I had fun making some handmade gifts for my oldest grandchild (out of 11) Ashley who just turned 17! Wasn't she just a baby the other day?
I bought a big "purple" (her favorite color) journal filled with lots of pages. I copied her driver's licence picture and Googled all the other pictures and printed them all out on a heavy card stock. Then went to work decoupaging!
I also had fun mosicing an A for her to put on an easel or hang on her wall. Slipped some $$ in the journal and there I had a perfect gift she loved!
I use to make crafts all the time and it was kinda nice to get in the swing of it again!
I am on a roll now! 
Have a wonderday day!

Hi Maryjane,
I'm so glad to have caught you just posting....I love it. I noticed that you handwrote a note on the book, it's a treasure that she'll never forget. I've got a new grandbaby girl, and I look forward to leaving her treasures that she will love later.
Have a wonderful day....

P.S. I shared your soap recipe with a lot of my homemakers....I'll keep you updated..and a note: I took 2 cups of the solution, put it into a separate container, added Rit color out dye for my whites, works great **do not was colored clothes with that formula***
What a thoughtful idea! And I know what you mean...once you start, you want to keep crafting! And I love getting ideas from blogger friends! Thanks!
Dear MaryJane,
Love your blog and your lovely things.
I am currently taking a time out from toooooo much creating, while I am the mission president's wife in Cincinnati.
Your wonderful blog nourishes the soul. Thank you.

So adorable - nice job!
What a wonderful, creative grandma you are!! I really enjoy seeing the finished projects. I like the "A" done in moszic. Very nice job!!
Hi Maryjane, Your A came out so nice! I love the color china pieces you used! I also love the journal, I am sure Ashley will love it all too especially because Grandma made it! I have been doing crafts too, I made some really cute pillow cases for the grandkids. I got a new serger and I am loving it!
Miss you! (Come over and play with me in the craft room!)

Hello,
I have been wanting to mosaic a letter for my daughter but I am not having any luck in finding the heart piece. I live in the Inland Empire in California. Do you have a source you could direct me to for this?
What a thoughtful gift you have created. She will be so pleased.
Happy day,
Lynnette
OH, look at those purple-licious and pink projects! Love them all. You are multi-talented.
So fun! You'll have to do a tutorial on the mosaic - I'd love to try that.
Hello Maryjane,
I absolutely adore this craft~ I just happened by your blog from Warm Pie Happy Home and had to visit. I will be back!
Take care!
