gifts

i have a hard time receiving gifts. i guess i feel like i don't deserve them or something. but people have a hard time shopping for me at Christmas because i won't tell them what i want. so this year my husband went out on a limb and made me something. he is a carpenter so it's not like it's not something he knows how to do.
the kids helped and he told a few people. and they all kept the secret. i was so excited to get it on Christmas morning. and this is it.

he made me a jewerly box! isn't it beautiful? i love it. he is going to make some dividers to go in it so my earrings don't get mixed up with my necklaces. what a great hubby!

That is a beautiful box, Kay. It's got to be a very special gift since it was hand made by your hubby.

What a sweet gift. It seems like those handmade ones always mean so much more. Kudos to the hubs.

That is a GREAT gift!

How sweet to think of something you would want. One of the things my hubby gave me was a Wii game. Hmm. That most definitely was not for me. Bless his heart. But he's been enjoying it ever since!
