The crafting has continued post holidays. The months of January and February are filled with celebrations and gift giving. We have the last of the three January Birthdays happening next week, with special requests for specific handmade gifts. I am happy to say one is almost complete and I think it is going to be a big hit. The second has yet to be started, requiring me to retreat to my crafting corner the next few evenings working late.
We are also thrilled to be part of a Valentine's day swap. There are four families involved, each sending to and receiving from different families. The packages are handcrafted, and we are busy working around the table each afternoon. We aren't going to even give hints ....but when they have been sent and received we will fill you in.
We have also signed up for another swap of handmade goods. It has been exciting getting to know someone totally new, and sharing a piece of our family with them. We are in the brainstorming stage and will keep you posted as to how it is going.
This weekend we have a friends birthday. The kids have been coming up with some amazing ideas; an adventure bag, stilts, a list of 9 great things about our friend, an invitation for tea, bendy people. There is no doubt the gift we would love to gift will surface.
Grammy's birthday is around the corner, as is chinese new year and valentine's day. So there isn't a break anytime soon, which is just the way we have been liking it lately!
