Most of my gifts this year will be homemade. I guess I took the ETSY homemade challenge out of necessity. But, I think that personal and homemade gifts are great! And, just for the record, I really don't want anything for Christmas. I just want the family to be healthy, happy and grateful for all we have. I would like us to remember what Christmas is about and engage in the spirit of giving. Giving does not necessarily mean buying or giving things of material nature. We can give extra time, do favors, make homemade personal gifts, and many other things. So in that spirit....I have some ideas to share for your spirit of giving this holiday season. Cocoa Cones -I got this idea from my friends Renea and Lisa-here is a great link for instructions on this idea A special letter -write a letter to someone you love and say all the things you have meant to say but havn't...tell them you love them Personalized photo gifts -like a fabric transfer pillow Cookies in a Jar -There are tons of...

Here is Marisa and Mireya's pillow. I could not resist adding that photo to something she could keep. I worked on it last night and finished it this morning. Yes, I got up early! I can't sleep when Craig is not here and Biscut is not real happy with me because I'm not as fun as Daddy so he tossed and turned, I tossed and turned and finally gave it up. Now Biscut is napping on my bed. It's like, "Shew she's gone...now I can sleep". Heehee Anyway, the pillow is just a small token of appreciation for my dear friend Marisa. She was so good to me this week. When I was having car troubles, I had to leave my car in the shop so she let me drive her car back to Big Spring (home) from Midland and keep it until the next day. She's just cool like that! So she gets this tomorrow at work.

I have worked on the custom pillow on and off all day and I finally have it ready to show you! I think it is a great idea for a Christmas present. I am going to be doing custom pillows-taking orders now for Christmas. This size 18"X18" (pretty big) is $45.00. I can also do smaller ones. Pillow forms range in size. All you have to do is send me the pic and approve the fabric swatchs before I begin. If you want words or text...you will need to supply that too. Send me an email and I will get right back to ya! Now here is a pic of the pillow working for you.
