**As a side note. For my birthday a friend of mine put together a playlist on iTunes of her favorite songs, paid for them and then gave me the download code. It was so thoughtful. My sister did a similar thing and made me a cd of her favorite running songs to get me motivated. My mom used her talents to sew new cushions for our rocking chair, pictures of that coming soon.
Anyway, I did make this gift for my sister. It is a journal of sorts. It's a box with labeled months. Behind each month is a number of lined slips of paper for recording daily activities, funny moments, short little thoughts, children's milestones, etc. I liked the idea so much I started recording my own little entries. Now I just need to make myself a box.
These were more of those crystal light/wylers containers that seem to be multiplying around here. I just mod-podged wrapping paper on them for some V-day treats.
This was not my idea. I learned how to make these here. I made a few for my sister-in-law's birthday. (Ignore the tacky yellow t-shirt. I was too lazy to change for my photo.)
Cheers to thoughtful/homemade gift giving!
