More gifts from the heart!

I wanted to share a special gift from the heart I received from my niece. She attends Notre Dame University and is in a glass club where she gets to make some cool glass projects. I am so honored to be given a mug from her that she etched using one of my whimsical character drawings that I made into a greeting card. Talk about a surprise! She made it into a line drawing and then painfully cut around all the little swirls and edges, so she could etch the design into the glass. How cool is that!

Below is the drawing she used to make my beloved mug!

Don't you just love gifts from

the heart, they're the best!

Gifts from the Heart

I've been busy finishing up last min Christmas gifts.

I normally make fairy boxes, but instead I made this one a guardian angel box for my son's girlfriend. I used a picture of her playing with her mother on the beach. Her mother recently lost her battle to cancer. On the back of the box I printed up the following:

Your Guardian Angel

Everything is okay up here.

I may not be there with you,

but I’ll watch over you.I may

not be there to talk to you, but

I’ll watch over you.
Listen to me. Look for my signs.

For I am your guardian angel,

I will watch over you

with great care and love.

For my daughter in law I made a shadow box and put their wedding invitation along with one of their wedding favors (a bottle filled with pink sand and sea shells), a silk orchid branch, and a shell. To be able to get a decent picture I took it out of the black framed shadow box to take it. I then used photoshop to add a frame so this isn't the actual frame.

Last year hubby worked on a train he made for our son this year he's been making 2 more pieces to go with it. Click HERE to see last year's gifts from the heart.

Gifts from the Heart

I thought I'd share some gifts hubby made for Christmas...

Here's a copper necklace that hubby totally surprised me with! I am so thrilled to have something he's made! I saw him making part of it, but though it was part of the train he was making for one of our sons and had no clue it was a part of a necklace for me!

Here you can see that the copper cover swings open to reveal a polished piece of stainless steel. He had originally planned to stamp with tiny metal stamps Beautiful at the base of the mirror but even with the tiny stamps he had it was too big to fit the word.

Here's a money train he made for one of our sons who collects trains....each of the nickles have been threaded and will roll along the train track.
