prariegurl Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Tomorrow is the office Christmas party. I drew the name of my miniature buddy, Crystal, for the Secret Santa exchange. She is doing an Edwardian/Eastlake style house in pastels, so I wanted things to go along with that theme. She has decorated a nursery with some Peter Rabbit wallpaper that I gave her from my stash, She wanted a blue nursery because she has a little boy and loves decorating for boys. I bought the Anne of Green Gables books for her at Philadelphia Miniaturia. It used all of my $10 gift limit, but didn't look like much. So I found some crochet thread left over from another project and a knitting pattern that I had not had a chance to use. Since I used things on hand. I stayed within the spending limit (a big deal with this crowd). The gift exchange is tomorrow. Wish me luck! It's always nerve wracking when you give something you made. It's like waiting to see if they love or are disappointed in a little piece of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prariegurl Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 LOL. I just realized that the books are upside down in the photo. (places right hand over heart and raises left hand) I swear that from now on, I will not handle anything mini without my glasses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think it's great! She is a friend, and you know what she likes and what she is doing. I think you've made a very personal thing for her, and she is going to love it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathi17 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 As everyone else said, it's perfect! I would be very happy with a gift like that fitting a theme I had. She knows about miniatures and their prices, and she definitely will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 She will see thru your hardwork (my eyes would demand double time and a half) and stealth mini shopping..that you really did think of her. You did good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You did a wonderful job so stop worrying. The books are cute too. PS If she doesn't like it, I can send you my address and I will be happy to take it off her hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Fab gift! Beautiful, dainty, and adorable! What more could she want?! You did good! Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess11 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I think it's just wonderful. No one other than my hubby ever gives me anything in miniatures, so I think it would be such a treat to get a present like that. Don't worry a bit- your present will probably be her favorite of the whole season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 She's going to be thrilled with them - you did a beautiful job on the baby outfit, and the books look wonderful, too. She's very lucky to have a mini friend like you - and how fortunate that you drew her name! I wonder who drew yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
