Do you have someone on your Christmas list who has everything? If they don't have it, they just go out and buy it. You know the the type. Maybe you have four or five of them on your list like I do? Michael's grandma is one of them. She's in her late 70's and has everything she could possibly ever want or need. Her favorite thing to get is things in bulk from Sam's Club! :) Michael's family gets her things like trash bags and toilet paper and laundry detergent because that is what she really wants. I'm sorry. I don't care how much someone asks for it.... I just can't bring myself to buy trash bags for Christmas. The last few years we've gotten her books. She likes to read and has appreciated them, but it's hard to know what she's read and what she hasn't. This year we decided to go with some homemade stuff. I am going to fill a basket with russian tea (recipe to come), a very nice candle, and some cards that I made. Who can't use some thank you cards or birthday cards? I wouldn't give these to someone who makes them for themselves already. But I've found the non-crafty person really enjoys these. I did this for part of my bosses gift last year and they both just raved about them.
Michael's grandma is a simple kind of person, so I tried to keep the cards that way too. I didn't want to go too crazy like I may do if it was from myself. I wanted to make sure she would actually like to give the card! :)
I really like the paper on this one.
One of my favs
The red music note has little beads on it.
I heart paisleys
The coloring didn't show up too well on this. It's coral. I added silver beads to this.
Another one of my favorites
The circles have glitter paint on them. (a little hard to see in the picture)
This says "You light up my life" on the inside
Bundle them up all cute, and there you go...
Those are very cute cards!! :-)
