Would have to the New Direction cd for miss15. Then she can put it on iTunes and listen to her hearts content
The best gift I am giving is a Naked eye palette by Urban Decay to my sister! She is going to be really excited!
My best gift this year is an ornament I am giving to my friend's Mom. My friend's grandma died last year and his grandpa died this year. Anyway, it's an ornament that talks about loss and how they are not really gone but are with us forever. I hope she is going to like and it will make her happy.
Thanks for the giveaway.
How pretty! I'm giving my grandma a necklace I made for her.
Thanks for the opportunity to win- the necklaces are SWEET! I didn't make any handmade gifts this year, so it's the usual store bought stuff that I'm totally not enthused about. I love making my gifts and seeing the recipient's face when they realize I made it!
I already gave what will end up being the best Christmas gift. I paid for part of a funeral for one of my patients. His family did not have enough money.... He was a Veteran and he lived with dignity and I wanted to make sure he was remembered with dignity.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

I am planning to give my brother's new girlfriend something special to welcome her into the family. She is a real sweetheart and it took him forever to introduce her. She fit right in :) It'll have to be something sewn and to do with her profession - she's a wedding photographer. Off course I have a bunch of tuts bookmarked - now just to choose one and get going :)
Thank you for aa chance to win one of the necklaces - the "Sprockets" one is amazing.

My best gift this year that I am giving is a wall hanging that I embroidered with snowmen. I think the camera for my daughter will be greatly appreciated also.

At the moment I am excited to introduce my colllege-age international students to Christmas with the silly game of unwrap a gift and keep it or steal from someone else. I got totally ridiculous gifts at Wal-Mart for a dollar each(snowflake headband/penguin glitter body wash/reindeer mug, etc.) Actually, I can't remember anything else I've bought and am just hoping I can find everything I've hidden!!

my gift has been already given....i took my daughter away for a mother/daughter trip to chicago. Gave her $100 to spend as she pleased and she had a blast in the American Girl store. It was so much fun watching her and spending time JUST with her. A very special gift for both of us.

All the designs are beautiful! How clever. :D
I'm most excited about a quilt I'm making for my mom. She doesn't know I'm making it, and I've been slyly getting her feedback on fabric for quite a while, so I think she will be very happy with it!
I am giving away quilts. 3 quilts go to a family of little girls whose mother (a drug addict) left them and her husband about 6 weeks ago. it has been very hard on them but their grand parents are stepping in to help out. I am hoping they will feel the love when they receive these quilts.

ahh I think I'm most excited about the look on my sister's face (12 years) when she gets her fabric made fancy cake cushion - she told me she wants a fancy cake from me "completely and only" for herself - but as they rarely survive long journeys I decided to go for an "artificial" one...

I am excited to give my boys their lego sets and transformer jammies.
The gift I'm most excited to give is a pillow I'm in the midst of making for a friend. In the last year she's lost several family members and I know how important family is to her. I've gone through her online photo album and lifted some photos of them all, have printed them in black and white on to fabric and am patchworking it together.
I know she's going to cry but they'll be tears of joy

I'm just looking forward to my daughter's first Christmas, where everything will be new and exciting. Probably mostly the boxes and paper!
I made aprons for my mom and my sister this year...my mom has been dropping hints like crazy so I decided to surprise her. We don't normally buy gifts for everyone in the family (we draw names) so I'm sure they will be surprised!
The necklaces are beautiful.
I can't wait to give my son his quilt.

Greetings

My daughter is going to FLIP when she sees her new Nintendo DS, but I am MOST excited by a Family Tree of British Rock t-shirt for my 14yo. I had one when I was his age, and he is into all of the good music I liked in high school, so it's a "bonding" present! :)
I love this. Gift I'm giving is a journal to my daughter.
I'm giving my kids the bible edition of Apples to Apples. They saw it in a catalog and were so excited! I love he necklace you have pictured. It reminds me of an owl, and I love owls. Merry Christmas!
