JANUARY Craft Challenge

Subject: JANUARY Craft Challenge Wed 26 Dec 2007, 4:10 am

Any suggestions for January?
We seemed to skip over December which was fine with me as I had so much else to do... Laughing

BTW, I really think if anyone got any nice jars/containers over the Christmas holidays they should recycle them as '2008 Christmas Treat Jars'. Especially anyone who didn't manage to organize one for this year. I had so much fun with mine and if we start in January we have all year to save...even at $1 per week it'll add up to buy something nice at the end of the year. We can post a weekly reminder to add your nominated amount.

I want to do a jar but have no idea on how to decorate it. We could do a craft for Valentines Day so we can give it to someone as a gift

I like the Valentines day idea ... I like to give Frank something from the heart not Walmart .

A Valentine's craft is a good idea, that way it can be prepared well in time Smile

If anyone else comes across Valentine craft links, please post them. It's nice to have several ideas to choose from Very Happy

I just remembered something I made for my husband two Valentines Days ago....but don't remember if I described it last year....anyway my husband treasures a plaque that friends of his parents made for them when they were married in 1947- "Herb and Lil, in Love Forever" with their wedding date....I did the same thing for Jay but painted it white with red and pink lettering and decorations...I have it on a little shelf in our bedroom and he looks at it often:)

It's lovely that he gets continued enjoyment from that spirit.

Kind of along the same lines I think I've found a gift I'd like to get for DH this year.
I found, on ebay, personalized mugs. You email them a photo which they print on one side and they put a message on the opposite side. You can also get a personalized jigsaw but I reckon the mug would get more use. I might order one soon and hide it until Valentines Day to serve his tea in! Smile

I believe it costs $16 which includes postage costs.

I do like the 'In love forever'...can I poach that??? Laughing

I like the personalized mug idea, not sure what I'll do this year...he is very romantic for a 'guy', lol. And yes please use the plaque idea, Skin...am assuming poach has a meaning other than a way to cook eggs, lol....
