A photo of the beachy pencil gift…It can be adapted to any interest – I am working on a book lovers edition to give to my book group friends this year!
The holidays hang heavy in the air – and what a festive air it is! – and I am working on some homemade gifts. I know many others out there are also making gifts for the holidays, and sometimes it takes a little inspiration to come up with something new for those special people on your list.
For today’s Friday field trip, I am going through the pleasure in simple things ‘archives’ – posts of 2012 – and have picked out some do-it-yourself gift ideas for you! Simply click on the gift name in green to be directed to the instructions to make that particular gift.
I will share more ideas in the days ahead, but I hope this list will help you find something to make that will be perfect for someone on your list! Enjoy!
