I wish you all a very happy St Valentine day! and i hope you are surrounded by love ( not only the romantic one).
I was asked for some pictures of what i sent for christmas and after... i don't have a picture for all as it depends on the receiver approval or not so i will perhaps add more later when i receive them or add them under the handmade tabs later...... anyway since today is the day of love and since i made those with all mine i thought it was the perfect day to share ^^;; ( before the flu wins over)
So i have sent what i could and i don't want as a rule to limit the people because of their country so i sent everywhere but sometimes smaller gifts. ( need to respect the customs rules too) Also let's be honest ^^ side from the shipping fee it's also depend on the information i got ^^ the more i know the receiver's tastes the more i can try to respect them or have more ideas of creations.... i send nearly 20 packages ( i lost count) with handmade bookmarks, handmade scarf or bracelet ( for those who loved the one i made for Suzanne johnson contest)...also some other little one ( keychain etc) but the list would be too long.
And now that the last one has been received as soon as i'm healed for goods i will start working on the next ones so if you ever receive an email from me asking for your tastes ^^ be as complete as you can so your surprise gift can please you ( i hope so).
Each piece being handmade they are never exactly identique even if the pattern is the same ( some love the same things after all^^)
And if you wonder it was not sent only to long time friends but if i feel like you could need some cheering up of if you have been kind to me ( or someone i know) i tend to want to return the favor and yes sometimes after that the person become a friends but it's not a pre requise. It depends of the time i have of course but i do my best thus is why i already started a list.
i do think i prefer to do this because no reprocity is awaited it's simply sharing the love and the christmas magic, of course i'm delighted when i receive something as well but it's not mandatory...which is the opposite of a christmas card exchange....because there i was disappointed with only two answer only on the bunch i send so i will probably focus my money for the surprise /magical gift than on a card excahnge in 2015
example of bookmarks:
to Sullivan mcPig from Pearls cast in front of a McPig
to Nat from reading romances in Brazil:
To Laura ( scarves and bookmark) from Colorimetry
to Amber:
i must admit that the for the hat my mother helped a lot since i'm a beginner at knitting
no picture of the others so far but if i receive some i will share :)
Did you receive a gift that you found more special or magical than the others in 2014? If you could receive one for Christmas 2015 what you would prefer?
Happy Valentines sweetie!!!! I LOVE my gifts from you! Even if the hat is way to big! :) I still wear it! I just sent you the pics. Sorry it took me a bit.

really that big? (oki i still need to improve)i wanted you to be able to pull your hair inside if you wanted ( i guess i have more than you;)
Supprimeri'm really glad you loved those and don't worry time isn't a matter
( now think for this year^^)
Those are great gifts. I like the bookmarks :)
RépondreSupprimerthank you it was my first attempt at this kind of bookmark but i loved making them
SupprimerI think I spot some feathers right behind your shoulders ... yes, indeed - you must be an angel! After all, you so generously and lovingly surprise us with gifts that all come from the heart, so it's no wonder I mistake you for a celestial being. ;-)
RépondreSupprimeri'm honored you think so but i'm far from an angle
Supprimerthough.....wings could be handy when it comes to delivery;)
And, here I was thinking that I was special. J/K! You are very generous, and talented. I wore my scarf to the store just yesterday. I'm saving my dark chocolate bar for when I need a pick-me-up though. I shared a pic of your gift on Instagram. Feel free to snag it if you want. :)

you are special after all i did spend hours on it when it could have been easier to gp buy a bunch but i think each one of you deserve something done while i thought of him or her one gift for one person simple as that
Supprimeri hope it was warm enough, thank you for the picture and yes chocolate can be saved for confort time^^ that's their magic
