I was having dinner and drinks with some people from my class last night and the subject turned to buying gifts.

I luckily do not come from a big family. I only have my parents. No neices and nephews. I only exchange with a couple of friends and I exchange with one aunt who is my best friend.
This particular friend this is her first baby and she had been trying for YEARS to have him, so yeah it was very special for me to make it for her, and plus the firsts of a babies life are so dear. First christmas, first easter, first trip, first haircut, she captured all those and sent me the pics and I picked the best ones and made this album and ended it with his first birthday party. Put a nice little dedication page to her from me. It was really beautiful. Obviously normally she gets not nearly that much money spent on her. Probably more in the 20 dollar range. But it was her first baby, and after trying for nearly 8 years and two husbands I have been there by her side through it all. You know???
I like you made gifts for people this year too. I made for the men spiced pecans and the women lemon/dill vinegar. Most people liked it and thought it was thoughtful. Those that didn't. Eh whatever. You can't please everyone.
Smile,
Deirdre
