Creative Gifting....

This past year

I decided that I was going to try

and make a lot of my gifts

instead of buying.

For basically two reasons

1- Save Money!

2- I had been thinking about

holidays,etc. and I honestly can say

the gifts that stood out in my mind

or I could remember at all...

were ones that were made for just me.

Like pictures, crafts, even baked or special made foods.

I made this Journal for my bestie girl Esta...

She of all my "people" I know 

has appreciation for hand crafted  and personal items.

A gift she made for me years ago is 

honestly one of my all time favorites.

I made her this journal for her birthday....

It was only a few months late...

(Hee-Hee)

but we live quite a few hours apart 

and today was a perfect day for us to catch up!

Hope you're having a lovely day!
