Having no money shouldn't stop us from giving to others. Last Christmas, I stretched my creativity and used my skills to be able to give gifts with minimal cash out. Using the materials I collected through the years, I gave my friends little presents that were done by the hands of yours truly.I gave my girl friends a pair of crocheted brooch and hair accessory (the ones in zip lock on the picture). To make them more personal, I made them in my friends' favorite colors. =) For extra close friends and nieces, I added a matching butterfly cellphone charm. As for my mom, I made a girlie-girlie cream poncho. =P You can even see the flower accent on the photo.
Of course, I can't give my guy friends crocheted flowers, so I made them a personalized felt bookmark with their names stitched on it. I just forgot to take photos. =(
As for a friend of mine who left for her PhD studies, I personalized a laptop sleeve by stitching a picture frame on it. I also prepared mosaic collection of photos that she can put there.

And for myself, I made a small pink bag with big light pink button! Hehe.. But since it's too girlie-girlie, I've used it only once. =P
Until now, I see some of my friends using what I made. It makes me feel happy. =)

Ang tiyaga mo talaga! :) You know, you can make a business out of it for extra cash (referring to your previous post :)). A friend of mine like to make customized jewelries and now she sells them on the Internet. Mukhang mabenta naman especially for her American clients.
Hehe.. am thinking nga eh.. kasi passion ko naman magbutingting. =P kaso mejo time-consuming, at pag ginawa ko biz, baka dun lang maubos oras ko. so di pa siguro, if ever man..
thanks flo! ;-)
Tama si Florence. Sa totoo lng , pede mo tlg tong gawing business. Oorder ako =)
Ang cute naman nung bag! Pwede mo talaga gawing business yan. Funny thing, I was selling bracelets before made from the same material, so if ever you think of turning this into a business meron na agad akong good luck present sa'yo - ung mga materials ko na baka madiscolor lang kasi nakatago na lang! ^_^ Good luck if ever! ^_^
Thanks!
Haha, pag-isipan ko. =P Pero sa ngayon, hindi muna.. dami work eh... kunsabagay kelan ba di naubusan? :(
