But I'll see if can post 1 or 2 pics this week, of Christmas gifts I made this year. @Mary Ellen: Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! Next year I will make my gifts in the Summer too! It's nuts trying to finish everything at the end! @saroj: Thank you!! Those kind of wire bookmarks are beautiful! They will look great with your handmade beads and the people who receive them will love them! @MJ: I completely agree with you… and no the picture is not of something I made.

Got an idea this morning to make wire bookmarks as gifts. I've got a bunch of PC beads which I plan to use as dangles. I usually hammer the copper wire bookmark after its made.cheers,saroj Hi Cindy,

He is 39 now! I have always been into crafts, I started out sewing then I started painting pictures (oils, then acrylics). Fell in love with crewel work. My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet. Started a small company when the kids were older making country wooden items in the 70s. Then along came companies that made the same except cheaper and cheaply made. Anyway my family always loved handmade gifts. I hope that the economy will bring back that special meaning of someone giving something that they put their personal touch to. I start making gifts in the summer so there will be time for me to enjoy the holidays with my family and not be so stressed out running around looking for that last minute gift. This year for the first time, everyone finally agreed not to bring gifts to the family party for everyone and to just enjoy being with each other, remembering what the true meaning of Christmas is about and play catch up on what has been going on in everyones lives. There is 32 of us so you can imagine all these years all the stress of having something for everyone! I never had to worry , but everyone else did. I'm so happy they're happy! Well I didn't mean to rattle I just thought I'd share. Happy Holidays to everyone! And thank you again Cindy for sharing what you know. That is a special gift to me.

My plan is to make gifts for many occasions this next year. The economy is a factor but not the major one. I think handmade gifts are actually more personal because they represent more thought and loving care than purchased ones can convey. Is the picture an item you made? MJ Hi Cindy.
