I am making Niamh a princess scrapbook for Christmas. I started it last night. The cover needs to be finished still-- it won't stay like that:). But I think when it is done, she'll love it. I'm gonna fill it with funny princess rules and digis and loveliness:). Sayings and sweet things to make her smile.
Do you give handmade gifts for presents? Any planned for Christmas??
I love handmade goodness!
By the way, that digi will be in my princess-themed release this Thursday!
Her name is Peanelope.
I will share more of my princess book as it is completed...Maybe do a tutorial so you can make your own:). Now back to my desk to finish a couple more pages...:)
Hope your weekend was wonderful!

Oh my, so stink in cute!!! Love this idea, your style and humor! I think I need to copy this idea! Can't wait to see the new digis!! :-)
ReplyDeleteyour paper crafts are some of my faves in blog world, lady! love this one and the adorable drawing/quote!
ReplyDeletep.s. THANK YOU for the sweetest package that i received in the mail the other day! i was so gidy over it - and so was my sister! thanks so much!
It's GORGEOUS... that book will be a treasure I am sure! She will adore it!! your Peanelope image is too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! I'm making my Mom and Grammer some crochet socks and my Mother-in-law a paper bag mini for her to keep her Christmas pictures in.
ReplyDeleteoh, this is lovely! look forward to seeing more Krista - I have a princess of my own who would love one of these!! would love a tutorial so I can smash-lift these :)
ReplyDeleteI do love Peanelope, she's adorable! I love to make handmade gifts and give them when I can. I'm going with recipe books this year for family members, using family recipes and a few favorites that I always seem to use. My new grandson is getting a baby book with empty pages for his parents to fill up (it's actually for his parents, but hope he enjoys it as he grows). I'm sure Niamh is going to just love her princess scrapbook, I already do with what little I've seen of it!

Aww what a sweet mama.. crafting all this fun for Niamh! Gosh, it would take me a day to just design one page like that. Funny thing about the name Peanelope.. I always read it/say it like it rhymes with Cantelope.. and then catch myself. Much like Photo-grapher, Magic-Can, Epi-Phone, these all throw me. Ok, going to stop rambling! lol.
ReplyDeleteI, of course, LOVE handmade... and am currently burning my chubby digits to the bone with this cursed glue gun tonight!!
This is hardcore d.i.y/upcycling/crafting week at the blog consequently!

That's adorable. She'll love it. I love handmade gifts, but I'm not very good at making them.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a bunch of Saturated Canary images to make autograph books for our trip to Disney in January. Love your book!
ReplyDeleteJen
This is just too cute. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are awesome. And this little princess is so cute. This scrapbook is such a fun idea. Please do the tutorial :) It'd make for a great Christmas present for sure! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet idea. I worked on a mini desk calendar for 2013, will share it soon. Thanks for the sneak peek and can't wait to see the tutorial.

What a great mom you are. Niamh is going to treasure this gift forever. I make most gifts, I think they're more personal. Love Peanelope.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and book. I have been making calendars the last few years and will again this year. I also like baking for gifts.
ReplyDeleteLove the new digi <3 I will have to grab her on Thursday.
What a great idea. Just love it Krista. Niamh will love and treasure it I'm sure. Looking forward to Thursday. Hugs Nina
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant stamp and one beautiful book definitely a treasure to keep forever. Your daughter must be so proud of you and happy to have such a caring and thoughtful mum.You are a an inspiration to mother's and I love to visit your site regularly . ...hope you all have a great week ..enjoy x
ReplyDeleteThis year I am trying to do all handmade gifts..... I'm beginning to wonder if I over dedicated myself!
ReplyDeleteOohhhhh...I've got 3 wee princesses-in-training DGDs and this is a fabulous idea. LOVE Peanelope and can't wait to see the others.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - this is a beautiful gift which will be remembered for many years to come.....you are so talented...I just love to follow all your great ideas. I am making lots of christmas cards at the moment....I always fall behind ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and week ahead of you.
Pialine

oh my golly gosh!!
ReplyDeleteI love this Krista! and the new image is gorgeous too!

