225 Cards & Gifts MONSTER GIVEAWAY!!!!!


225 Cards & Gifts! 225? Amazing!! I can't wait to get my hands on this issue. The cover itself is inspiring and yummy! Don't you love the color combo?
Handmade gifts are priceless and I am always on the lookout for new ideas. :)

Speaking of gifts, a student in my night class just had a baby boy. He is SO CUTE!
I used the Bungle Jungle line from Sassafras Lass to make a gift set for her. Do you recognize the color combo? ;-)


The card is a gift cardholder. All you have to do is pull the ribbon and the gift card slides right out from behind the monkey.


I just love how this little box came out. Check out those handles! They were made from stickers.


I made a set of quick cards for her too. They coordinate with the other items and could easily be used as 'Thank You' cards.

Your gift set is just adorable.
My most memorable gift was a single white silk rose my son gave me. He was in 1st grade. He bought it at school for Mother's Day. The school had a shopping day for all the kids! I still have it and my son is now 32! Thanks for the chance to win these great crafting items.

karahoward said...

It's not the most memorable, but this year my husband gave me the complete collection of Jeeves and Wooster. I was completely surprised. That counts for something!

Cathy Y. said...

Thanks for the chance to win. My favorite gift was the year my husband bought me a set of black pearls. I just loved them.

Ashley Newell said...

Super cute Mare Bear! My hubby just gave me the sweetest gift for our anniversary. It's a diamond pendant necklace with a heart that's a little lopsided. He said it make him think of me since the heart looked like it had been hugged. :)

Debbie Nelson said...

Love your gift set...great colors. My wonderful sister, Kimberly, gave me a gorgeous glass box that lights up with an etched picture of our precious daughter. Our daughter, Jennifer, passed away at the age of 28. Kimberly gave us this gift on the first anniversary of her death. She was and continues to be our rock!

What great prizes! Your jungle set is just TOO cute! I might just have to CASE it for my nephew :D
The most memorable gift? That would be a First Edition copy of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" that a family friend gave me when I was just 6 years old. I didn't realize just how valuable it was until I recently rediscovered it among my "kid stuff" -- I just knew as a kid it was the neatest old book I had ever read (and read and read and read!) My parents probably didn't realize the value either because I was never lectured about taking care of it -- I just did because it seemed special, even to a kid. :)

Your projects are beautiful and what an awesome giveaway!

BethW said...

I have been eyeing this collection-it is so cute!
My first Mother's day my husband gave me a little wooden outhouse and inside was a tiny little note that said Happy Mother's day from the little poop!

A Webb Of Creations said...

Your projects are beautiful. Thanks for the chance. Most precious gift was a scrapbook my kids made for me, many years ago.

My special gift was a gift book from my mom that told about her life growing up.

Melissa S. said...

I really like the box and all the other stuff too. What fun paper. You know when ever someone ask about a favorite gift I've received I can never think of one. I don't really have a favorite I don't think. I love them all.

Scrapycandy said...

Your project is so bright and cheery! My most memorable gift was my engagement ring which we could finally afford on our 5th wedding anniversary. This year is our 25th! and we will probably spend very little money this year. I think I'll scrap our wedding..finally. LOL!

crosswalk said...

My most memorable gift would be my kids, does that count?

Pam Clay said...

What an adorable box and I love the colors you chose! This is a very cute set!

Anne said...

Talk about unbelievably adorable! Love the colors! How cheerful!

Queen of her Castle said...

I would say the most memorable gift I ever received was the plate rack my husband gave me for Christmas one year. Long story but it was totally not what I had in mind however he did go out of his way to try and find what I had asked for. I now am much more specific when he asks me what I want.

Donna said...

So cute! I love the items you made for your friend. I am sure she appreciated it. I think the most memorable gift I've ever received is a rose bush when my two boys were little. One of then told me the rose was as pretty as me. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a wonderful weekend!

heidi said...

I love your gift set! The colors are amazing!

