Thanks to You...

For all you do for me, all you mean to me...thank you!

Communicating to others our thanks can often be just a simple statement of thank you or perhaps a thank you card. Often we find that is not sufficient to truly show our appreciation for to others. We crafters strive to find unique and personal ways to show our gratification through handmade gifts.

Creating a thoughtful and special gift not only provides a special feeling to the receiver...but equally to the giver.

We're sharing some unique ways to offer thanks that we think both the receiver and giver would be pleased to accept and give.




Thank You Bucket
Designer: Christine Ousley

Abbey Road Vine, Michelle Rub-ons, Abbey Road Combo Sticker, Abbey Flowers, Abbey Road Buttons

Designer Tip: This sweet container is perfect to fill with cookies, candy, sugar free treats...all sorts of items that can be given as a thank you!





Thankful Box
Designer: Tonya Dirk

Gypsy Curry, Gypsy Spice, Gypsy Buttons & Bling, Gypsy Flowers, Sunburst Stamp, Gypsy iCandy Jewels, Double Dot Orange Citrus & Buttercup ribbon

Designer Info: This is a recycled box. I decided to turn it into a "Thankful Box" and inside it has a bunch of scrolls. Each one has something that I am thankful for about my husband. Life goes on everyday and I just don't say thanks to him enough! I am planning on giving it to him on Thanksgiving. Also, all of the stamping (except the stamping on the transparency) has been heat embossed, unfortunately that doesn't show in the photos.




Mixed With Love - Brownie Mix Jar
Designer: Juliana Michaels

Kitchen Spice Allspice, Kitchen Spice Sesame, Kitchen Spice Cloves, Kitchen Recipe Card Cut Outs, Lovin' From the Oven Stickers, Double Dot Cardstock Chocolate Dot, Double Dot Cardstock Wildberry Dot, Double Dot Ribbon Chocolate

Designer Tip: I used the Mixed with Love sticker as is, however I was inspired by the heart and saying on the Lovin' From the Oven sticker. I recreated my own version in a circle scalloped shape to coordinate with the Mixed with Love sticker. Details on how to create this and the recipe are on my blog.





Gift Card Set
Designer: Robyn Weatherspoon

Persuasion My Sweet paper, Persuasion Stripe paper, Persuasion Flowers, Cherished Stamps, Stamp and Store Journal Stamps



We're sure you would agree...these gifts would be wonderful not only to give but also to receive!!

And we wanted to share the winner for our 2 Page Sketch Challenge...
