This week we are doing letter G with the girls, we are talking about giving and gingerbread and all that fun stuff. I was trying to get all my gifs ready. I want to make so many things I am going crazy!!! But I love it. I remember our first Christmas together with my husband. Since he was an student only and I had a teacher's salary, our budget was kind of short. So we decided to make some jewerly to the people we were giving gifts too. After that Christmas, his family decided it was a good idea to have a gift exchange of handmade things. I like that tradition!!
I made this for one of my co-workers at school. She loved it!
Chris made this. I like this one a lot!
Chris made this for me, this was my present! pretty don't you think?
Anyway, I think gifts that you make are more significant, here is the blanket I gave Estrella last year, I drew the animals then cut them in fabric, to tell you the truth this blanket was really hard for me to make.
by the time I was done sewing the animals, I was too tired to put some nice ribbon around, so just tied it, like the traditional fleece blankets.
I put a giraffe and a tree
a monkey
and an Elephant, which looks kind of wrinkled, but Chris said that elephants are wrinkled anyways.
So, I am working on my presents this year, I have finished some that I need to post here. what do you think about handmade gifts? when do you start making them to have them ready?
O Wuaw Beatris de verdad q eres bien talentosa, me han encantado todas las cosas q han hecho juntos como familia, creo q son los mejores regalos q alguien puede recibir, algo hecho por uno mismo, a mi me encantaria hacer cosas con mis hijos pero la verdad nunca se como empezar ni que hacer, pero de verdad que viendo todo esto me da aminos para empezar.

I love homemade gifts but feel I am unable to make the things I'd like due to lack of talent in that area lol. So, I put a lot of love and thought into what I do pick out.