The most memorable gift I've received was a set of handprint ornaments from my mom. She traced my kids' little hands onto vintage book papers when they were 1- and 4-y-o, cut them out, distressed them, and put yarn loops on them to hang. Very simple (and a "why didn't I think of that" thing) but every year now when I pull those ornaments out for the Christmas tree, I get a little choked up.

Taylor Chase Graham said...

A scrapbook that my darling daughter made for me. She contacted family members and friends and had them all write a letter to me. All of the letters and tons of pictures are in the scrapbook. I still cry whenever I look at it.

a paper {life} said...

My most memorable gift is one I receive every day and it is the opportunity to raise my nephew. I have raised him since he was an infant and he is now 13. I don't know what my life would be like without him in it.

That is my most memorable gift.

Most memorable gift was when my husband bought me my first computer.

Anita said...

I want to spend the day blog hopping and checking out cards! Wow! They're awesome!

The most memorable gift I've received was a sweater vest from mom for Christmas. It was a year when dad had been laid off for a long time and money was very tight. The gifts that year were simple and filled with love.

Prairie Scrapbooking said...

Amazing project, and very generous prizes. Please count me in for a chance to win. Today's my Birthday, and that would just top it off.

buzzy said...

I think the most memorable gift I ever received was an air hockey game my parents gave my brother, sister and I one Christmas. It was so amazing!

Cindy van Oorschot said...

wow, the most memorable gift I received was my parrot for Christmas two years ago, I just love his attitude and his playfulness. Now if were talking homemade gifts that's a hard one cause i get alot of gifts from friends for christmas, but i guess the best would have been a set of wooden bears my friend made that sit on the shelf and spell out Noel.

Lupe Rocamora said...

My mom made me a beautiful silk flower arrangement when I had my first baby. She said this would last longer than fresh flowers. My baby is 17 now and I still have the flower arrangement. Was she ever right.

Christine Schmidt said...

I LOVE what you did with the Sassafras Bungle Jungle!! Way toooo cute--I am definetly going to have to purchase this line!!

*Analyn* said...

Thanks for the chance to win great prizes! The most memorable gift was my bibles. My first was received on my 12th birthday, which I still have and my fiance recently gave me a newer on b/c mine was a bit old! :)

C. Sage Deerborn said...

The most memorable gift I ever receive was not so much the actual gift, but the thought behind it.
It was some artificial roses from my son when he was 6 years old.
He thought that it would let me have roses every day.

CrystalMN said...

Wow cool giveaways! I would have to say that the most memorable gift I have received is a love letter that my dad sent to my mom before they were married and he was in the Army. It is memorable because both my parent have passed away so my sister gave it to me as a birthday present.

Alyssa said...

Great work!! Love those projects!

Just Call Me Grammy said...

Your projects are so cute! The most memorable gift I ever received was a camera purchased by my sweet hubby. He had been saving all the state quarters and I had been making fun of him not knowing he was saving them for a surprise gift for me. :-)

Andrea said...

I guess my bear, I still have him and love him as much now as I did then.

A tray with a glass insert with pictures from my best friend. It had pictures of one of trips to Oregon in it.

I recently picked up a copy of Stamp It magazine. Your cards were great! The most memorable gift I ever received was a quilt that my mom and grandma hand quilted for me. Be Blessed!

Tessa said...

I love your blog! I will be a regular visitor from now on.

About the best gift I ever recvd. I had to get stitches in my face just a couple weeks before my wedding. Needless to say I was very upset about wedding pictures. When I got home, my husband had a gift of some beautiful diamond studs and a note about my inner and outer beauty.

Karinn said...

I almost flipped out of my chair when I saw your little monkey! How sweet!

The best material gift I ever received was a pair of shoes from my grandpa as a little girl. He didn't believe in fads and fashion, but when he surprised me with a pair of shoes I wanted so bad, well, I knew that sometimes it's okay to spoil someone you love ;0)

Judy said...

When my nephew was in grade school, he had to make a card for his mom. But instead he crasted this lovely Mother's day card for me, Aunt Judy. I still treasure the card.

jeneaevan said...

