She is an old friend I have known since we arrived in Queensland, our kids grew up together and we were pregnant at the same time with our second one's.
I wanted to give her something special that I had hand made especially for her.
I saw this U-tube video on how to make 'The Tree of life' and loved it straight away, it didn't take long to make and I thought that the name was appropiate for a birthday present.
On her card I wrote something about being 40 and just starting life as it were.
All wrapped up in tissue paper and silver sparkly thread!
"The Tree of Life"
She LOVED it! :)
This has been one of the first presents I have ever made for friends, and it felt so good to give something made by hand. Don't get me wrong I have made things for family all the time, especially mum, we're always swaping stuff we have made, sometimes I need to steal stuff back as she always takes my earings! Giggle - giggle!!!
Do you make things to give as gifts?
I love receiving hand made things people have made, there is something so loving and warm about the gift, it comes from their heart. I have kept every drawing and hand made thing the kids have made, which is a lot! :0

Which brings me to another question, Valentine's Day, is coming soon. I have been thinking about making cards for friends to send in the mail! Is anyone else making things for Valentine's Day?
Happy creating for the weekend, Angie ox.
P.S. I just want to thank you all for making me feel so very welcome and part of this wonderful family we have created. (((((Hugs!))))
