So today is my birthday! And I'm sharing some presents with you all! :-)
Kate Spain has some of her Terrain designs featured on some items at Michael's Stores. She shared about them on her blog several weeks ago, shortly after which I hunted them down!
I will be giving away these two ink pen & pad combos along with a few other little surprises. Want to win one? Just leave a comment on this post telling me EITHER your favorite handmade gift you ever received OR your favorite handmade gift to make and give. I will choose two random winners after 5 PM on Sunday, 8/26/12 and announce them here on the blog on Monday, 8/27/12. One comment per person, please.
Have a wonderful day!
UUh OOh! I'm the first one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
The favorite gift I received was an afghan my SIL gave me for Christmas! It was a year when I was really stressed at work and at home and I felt all the love and care she put into it with every stitch! I cherish it every day!
Thanks for the Giveaway!
Take care, Leslie
Yes, I saw these Kate Spain gifts, but they aren't available here in Australia! I made my dear late Mum a quilt for Mother's Day a number of years ago. It brought her a great deal of pleasure and it now lives with me! Thanks for the giveaway!

A very Happy Birthday to you! My favorite handmade gift was/is a cute ginormous bag that folds into a little pocket, made by my Mother in law. I still can't get it back into the pocket though. LOL
ReplyDeleteAwe, you're a sweetie! Happy Birthday!!!! I saw those at Michael's a while back. I didn't buy any, so winning one would be too cool.
ReplyDeleteSo, I think I love to give little things...handbags, zippered pouches...it really depends upon the person. I prefer to give something made if I can...but sometimes you just can't.
Happy Birthday again!

ReplyDeleteMy Birthday is tomorrow... I am taking the day off and play around with my family.
My favorite gift ever was when my Gram gave me her engagement ring from my Gramps to her before he went off the WWII... I miss them.
I painted a breadboard for my mommy one year. And the joy it brought her makes it my favorite handmade gift.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Hope you have a great day celebrating!

ReplyDeleteI love handmade pottery! Even though it wasn't a gift, I bought a beautiful soup cup from an artist at a craft show and it's my favorite dish to use.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy fav. homemade gift I've ever received was a calendar wall hanging quilt my sister-in-law made for me. I'm training to be a doula and the 12 squared quilt was made so that I can sew on a button to remember each baby's birth that I attend. It was a sweet gift idea.
Happy Birthday Chrissy! When my husband and I were first dating, way before we ever lived in Seattle, we visited the city together. We ended up eating at a very nice restaurant that served amazing key lime cheesecake. Once we had returned home, and my birthday rolled around, he decided to make me a key lime cheesecake from scratch to remind me of our first trip together. My husband never bakes so it was truly special for him to do this!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. One of my favorite handmade gifts is a little chicken pincushion that I use all the time. I like to make quilts with matching pillowcases for gifts to others for special occasions.