Beautiful work, I cannot wait for this magazine! The most memorable gifts that I have been given are my son and my daughter, the GREATEST gifts ever!

Lisa Hjulberg said...

The one that comes to mind immediately is the necklace I'm wearing right now. My friend stamped my boys' names into a sterling silver circle and gave it to me on a silver chain. I adore it!

Anonymous said...

I just love everything you made! The box with drawers is so cute and colorful, and the monkey card is perfect for a child.

I love the patterned papers you have used!! My most memorable gift I have received is a stuffed animal that my husband gave me...it was an exact replica of one that I had when I was a child and lost when my house burned down!! I was so happy!

Ginny Larsen said...

i got a swiss army knife when i was 9 yrs old from my grandmother--i wanted one sooo badly. i ended up cutting myself while "whittling" a stick THREE times on my birthday. needless to say, my parents too the knife away for a year, and i got it when i was 10.

Elena said...

My most memorable gift was my engagement ring because my husband gave it to me in such a fun way - inside a baseball glove! Thanks!

Helen F. said...

What a FAB Giveaway! My most cherished and memorable gifts are the handmade cards from the grandchildren (7,6 and 3 years old). I have each and every one and will add them to each child's personal scrapbook. Thanx so much for the chance to win!

Blizzard said...

Well my Mom made me a GOTH calender that fits on a little easel. She really spent alot of time on it and the themes on each month is dead on. For example: A gothy little girl with an umbrella with rain coming down on her. Really SWEET!! Thanks for letting me enter.

fresh as a daisy said...

The most memorable gift I have recieved was a a video from my(now) husband. When he decided to purpose he put together a video of old pictures of my kids and family (pictures I had completly forgot about)with music and at the end there was a picture of my oldest daughter holding a sign that said "Mom....." and the next icture was my youngest daughter holding a sign that said "Will you marry Dad?". It was so much fun and I will never forget that wonderful gift!

Unknown said...

Most memorable gift I received was from my daughter for Mother's Day. It was a small sapphire ring. It was a Mother/Daughter ring. We both had the same ring, we have the same birthstone. If she has a daughter, I hope to give mine to her. what a generous giveaway.

Dawne Carlisle said...

Most memorable gift was a ring from my DH that was hanging from ribbon on the Christmas tree. He had it custom made especially for me!

Stahl Family said...

Most memorable gift -- anything handmade...I must say that the year I graduated my grandfather was dying (He died before my graduation) He gave me a check for 100.00 which was a lot to him and that way EEONS ago - anyway he gave me the money because I wanted to go to Isreal (never did make it) but it meant a lot to me that he thought to set that back before he passed away.

StampingJan said...

My most memorable gift was a little ring my husband gave me, before we were married, for Valentine's Day. It is just a little thing, not worth much at all, but still very special.
Thanks for the Blog Hop give-away opportunity.

Jane... said...

The most memorable would be a hand made candle my best friends gave me one year for christmas... She put alot of heart into it and that ment alot. THANKS~

Nina said...

Gorgeous Sassa Fras projects!!

The most fabulous gift I've ever recieved was a silver necklace made especially for me. Many of my dear scrapping friends in Sweden had collected money to buy it for me. The girl who designed the necklace gave the money she recieved directly to the Swedish Breast Cancer Fund. Isn't that just a fab gift, in more than one way? It sure made me cry happy tears :)

blessedgmp said...

My best gift came after a 5 month stint in the hospital. I came home to a house cleaned from top to bottom and a fridge full of food courtesy of my daughters in law and my friends.

kristinorth said...

I love the string of pearls my parents gave me the year my dad died. It will always be special to me.

Kim C. said...

I didn't go back to school until my children were in high school and the youngest was in grade school. Together with the help of their father they bought be a pair of diamond earings when I graduated with my BA. It was nice to see how proud they were of their dear old mother.

Deanna said...

Margie said...

My most memorable gifts at the moment come from my 2 yr old grandson.. Every week his sister has to complete a creatvie project for her spelling words. Matthew always makes the same version of the project and presents them to his ma each time they come. I have his paper pizza and a box with puzzle shaped pieces tucked in it with ribbons displayed prominently in my studio.

