the yearly party we went to friday is famous for its great food, but also for it's hilarious white elephant exchanging... some gifts have had great thought put into them, some great ammounts of money, some great sacrafice...like when people decide to part with big old broken t.v.'s, "special mugs", or amazing works of art like the following:
this magical pegasus picture is one of the gifts Chris and I brought, entitled
"My Horn Can Pierce the Sky"
I was lucky enough in the passing back a forth, to obtain this glittery pinkish fan decor made by someones loved one, for reals. She takes special orders in any colors to match your home. How often do you see something made with forks, lace, puff paint, glitter, and silk flowers...there is even a ribbon hanger on the back to place it on your wall....PRESH!
In other news...i try to make as many gifts myself as possible, it saves money and feels a little more meaningful. i've been making these soldered charm necklaces, made popular at the highland store, dear lizzie. i take special orders if anyone is interested...my prices are better than anywhere else and include- initial charm. bubble crown charm, angel wing charm, and chain....$25.
my friend and i were on the same wavelength with aprons on our minds. she made us each the most adorable aprons as seen in the previous post. i had been working on completing this half apron for a late birthday/housewarming gift for another friend.... you can never have enough aprons, that i know!
HAVE YOU MADE ANYTHING FABULOUS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS THIS YEAR?

I almost pee'd my pants with that unicorn picture. More so because of the office episode! Pha ahaa! I'm still laughing. I usuallly try to make my Christmas presents but this year I have been so busy I am way behind and wondering what I'm going to do!
Can I get 2 of those necklaces?? I need them both to have the inital M on them...
Yeah I am serious I really want to get 2 of them for my nieces. They are 17 and 13...What do you think they should have on them??? Both of their names start with M's so I know I want the M but other than that I will leave it up to your creative genius...
Love the Unicorn!!!! Laughed my butt off! Do you do special orders of that too? To match my house?
I don't know about those necklaces...:), but I HAVE to obtain one of those "FORK FANS!"
I woke up last night at about 6 and worried till morning that you knew I was soooo joking about your cool necklaces! I hope you know I would much rather have the bitchen necklace than the puffed paint fan. :) Thank you tons for the gift! I am thinking you were out delivering in the blizzard because you are leaving for Idaho. If I am right I wish I would have been able to gift you before you left.:( I will hold onto it if that is the case. Merry Christmas!!!
you've got friends in Denver, girl! all my friends stalk your blog. Keep up the good creative work.
