Pink Christmas

Pink Christmas 2009

Oh how I wish I had better news for 2009.
Links, brinks and kinks are pushing a deadline for this year further and further back.
I am sad to announce that Pink Christmas is not going to happen this year
Trust me I am as sad as you.
Have a great Christmas and find someone to do something Pink for!

To Erin From Bree C.

Since she loves red I made that my theme. And I thought since she was a busy
mom she needed some things for herself. So I made some crochet flower hairpins, a red
necklace, crochet earrings and some lotions and some Christmas ornaments. I hope she liked it!

2008-12-27T09:41:00.001-05:00

To Angela S. From Diana H.

I made a photo frame for her with the words "Our Journey" on it because she and her husband enjoy so many different activities together, and she enjoys taking pictures. I also included a jar of silk flowers for her to use with her scrapbooking.

I sent Whitney a set of blocks that say Noel, a children's book (a family tradition of ours is to collect one each year), paraffin hand cream (Whitney is a doctor and I sure washes her hands a lot and may need some TLC) and I sent her an embroidery that I made with a quote from one of my favorite songs "O, Holy Night".

I knew Whitney in high school but haven't talked to her since then. It was really fun to be able to give someone I knew a Pink Christmas gift.

I made Nik a Journal Jar with TONS of ideas for writing in her new journal.
I also threw in some of my favorite candles from my hometown in TN. My
thought was for her to take some time for herself- light a candle, and
journal.

I made her a book to record special events for each of her family
members, as well as a little 'Remember' notebook for her to carry in
her bag or somewhere where she can have it to record funny moments she
doesn't want to forget. Then the homemade photo album is to tie that
together as she can put her family photos in it and record some of
those moments through pictures.

My Pink Christmas sister was Stacy B. and I made her a set of quilted drink coasters for her new home. They have a cherry motif because she loves cherries! I also picked her up some fun decorations for her favorite holiday, Halloween! (Some are homemade, some are not......there was only so much I could do!)

Suzanne's favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, so I made her a fabric banner to display (next year!). She also collects fleur de lis, so I found these cute bookends for her to use with the cookbooks she loves!

To Natalie A from Elaine H

On Natalie's information sheet, she indicated that she would almost always choose a family night in over a girl's night out. So I made her a book of 12 fun things to make or do with her family--one for each month of the year. I also made a calendar with all sorts of fun--and some even downright silly--holidays for her to celebrate with her family. I threw in a Kid's Cookbook for fun and added a chocolate reindeer since she loves chocolate.

To Lelly from Sherri P
From reading about Lelly’s taste in music I thought she would love my brothers CD. One of her favorite “treats” is Hershey’s kisses. I put a blue and green flower on the craft since that is her favorite color. I put it all in a Christmas bag.

A Holly Berry Wreath Family Photo Wall Hanging for Holly

Holly is a great photographer of her children
so I wanted to include her photos in her gift somehow.
I found these holly wreaths and thought "Holly!"
Sent a simple 18" towel bar to hang them on
or she might have some other great place to hang them.
Hope she likes them as much as I enjoyed making them
and getting to know her through her blog.
I also had to send her a buckeye (the small nut in the package)
since she is from Michigan and I'm from Ohio. Go Buckeyes!

Chelsea's sheet talked about her love of the spa and travel.

So I attempted to make spa products and included a travel spa-ish kit.

To Rebecca N. from Amanda L.

I made a quilt for Rebecca because I wanted to share my love of quilting with her. I know she has a lot of red in her home and so I tried to use colors that would match well. It's a small quilt [about 20" square], so it can be hung on the wall, or used as a centerpiece on a table, or whatever else she would like.

To Chris R. from Mary Anna G.

had so much fun creating gifts for Chris! I knitted her this scarf using two different yarns then I finished it with a gorgeous ribbon fringe. Chris runs a home-based business, so I also created her this office set using some of my favorite patterned papers. I hope she loves it!

This is the scarf I made for Chris. Sage green is her favorite color so that's what I used. I also made her some stationery with her name on it but I forgot to take a picture of that before I wrapped it up:)

2008-12-25T06:00:00.085-05:00

To Becky P. from Roxanne D.

I picked up a humble Nativity from Wal-Mart. At first, I purchased a smaller wreath and was going to take out the figurines and glue them individually around the wreath. Walking through our neighborhood, I noticed a wreath with a Santa taking up the whole middle and thought I could do that with the Nativity. I tried not to make it too lavish to take away from the focal point. I ran out of ribbon so the bow ended up being smaller than I would have liked. It cost me about $25 dollars to make it and almost that much to send it.

I came up with the idea searching the Internet for Nativity crafts. Not many wreath ideas, but enough to get the creative juices flowing.

2008-12-25T06:00:00.084-05:00

To Bonnie S. from Kristen

There's a cute monogram for her new house, an "almost handmade" ornament for this year(I did alter it a bit), and a deliciously juicy apron to brighten up those dull winter days. Merry Christmas!

To Taryn from Kat B.

Taryn's favorite color is red, and she loves bracelets. So, I got her some red jewelry and a couple of bracelets. She loves her kids and family, so she got a plaque with a fantastic quote about family (that is also in red, of course). And a cute candle that has red in it too. :) I hope she likes it!

To Stephanie P. from Elizabeth G.

Stephanie said she likes to garden so I made her a couple of different things I hope she can use: a book with pockets to hold seeds (it has places for notes and little garden quotes and sayings), some plant stakes with more garden quotes, some little planters, a garden box filled with little note cards and these little pots she can use as ornaments or chimes.

I also gave her a bunch of gummy candies since that's her favorite treat. And as a gift from me, I filled a little box with things I like and hope she will like too.

To Christie H. from Kim M.

The blocks spell out Ho Ho Ho on one side and the family name on the other. I also put together a book of fun Christmas traditions--recipes, craft ideas, charitable ideas--just a random assortment of fun things to do with the family because she loves to do things with her kids and loves holiday traditions, so I'm hoping her family might find a couple new ones to incorporate into their celebration.

2008-12-25T06:00:00.074-05:00

To Shauna H. from Eve

This is a Christmas Advent Calendar made out of 24 matchboxes from person new to the craft scene. Each drawer contains one instruction (suggestion) of what to do that day. For example, "enjoy some hot chocolate as a family and share your favorite thing about Christmastime" or "drive around to view the Christmas lights". I tried to include things I noticed this family already did from her blog. I also included a cute little red box and some of my favorite chocolates from Germany

2008-12-25T06:00:00.066-05:00

To Jenny S From Rita G

After reading about Jenny on her web sites I discovered she liked “Twilight”, so I made a ceramic tile with a quote from Edward on it.

Her blog is Scheib Tribe so I made a tile with that also. I included a window sticker for her car that says “ Be Safe” another Edward quote from Twilight, just for fun.

Hope she likes them J

To Anne C. from Jennifer V.

At first I was so intimidated to create something for Anne because she seems much chic-er and way more edgy that I am. Anne seems to like a much more city-girl type of creation than I thought I could come up with. So naturally, I put it off. But the cool thing was that the longer I waited and the more I read Anne's blog I felt like I totally got to know her from a stalker in the shadows kind of way! Anne loves to run and really seems to find joy in the challenge of her several past marathons and I'm sure big plans for the future. I admire this spirit in Anne and wanted to give her something to walk by each day to remind her of her goals and also her achievements. I hope this works, Anne. Keep on running, Girl!

(This is a embroidered cloth stretched on canvas)