Debbie K. said...

My father hand crafted a wooden shelf for my hubby and me for Xmas many years ago. When he gave it to us, I noticed there was a heart cut out on either side of it and the center one was a hand carved heart that was three dimensional. He said, the heart on the left is yours, the one on the right is your husband's and the one in the center is your mother's and mine. I will keep that shelf always!

Diana Fisher said...

Love your blog, great ideas here. I am a fan of the Yudu, it looks so interesting. Thanks for including it in such a fun week of giveaways. Thanks!

Renee' Morris-Dezember said...

Maren this is ADORABLE!!! and this is an amazing give-a-way!!!WOW...my most memorable gift was given to me by Stuart - Christmas morning '06 - when he gave me my ring from Tiffanys - long story about how and why I wanted that ring - but I was quite surprised when I opened up my gift and saw that little blue box :)

Anonymous said...

What a wonderful set- the most memorable gift- a pearl necklace and matching earrings-

Nicole K/GothamGal said...

My most memorable gift would have to be a charm bracelet that my aunt gave me for my 13th birthday. It had been hers and even now, 16 years later, I pull it out and look at the charms. It allows me to remember her now that she's gone.

Rebecca Kettner said...

My greatest gift is being able to stay at home with my two children. I love being able to be home with them and see them learn and change every day.

Thanks for the opportunity to win! Your designs are awesome!!

Regina said...

Hi Maren,
Your project is adorable! What a great gift! I feel blessed to have received so many thoughtful gifts from my family and friends. My favorite gift is something I absolutely didn't want...a (almost) surprise party for my 5-0 birthday! I had the best time!!

Crafty Math Chick said...

For my 13th birthday my parents gave me this little elephant charm. It's ears wiggled and I simply adored it. It is still special to me to this day.

When I was a teenager, my dad made me this purse out of leather. At the time I thought it was hideous, but I treasure it more and more especially now that he's passed away.

Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize!!

Ms. Cheryl said...

My nephew surprised me for mother's day a few years ago. He gave me a diamond chip covered cross that he bought himself. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Thanks, ms.cheryl

melissa said...

my most memorable gift was the puppy my grandma gave me as a wedding present. The sweetest little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

april y said...

It must be my wedding ring!!!

Terri said...

My mom made me a quilt that I helped pick out the pattern and material for. I just love it but am afraid to put it on my bed as I have 4 furr babies.

Rebecca Ednie said...

Mymy most memorable gift was actually a series of gifts. I was going camping and I got a note saying to go look in the garage. There was a camp stove with a note to go look in the next location. On to a lantern, dishes and some other gear. I still remember how much fun it was to continue on to each new hiding place!

traci in virginia said...

My most memorable gift is a locket my children gave me with a picture of their father. He passed away in November and they gave it to me for Christmas. My 11 year old daughter picked it out and was very specific. I love it.

Lori A. said...

Wow!! That is a beautiful gift set! What a lucky lady!

I have been given two of the most memorable gifts ever - my daughter and my son. They are the light of my life. I can't ever imagine my life without them. They make me laugh, cry and everything in between! I love them SOOOOO much!

Cat Tidwell said...

Oh what an awesome gift set Maren! LOVE those colors too!

I believe my most awesome gift I received was one from my DH, a handmade ring he made me out of stainless steel pipe!! LOL!

Grateful Gramma said...

I really, really need to win this! :-)

Angela M said...

My husband gave me a message in a bottle (he typed out the most beautiful letter). I hold it very dear to my heart!

Laura Evangeline said...

Oh! I absolutely love that monkey!

Dari said...

My husband gave me a beautiful diamond anniversary ring. He wrapped it with a pair of gloves and had the ring slipped on one of the fingersof the glove, so I couldn't tell by the package that it was jewelry. He's always thinking.

Marty Walden said...

Probably the most memorable gift was my engagement ring!

Winnie Uffelmann said...

