Our Homemade Christmas Crafts

While I have much to say about our annual girlfriend Christmas get-together, I must share with you the presents we exchanged. One rule: It must be crafty.

And my friends did not disappoint!

 Carley made personal magents with a list of "10 Things I Love About You" on the back. So sweet.
 Stefanie made us each 'snow globes' (deer, tree, 'snow', in a jar). Clever, right?

 El sewed us bags out of fabric she had at home. Beautiful! So talented!
 Jenna made framed messages, prompted with "I love you because...". These can be reused since the message is written in dry erase marker. Very thoughtful.

 Meg made us all snowflake 'wreaths', hand painted and all! What a lot of work and neat we can use them every year!

 Vangie made us coasters that matched the decor themes of our homes. Ya, super intentional.

Li gave us lavendar bath salts (poor Vangie. Learned she was allergic.) Although Li got flack for not 'making' the salt, she did stamp the trees onto tags!

I made word clouds for each friend that represented characteristics we admired the most of each other and made them into cards.
