Special Gift

that's neat, I have a jewelry box that my dad made me along time ago. he made it out of paint stir sticks. I keep it in my room.

When someone gives you something that has special meaning to you it well alway take a special place. I have a small Christmas Ornament that was given to me by a friend who I worked with. She made and sold crafts and I was admiring one and she gave it to me. Each year it gets placed front and center on the Christmas tree.

That ashtray is so cute, it is something different and unique, I really like it and especially the colors too.

My granddaughter made me a banner when she was about 2 or 3....with her handprints on it...and is says I love you grammy! It hangs in my guest bedroom that will someday soon become my office.....I will never get rid of it!

That's really a creative gift. Yes, I have the things my Goddaughter has made for me, and the presents given to me from students back when I used to teach. Homemade gifts are often the most meaningful.

Hi carolbee, That ashtray looked really nice and very unusual, it is nice to receive unusual gifts like that, my brother in-law made a coffee table when he was young lad in school and when I got married to his brothet he gave it to us as a wedding present as he couldn't afford to buy us anything, but that coffee table is the only thing that we treasure and its by my side right now.

Its really cute. I don't have crafty friends or family member so I don't have any.

hello carolbee what a lovely treasure that you have there. and i do not blame you one bit for not wanting to use that as a regular ashtray either. and no, to answer your question about do i have a craft that somebody has made for me before like that? no i do not. lol but i used to cross-stitch and i do have several of my cross stitch pictures haning throughout my house. so i guess that i treasure those pictures that i made in the past. thanks for sharing the beautiful photograph of your bowling ashtray with us all here at Mylot. have a beautiful day today!
