Hand Made gifts at Christmas

Morning everyone and Happy Christmas to you from us all.  I hope you had a truly festive time with your loved ones.  Sadly my little sis and uncle were both in hospital over the Christmas period, so Annie and Uncle Russ, we're sending you both all our love and get well soon wishes. 
Each of the kiddy winkies had a hand made gift in with their presents this year. Sophie had a sewing Kit for her new house, Harry had Othello to take back to Uni with him and Oliver had his Compendium of Games with a special little note inside from Mum.  I was really overwhelmed to see tears in his eyes when he opened it.  There really is something very special about giving hand made gifts as presents.  
I used my Mini Games Box Kit minus the boards and one divider for Sophie's sewing kit going vintage Graphic 45 with papers from the Magic of Oz collection. The Dorothy, Toto and 'There's no place like home' picture was just perfect for the lid. 
 The full Mini Games Box Kit for Harry's Othello - altered in papers from the Master Detective Collection by G45.
and here's the same kit altered in papers from the Fairie Dust collection.  There kit comes with instructions on how to assemble the box, make the game and how to play too - thanks to Auntie Annie who wrote the instructions💗💗💗💗.  

And last but not least I used the Compendium of Games Kit for Oli's mahusive box of games.

 After wiping the floor with me during a very quick game, Harry sat down with Oli for a very long and tactical game of chess, and eventually beat him too.

Definitely a picture to scrapbook for their albums......... xx
