Welcome to January and to the Scavenger Photo Hunt from Katie @I live, I love, I craft, I am me.... This month she is giving us a weekly word and this week's word is...
Gifts...
A gift is defined as a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.
I love giving gifts to friends, either something I've made especially for them, or coming across something I think they would like. They're nice to receive too!
Here is just a small sample of things I've made and given to friends.
I made this for a dear friend who was going through breast cancer and was going to have surgery. I placed it on an Altoids tin, decorated the rest of it, and added note paper inside to write on.
I made this for another friend who turned 50 a few years ago, she is known for her "crack" cookies!
I just stitched this ornament for my chosen sister, Cori, she loves nutcrackers! I didn't see any need to include the year, I'm sure it won't be forgotten. 😞
I also like to make scissor fobs and jewelry.
This fob was for an exchange, and the earrings were for the team Moms and cheerleaders when the Gmen played football in high school.
When the mood strikes me, I enjoy making cards. I made these for Valentine's Day last year and included a flavoured tea packet inside. Who doesn't like snail mail with a treat?
This was a fun gift to give my DH. I gave it to him for his birthday in July so he could wear it Christmas Eve while we were watching Christmas Vacation!
I received these goodies from DH for Christmas this past year, he actually wrapped the monthly patterns individually!
Cori and I seem to tag team each other with gifting speciality cupcakes from our favourite bakery, yum! She bought these for us to share in December. Looks like my turn this month, unless she beats me to it!
I also consider my family treasured gifts, as crazy as they can be sometimes!
I hope you've enjoyed my gifts, now I need to go see what the others have posted.
Have you taken a look already or maybe joining in this year?
And as always, thank you for your comments if I can't thank you directly. 🥰

Lovely gifts both given and received. I love the Valentine cards you made, especially the one with the owls on it :)
Your cross stitches are beautiful ... I tried a cross stitch for the first time in ages last year but my eyes weren’t up to the task ... think I might need new glasses. Your cup cakes look fabulous too 😃
What a fun post! I really enjoyed seeing all your gifts - both given and received. Your husband obviously 'gets' you and knows exactly what you like.
This was a fun post Astrid! I am jealous of the cross stitch gifts you get from your husband!!
Wonderful gifts made Astrid, pretty cards and lovely fobs and earrings. A thoughtful DH and yummy cupcakes.
What a fun post Astrid. The gifts were all great.

What a lovely post - both the received and the given gifts, I do love the addition of the facemask on the little soldier cross stitch 🥰
Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing. Hubby did a good job. Those are great picks.
I loved seeing all your "gifty" photos! I didn't know you made jewelry so I learned something new, too.
Lots of cute (and I am sure appreciated) gifts. Love the Griswold shirt! 😊
I am in awe - your stitching is quite beautiful.
Those last two photos are definitely the best gifts! Any of the others would be good for Gifted Gorgeousness this year. Not sure if the cupcakes will survive the journey here though!
