i've got all the lip balms done, and i'm making some simple felt hair clips/brooches just as a proof, if they turn out nice I may give them as well..
I'd like to know your opinions but i don't know how to upload pictures here :S can you help me?

I'm also looking for cute packaging: i think that even the simplest thing will make a better impression if it's well wrapped Happy

please forgive my english and don't hesitate to correct me!

To upload pictures, get a Photobucket account and upload them onto there, and it'll give you a few links, copy the one which is like and paste it into here =)

I'm on a v limited budget this year so I'm planning on making some of my pressies. I think its likely to be jewellery as thats what I make the most of and I may have a go at the odd other thing. hmm I'm going to have to get my thinking hat on Happy

At the moment I am customising some cheapo wooden photo frames for christmas presents by either painting them with acrylic paints, sticking on glass pebbles or sticking on some buttons and grouting them or hitting the cheap glass clip frames with some glass paints. I also have been doing alot of jewellery making, keyrings and bag charms for christmas presents for the girlies and making some little make-up purses. Some christmas cross stitch cards and gift tags. Also, apple chutney, christmas cake & brandied pears. I've made 6 tea-cup candles and just started soap making...

Sounds a lot when I write it all down! What else is everyone doing? xx

Need to do my brother's present still (tried to do the tape thing and totally failed haha), then I need to finish my mum's present as I have embroidered stuff but nothing else. I'm going to make a top for Andy, and probably a watch as I've adopted his, but it'll depend on my finding a decent watch which can be customised. Might make him the zip bracelet, deciding whether he would like it or whether I should just make one for myself haha

You could do something with picks? They're pretty cheap. Or stencil a tshirt of his favourite band. I think I'm gonna stencil my boyfriend an In Flames tshirt