My husband surprised me one day by clearing space in the basement and beginning a stamping area for me... I was so touched...I remember watching him put up lights and then he asked what I would like added and I asked him to cut a hole in the table for my garbage scraps like I have seen done online.. He did it and I love it.. He has since passed away, so my time stamping in that area brings me smiles each and every time...

Sarah Martina said...

Maren I JUST purchased some goodies from this line with my 18-month old son in mind! I can't WAIT to dig in- thanks for the inspiration!!!

Now... for your question - my answer is pretty cheesey, but my hubby I feel is like a gift from God. He came into my life during a time when many people were running in the opposite direction, and he hasn't left my side since.

That, and this past valentine's day he gave me a blank card inside and FILLED it with the loveliest words- I tote that card with me everywhere I go!

Anonymous said...

OH NO! I posted w/the WRONG url! I fixed it--- sorry, don't mean to throw the whole contest off. :(

Unknown said...

That monkey card is adorable. My youngest son (7) loves monkies and even tells people that he is a monkey. I will have to scraplift this for him. Thanks for sharing!!

CalleLillyCafe said...

Love those monkeys!

Memorable gift?... Surprise bday party from hubby, hand impression ceramic hangings from my daughters. Love to see those once-so-tiny hands! And a simple note from my sister that has passed. She left dunkin donut munchkins on our front door step w/it.

graceincalifornia said...

wow, well done :) she is one lucky student to receive this adorable set & can that monkey GC holder be any cuter?!

and speaking of memorable gifts, hands down, has to be my surprise bday champagne brunch from hubby at the beach with our children, but most importantly he brought my brother & mom along (both of whom i don't often see) which made it even more unforgettable.

Cropaddict said...

I'm sure you won't find this a typical answer, but the most memorable gift I have ever received is my daughter....she's adopted. We are so thankful for the gift her birth mother bestowed on us.

Tina said...

The sweetest gift I have ever received is a china head doll that belonged to my grandma. She was the only girl in a family of 5 boys and I was the only grand-daughter with 5 grandsons. It is truly precious to me.

Lou said...

A diamond pendant from my husband on our 25 th anniversary because it was such a surprise ( He had already given me what I thought were my gifts, chocolates and perfume). I was very happy!

pattyb said...

In my oldest son's preschool we had a mother's day tea party. At the party they asked the children to write down three things they love about their moms and then read it out loud at the party. My little baby said he thought I was beautiful and it made all the women in the room cry, especially me because I didn't feel beautiful at the time. Best gift ever.

Unknown said...

Most memorable gift...my daughter. Love her! And love your designs

Lynnette said...

Ooohh, your projects are amazing. So clever and wonderful.
The most memorable gift I have received has to be my super capacity front load washer that I got for Mother's Day 2002.

Diana Waite said...

my family--truly a gift from God.

Elizabeth Bracco said...

Great ideas! Any gift I receive from my kids that they made is my favorite. Handmade is always from the heart. :)

Jac said...

I have 2 most memorable gifts -

1. a small sheepskin purse made by my little cousin - I was about 14 he was about 6 - "'cos you'll be a Mum one day."

2. a picture of a face with smile drawn by my 5yr old son - up to then he never drew circles or smiles - he's only 6 now and doing extra well with lots of help.

Kim Dellow said...

Oh wow, this is amazing, I love what youhave made it is just gorgeous. Kim

dclouser said...

Your gift set is amazing! So inspiring. Most memorable gift is a hand made card my husband made for our 7th anniversary (many years ago!). I will never part with it!

Fiona Yeoh said...

flowers from my guy, he's not a flower giving kind of person so i was so surprised and happy he secretly sent me a bouquet at my bday party after 2 years of being together :)

Tonja Trump said...

The most memorable gift I received was my mother's wedding ring set from my husband that she gave to him to propose to me with.

The most memborable gift I got was a photo that my dad made for my wedding. It's so beautiful and I just love it.

Kelly S. said...

HOLY COW, that is one sweet baby gift...LOVE the box! Great job, Maren!

RobinDiane said...

