Midge says of her holiday crafts: “Every year, we cut out a snowflake and sign and date it on the back. Everyone here – grandparents, friends, significant others – has made one over the past 16 years, especially me. I love the scene where someone was too small to use scissors so they drew in the hole (!!!).”
Amanda says of holiday crafts: “If someone is looking for a craft-inspired gift idea, we make cards with fill-in-the-blank surveys and kids love decorating them. We’ve made them for grandma and grandpa. But it’s always a hit.For Father’s Day, the card asked, “What’s your favorite thing to do?” Then the son answered, “Please sit with me.” It still brings tears to my eyes! ”
Duchess Meghan talks about the 12 gifts she gave her beloved wife. “My father-in-law sent me a really nice wish list for Christmas, and it included the words, “Everyone should recite a poem (preferably by memorization).” It might make you cry. I don’t know. So I thought I’d share my own non-physical Christmas wish list. That means time and space to read, making my little apartment cozy with groceries and free decorations, and everyone buying ingredients for a feast at the farmers market. ”
