Secret Santa- 12/8/09

Our family, this year, is giving gifts Secret Santa style. We each drew names of another family member and (in an attempt to be sensitive to those of us who are financially struggling) are making a handmade gift or offering a service to each other. This can include creating a gift or doing something like cleaning or cooking or babysitting for your fellow family member. I am excited about the person whose name I drew, but will not mention it quite yet in case that person ever reads this blog. Here is a glimpse of part of what I am doing, though- my big project that I began today:

It involves a lot of techniques that I've never done before, but I am teaching myself and feel like I'm picking it up quickly. I can't wait to show you the finished product!