One of the most memorable gifts I received was from my parents when I was 15. I wanted a emerald ring (my birthstone). My parents acted like I wasn't going to get it. My dad wrapped in in a small box then wrapped it in several larger boxes and put rocks in the bigger box so I wouldn't know what it was. I still love that ring today!

Nicole said...

This would have to be a photo from my oldest son when he was 2. His dad helped him create an amazing art piece using a photo and decorated it. I get to look at it everyday since it hangs on our fridge.

kc_froglady said...

That box is amazing! I love it! Great color inspiration also with matching the cover picture.

Favorite gift I ever received is my daughter :)

connie tacazon said...

Love the box you made. It's perfect for little baby goodies.

annesatx said...

When we were dating, my fiance and I didn't have a lot of money, so for my birthday, he gave me a "check". On the check he had promised to give me 24 hours together to do whatever I wanted, I just had to tell him. What a fantastic birthday I ended up having!

Kristen Carll said...

Hi Maren :) This most memorable gift I have received is my daughter. She was born 11 days after my birthday, and is the best gift I could ever ask for. Thank you for the chance!

*Suzy* said...

Having 3 kids, all of the gifts were memorable. As an adult I'd say my spurs. My first Cmas with my guy he gave me a set of spurs. I was so thrilled. My Dad asked me if they were sharp. Me ... well no, they're are rounded. Dad ... good -- that means he really likes you and doesn't want to see you get bucked off the horse!

PamSpradlin said...

I love this gift set. What a wonderful idea to do for someone. My grandmother made me a crocheted cross for my Bible when I was about 10. I still have it in that same Bible.

Debbie Harris said...

My most memorable gifts are my children. And my most memorable crafting gift is my Cuttlebug. These prizes you are offering are awesome thank you for the opportunity to win them.

Daphna said...

Love you project! The most memorable hand made gift I got was a handmade book made with lots of different stamping techniques and photo transfers and stuff it was really cool!

My most memorible gift I ever received was a beautiful diamond necklace my husband gave me for our 20th anniversary. That was the year I finally came to peace on not being able to have children. What he told me with the present was so healing

I've received too many wonderful gifts so I can't choose!

My most memorable gift would have to be a ring of altered tags from my mother when I first moved away from home. She filled it with pick-me-up quotes for when I felt down.

I can't leave a comment without saying that I LOVE the 3-drawer monkey box on your blog. Darling!

And that I have my fingers crossed for a Yudu!

Wow! Love your projects! I have been blessed with so many gifts in my life. A recent memorable physical gift was a bouquet of flower stamps from my sister. It really meant a lot to me that she made such an effort to make me smile. :)

My most memorable gift was a quilt. My aunt knew she was dying and made a quilt for me and gave it to my mom to be given to me for my wedding. I was 11 when she died and 23 when I got married and my mom kept it hidden from me all that time, then wrapped it up for my wedding.

Tina said...

Beautiful ideas! There aren't enough hours in the day to even begin to create them all! I may have to stay up at night! Thank you!

My most memorable gift is a ring that I received from my mother. She passed away. The ring holds a sentimental value to me. It reminds me of all the memorable memories I have with her.

brenda said...

The most memorable gift that I've ever received was when I found out on my Christmas (15 years ago) that I was pregnant with our second child. That was a fantastic Christmas gift!

Unknown said...

the best gift I recieved was "evening off" coupons that I could use and my husband would care for our boys after supper and I would be free to do what I wanted to do

My most memborable gift was a charm bracelet my mom had made for me. Since the day I was born, each time she travelled she would buy a charm from that city. Even if she had been to a particular place many times, she would hunt for a charm that I didn't have. Her plan was to give it to me the day I had my own child since she thought a teenager wouldn't be as appreciative as an adult. The biggest compliment she ever gave me was to present my bracelet to me on the day of my 18th birthday.

First of all your paper crafts are totally fab! As for my most memorable gift, if you are talking paper crafting it would have to be the year that my then fiance' gave me all of the first nestability release. That was a great gift. If your are talking ever, it was my beautiful wedding ring, given by the same great guy!

