Gifts...

I made some Christmas gifts this year that turned out great! I would have posted before but needed to wait until they were all received first. ;) I did 4 wall hangings and 2 framed layouts. It's so nice giving a handmade gift that you can tell is really appreciated...

*My best friend Cathy, along with her hubby Adam (also my brother-in-law) and their 4 kids - Daniel, Marybeth, Hannah & Abbey. The journaling is something that was written by Cathy about what Holiday traditions mean to her. It's absolutely beautiful...

*My mom Mary and her hubby Mike. This Scripture was read at their wedding and I thought it went perfectly with this great picture of them...

*My mother-in-law Arlene (far right) visiting with her friends Polly & Harold. They are like parents to her and she asked me to make this for them, which I gladly did...

*This is a poem written by a sweet lady named Hilda, who is a dear friend of my mother-in-law, Arlene. When I read it, I was so moved and knew I needed to make her something to celebrate it...

*My baby sister Maryann and myself. She's about to turn 23 and has grown into such a responsible, wonderful person. I just love her so much and am sooooo proud of her!!

*My sister Amy and niece Kasey. They both seem to avoid my camera as much as possible, so when I got this picture of them together, I knew I had to scrap it! They really liked it so I'm happy I did...

Sorry about the pictures...they were taken at night so the colors are off a little. You get the general idea though, right? :) Thanks for looking!
