Creating a Gift is Joyful!

I had the privilege of attending a baby shower for a girlfriend of one of my daughters.
The baby is a boy and she is naming him "Jack", a name I am very fond of.
(My father's name was Jack)

I always try to give a little something that I hand make...
... my way of adding a personal touch to gift giving.

As all of you crafters know...there is just something special about receiving a present that exudes the love, time and thought that went into it.

So I made this for dear little Jack!

    That is the cat's pajamas. Jack is going to love it and he will also learn how to spell his name. Too, too cute!

    That is so cute! Baseball and rockets and puppy dogs and football ... that's what little boys are made of.

    Oh so beyond CUTE and I like the name Jack, too!!! As is your blog! I was just reading the S&H Green Stamps post - HILARIOUS! I remember doing that all the time - even the gas station gave them out. Remember when the Brady Bunch got a new TV with all their stamps?? Have a good one ~ ♥
