~gift for the writer or journaler~

For those of you looking for inexpensive but

meaningful and useful gift ideas this holiday

season, I think this is a good one for the

person who journals.     

  

This little journal was a gift I gave my son's

teacher for her wedding last month. 

I don't know her very well and I don't 

know how she decorates so I felt this was

a safe gift. I figured even if she doesn't journal

she could use it for a notebook in her purse 

or household. Luckily-she loved it and said

she does journal. I received a very nice journal

from a dear friend for my 30th birthday

and to this day it's been one of my favorite gifts.

How are y'all coming along with your

Christmas shopping? Do you have a ton

of projects to finish? I have a fair amount

to bust out.....most seem like they should

be simple but things tend to take longer

than I anticipate. It's mostly jewelry that

needs made-thank heavens it's something

I LOVE to do. I never tire of making jewelry.

I especially love to make jewelry pieces

for those I love.....I like to put a little 

personal touch into each piece.

Next up I'll be sharing a ring I made (by accident)

and a necklace that someone made 

especially for me :)

The most time consuming of my projects.....

photo books and calendars.

I love making them but they are sooooo

time consuming.

However, worth every single minute put into them.

If anyone knows of any free photo book offers

right now-LET ME KNOW! 

Usually I find some before now and I still

haven't seen any this holiday season.
