I actually managed to finish the gifts for the family in time for Christmas! Now they have all been received I can share some of the things that I made :)
A pair of wine bottle lamps for Rita with personalized labels...
An embellished purse for Eileen...
A personalized advent calendar house for Jen, Rich and Mya...
Inspired by the fabulous Etta - "Curious Specimen" ornaments of Gregory and Declan...
And a personalized family wall hanging for Pete and family made from their favorite words and colors...
The responses were so great - I felt like a million dollars! It was really difficult to get them all done in time since we moved house and I started a new job after I had gotten started...but I'm so glad I stuck it out. Think I'll do it again next year. I may need to get started now ;)

Awesome gifts! It can be a bit stressful trying to get handmade things done in time but so worth it when you get to see friends and family enjoy them. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Hugs!