Marlena said...

The most memorable gift I have ever gotten was a necklace given to me by my mother who got the necklace from my great grandmother and my great grandma told my mom to pass the necklace down to me when I turned 13 years old and I have had it ever since then.

Pam said...

Gorgeous projects!! My most memorable gift would be diamond earrings from my hubby - I've worn them everyday for nearly 10 years.

Erin R said...

My most memorable gift was from my sister, a necklace.

Alex S. said...

The most memorable gift I received was from a 3rd grade student (but I bet it was her mom that made it). She made me a 6x6 scrapbook album already to put in pictures of my daughter with different themes for each page! IT was incredible...and I have to say WAY better than something I would have made!!

Dee Tollaksen said...

Most memorable gift ever? A motorcycle when I turned 15. The best.

What a sweet gift!! Mine was a photo of my two kids ages 18 & 20 at the time of them on Santa's lap! We were moving out of state right after Christmas and it was the most treasured possession we had of them! Still love it just as much today!!

We just recently moved back to the US after living in London for almost 3 years. We lived atop a beautiful hill with a breathtaking view. No matter what the time of day or what the weather, the view was mesmerizing to me. My friends presented me with a frame with 2 pictures of the view. I treasure it along with the hopes that someday I will return to live in that magical place.

The most memorable gift I've ever received was the Mac computer my husband bought for me. It was so thoughtful - he asked the people in the graphic arts department at his company which computer would be best for graphics and ordered one and had it delivered to the house!

Jo said...

All your projects are wonderful! I love the tower the best. Thanks for the chance to win.

FrancineB said...

Hmmm, my most memorable gift...I think that would have to be my first 10-speed bicycle I got for Christmas a long, long time ago. :) I remember wanting a big bike for a long time and I finally got it for Christmas. I can still remember the thrill of walking down the hall and seeing it sitting by the tree.

I LOVE the box you altered! I apologize if you already answered the question, but where did you find the base? Love that monkey.

Sara said...

This is a great giveaway, thanks!

Renee G said...

This is so neat. The best present I received was a scrapbook from my sister last Christmas chronicling the vacation our families took together. It was an awesome gift.

My most memorable gift.....ummm not sure. But, I have a little bracelet my dad gave me for my birthday which is St. Patrick's Day. It has little shamrocks on it and little fake green stones. It is so delicate and dainty but I pull it out each year and wear it! The birthday of the year he died, I told him I still had it and wore it. Of course, we cried. I loved your projects. The card is just the cutest!

My Mum made me a scrapbook album about my childhood. It would have to be the most memorable and the most treasured gift I have ever received.

My DIL would love the cricut! She makes me adorable cards that i treasure

My most memorable gift is a small round rug that hangs in my craft room. It is made out of narrow strips of material tied end to end and then finger crocheted in a spiral pattern. It was made for me by my maternal grandmother right after I was born, 1957. She loved to crochet. I never got to know her, she died when I was two. My mother gave it to me when I had my daughter in 1984. I had remembered seeing it but did not know the story behind it until then. This past Friday I turned 52 and reflected on how quickly time passes and how little things mean so much. My daughter is getting married in July and I plan to give it to her when she has her first child in a few years.

I love the color combo of your gift. The most memorable gift I have received was the first gift my husband gave me when we first began dating. It was a tool box with tools to help fix the odds and ends at my house.

Heidi E. said...

Wow.. I love the color combo.. Such cute projects..

Thanks for sharing..♥

The most memorable gift I received was this handmade gift from my Daughter when she was 3. It was of her little tiny hand in plaster..

Love the little plastic brads (don't know the name).

What a great giveaway. Here's hoping the Yudo comes this way!

Brenda said...

I think my most memorable gifts are the ones I've received "just because". Like a bouquet of flowers from my husband with a sweet note attached for no other reason than he loves me and wanted to brighten my day. Those kinds of gifts beat out the ones people buy because it's expected of them.

Krista B. said...

I love your adorable monkey card:) The best gift I ever received was surprise concert tickets from my hubby :)
