so tempting!

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. Hubby has sniffles and I have stuffed nose so I hope this is just a cold and leaves quickly. Dinner is planned for Christmas eve but we may have to move to the weekend. Weather here does not look good. Rain all morning and afternoon Thursday with a quick drop in temperature late afternoon, maybe a layer of ice, and 2-4″ of snow through Christmas morning. I looked at my address today to make sure it didn’t say Juneau, Alaska after these last couple weeks, yuck! And if Hubby or I get any sicker, I will not go to mom’s and have her get it. Sooo, it’s going to be all last minute decisions.

Hope all is good on your end. Wishing you, hubby and Poppy a peaceful day – hold on tight to each other.💖🙏💖

Creating Meaningful Homemade Gifts

Whether you choose to give a gift or share your friendship, remember that it is the intention behind the thought that is most important.

The gifts we craft with our own hands are often the most significant because the love that drove us to create is infused in the products of our creation. And the recipients of these homemade offerings receive a token of our willingness to invest ourselves in their joy. Allow these ideas to inspire you:

1. When you craft a beautifully decorated prayer box (or jar) for loved ones, you give them the gift of spiritual awareness. As you share this gift, explain that it should serve as a receptacle for their hopes, dreams, and loves — as well as worries — and thus a reminder of who they were, are, and will someday be.

2. If you love journaling, share your writing joy with family and friends by giving each a unique, handmade personal journal. A simple spiral notebook dressed up with paper, fabric, photographs, or other embellishments will give your loved ones a special place to record their private thoughts.

3. Erase the distance between yourself and your far away loved ones by presenting each with a photo journal documenting how your life has changed in the past year. Or introduce them to your locale with a homemade guidebook that highlights everything you love about your town or city.

4. When you sew medicine bags for the people you care about, you can rest assured your gift will always be close to their hearts. A small pouch can be filled with many meditative or symbolic items, such as quartz crystals, sage, or magical objects.

5. A progressive photo album, wherein pictures tell the story of your relationships from the past up to the present, can be a simple yet poignant reminder of the many wonderful experiences you and your loved ones have shared over the years.

6. Give the gift of serenity with a guided meditation you create and record to CD or tape. Your loved ones will take pleasure in being led through tranquil landscapes by the soothing sound of your voice.

7. Hand-crafted ornaments that can be hung on trees, in windows, and on walls afford you an opportunity to surround the important people in your life with beauty. Whether you prefer to work with clay, crystals, fabric, baked dough, or natural objects, your gift can serve as a calming focal point in your loved ones’ homes.

Whether you choose to give a gift or simply share your friendship and love, remember that it is the intention behind the thought that is most important. 💕💕
