Crafting for gifts-2009

she_grinch

Is it a big box and do you want to use it yourself or give it as a gift, as a gift you could fill each section with pot pourri, shells, dried flowers and fragrant oil
a foodie gift homemade cookies,
a crafty gift fill with ribbon, sewing thread, scissors etc,
rolled socks
tea towel or flannel cupcakes

Just found this quote and think it's lovely. All my cards and paper crafts have a stamp which says "handmade by me" but I think this might need to be used instead!

"Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness..."

she grinch - its about 11" x 5" and each section is 3" gap -depth is about 3".
I wouldn't mind using it for myself if I could think what for but then I thought I could concoct a xmas pressie out of it. Its the rope on top of the width that baffles me. I suppose I could get rid of it and just use the box..........would be handy to fill with 'emergency' stuff........sewing/first aid/general bits you run out of. Can't remember where that list was now - it was somewhere on one thread or another............ typical me - didn't write it all down, just some of it.

sian - what a lovely quote

That is a lovely quote Sian, I may have to borrow that too..

Lovely things - those carnations for a start, the belt, and the Christmas stockings. Some of the pot holders looked too good to use.