Most of my Christmas gifts are handmade...I am 55 years old, and the BEST Christmas gift I ever received from my Momma was a turtle she made with my 4-H leader! To this day, it bring tears to my eyes that my Momma would take the time to make me something with her own two hands! I am the eldest of 9, so she had pretty busy hands all the time! Your book is lovely...as are you and your children. TFS!
ReplyDeleteNiamh is just going to love this one. It´s sooooo beautiful and awesome made. I loves to get handmade gifts more than anything and I often give handmade gifts too. You can always make a gift much more personal this way and fit exactly to the reciever then, and hopefully it makes them feel much more special. I know my 2 youngest granddaughters would be very disappointed, if they didn´t get something special from me on their birthdays, that´s for sure.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous digi. Love the book. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a great gift and simply adorable, I'm sure it will be one of her favorites!
ReplyDeleteOh your daughter is going to love it, I like the way youve put things into it that she has to think about, its so her. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
ReplyDeleteFABULOUSNESS!!! Yes I DO give handmade gifts most every year!!! Love love this idea!! She will too! So much fun and goodness!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift, its beautiful, i wish i had one! Im making a box of handmade cards as a gift for one of my friends, so i hope they like them!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Thursday! Super idea - my trouble is I craft for this one craft fair I've been doing. The only one I do, but then I have no time for me to just craft so I miss out making gifts. The fair was on Saturday and I did well; sold the most I ever have, but physically it was too much so I've decided to not do it again and now craft for me! So I'm hoping to start making gifts for people, I have so many ideas so I'm looking forward to bring them alive instead of worrying about making things to sell at the fair! Take care lovely Zo xx
ReplyDeleteThat is the most beautiful gift to give your baby girl!
ReplyDeleteHandmade gifts are the best, the thought and love put into them are priceless.
She is going to love this!!
You always inspire us(:
It's fab Krista, Niamh is going to adore it, what a sweet idea. The new image is just delightful too.
ReplyDeleteMel :o)
Beautiful! She will treasure it always! Looking forward to the release!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Krista....I love it!!
ReplyDeleteYou're funny! I love this stamp!!! I was just internet surfing yesterday to get some crafty xmas gift ideas!! Got some pretty good ideas....
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. Niamh is going to love it. I hope she cherishes it forever! I totally do handmade every year. Sock monkeys, jewelery, tutus, etc. The kids love it and I feel better when I give them something with their gift cards :) So far this year I have made a recipe box holder and a card box holder stuffed with cards. I think I may make some monster hats for my boys..not sure about my daughter yet. I may just have to case this idea ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Krista..handmade goodness is the best, it's a wonderful piece of art for you daughter! Ruby x
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!! x
ReplyDeleteAwesome scrapbook! Can't WAIT for your new release!!! Whoopeee!!!

ReplyDeleteThis looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm making a Christmas journal for my mom. I love crafting and handmade gifts!
What an enchanting creation! Niamh is going to love it! I make cards and bake, but I'm not so good at the handmade gifts. I think I need to rethink that position after seeing how darling this is! Can't wait to see more pages and to get my crafty little hands on Peanelope! She's so cute!

I'm so jealous!! I wish I could have my very own Princess book! I love princesses, and I have the sweetest little 1 year old prince. I don't think my hubby will let me make him anything with princesses, so I'll just have to make one for myself!! I CANNOT wait for Thursday when I can get all your new creations! I'm in love with them already. Please do keep us updated on the progress of this beautiful gift, and I too would love a tutorial or two! *smooches* Jenn
ReplyDeleteooo super smash book niamh is going to love it and what a lucky girlie she is to have such a super christmas present ... thank you for introducing Peanelope ... and thank you for reminding me about the story about the pea in the princess book I must tell it to my lovely granddaughter gracie ... happy crafting and love sandy xx
ReplyDeleteNo matter who wins and no matter who you voted for, I still love you girl!!!
ReplyDeleteLook for a little package in the mail real soon.
Us Boston peeps are use to loss these days...the Patriots lost the Super Bowl...the Red Sox lose year and year again...but I will always love my President!!
But life is real and right now my babygirl is asking me to please play her some CHRISTMAS MUSIC, so I shall, because she is my world and my kids are what keep me going everyday of my life.
God Bless You XOXOXO
lovely smash pages and gorgeous pastel colors.
ReplyDeleteLuanne
