Creative Christmas Gifts

My creative juice is not yet back but I am really trying hard to get the groove back in my arts and craft projects especially now that it is the "ber" month. That means, Christmas is just around the corner. That means too, I have to start making my Christmas list as we are spending the holidays back home.

I want to be creative this time with my gifts. Last time we bought things that are a necessity to the recipient. I am thinking of making accessories like necklaces and bracelets to my female relatives and friends. I can check bead suppliers here in Dubai for some nice, chic and funky beads and I can probably start working on the project.

If the accessories does not materialize, I am still thinking of getting personalized items to my family and friends. It will be an interesting Christmas gift list this year. I wonder if I can finish all that I plan to do before we go home.

Crafting Stuff

I was invited by a friend to her daughter's open school day where I can showcase my handmade cards. My friend rented a booth for her paintings and other ceramic arts which she plans to sell. I feel honored to be a part of her activity this February. So, I am having double-time in making cards I can sell in the open school day.

I want to craft some beaded accessories too but I need to have more materials like curb chain, beads, findings and clasps and hooks. I only have few beads here and nylon cords but I don't think those will be enough to make a decent set of necklace and earrings.

I only have a week left to make a lot goods to be sold. I don't want to compromise on the quality of my handmade cards so I may just settle for few but really high-quality handmade cards.
