Whatcha Get?
I love asking people what their favorite present was over the holidays. Yes its OK. You can say something was your favorite. We got lots of beautiful (oil print of Jesus I have wanted for years), very badly needed (set of new pots and pans), and fun (the Wii) presents.
But my favorite? Well, that would be something my mother should have, from an outside view, handed to my daughters. But she handed it to ME because she’s my mama and knows me.
She made a “Forest Friend” box that I clearly will NOT admit to playing with by myself when my kids have wandered away. Isn’t it beautiful?
Sleeping bags for the forest friends (which, by the way, are my old wooden toys my Grandpa made for me), butterflies in a box, apples to munch on, stools to sit on, a river to play in, mirrors on the wall and twig framed pictures of relatives.
Oh my, can you tell THIS would be my favorite present?
Well it was. There, I said it. What was yours?

That is the most adorable present ever. I love things like that– handmade and absolutely perfectly fit for the recipient. You’ve got a great mom!
That is a wonderful gift and totally perfect for you! My favorite gift was probably a gift card for cooking classes at Thanksgiving Point. That was a total surprise! (Are you going to come with me?)
My mother knows that I loved Vincent Price and some of the cheesy old movies and so she found a copy of The House on Haunted Hill for a dollar. Made my holiday! It goes to show that it isn’t about the cost of things but the thought.
Cute and creative! The best gifts are those given with a lot of thought. Nice job Sharon!
That is so cute do your girls love it too? Girls seem to like more intricate and delicate items like that. I know my boys would have taken something like that apart in minutes to see how it worked.
How pretty!
My favorite is a sprout kit my mom got me. I can now grow my own sprouts! G can make pad thai with fresh veggies for it! yay!
You beat me on the post! So look at how I put this box together on my site!
This is TOTALLY you, Vanessa!! So sweet of your mom; it’s just lovely!
this box I must see.
