I belong to a fellowship and we get together to make items for a non-for-profit organization so that they can raise money to continue to offer their services to people in need. Winning this prize would help us continue this goodwill.

Would love to win one of the prizes. I am a stay at home mom with triplets and find it so hard to have some me time to go to the stores. I do it all here at home — take care of them, laundry, cook, clean…its all about making sure everything runs smoothly…but if I look in the mirror…my gosh…I have abandoned myself…so this would be a sweet gift that will come in good use.

Handmade gifts have been important in my family since I was a kid. Now that I have a child of my own, it’s becoming more and more important to me to keep that going. Handmade is SO much more meaningful that something that was mass-produced!

I would love to win one of these prizes. I spend many evenings crafting so that I might be able to give to others. My husband was transferred to another city and I am waiting for our house to sell (which could be awhile in this market.) Giving to others helps me focus on others instead of missing my husband.

I have been making things since I was a child. My darling grandma taught me to knit , crochet, tat, quill, quilt, make lace, and bake wonderful pastries and cookies. My wonderful mom taught me to cook, sew, paint and encouraged my love of all crafts. By the time I was 11, I was designing and sewing my own clothes. All my nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews have all gotten crocheted afghans at least once.
I am now taking care of my 78 year old mom who has Alzheimers Disease and receiving this craft gift set would mean so much to me, as money is tight and mom and I still share a love of doing things together. Thanks.
Written on November 23, 2010 at 11:45 am, by Rose
I would be interested in winning any of the gift sets because the holiday season is for giving, and because of limited money supply, it makes it difficult to get as much as I’d like for the people I really care about, because there are so many of them (and that’s even just counting family!). If I won any of the gift sets it would give me the opportunity to give more, and that would make my holiday season that much brighter.
Written on November 23, 2010 at 11:07 pm, by Erica

I’m making gifts for all my family, and it is a large one: 9 siblings and their spouses/partners, 12 nieces & nephews, my husband, and his family (that’s 10 more!). This gift collection would help me with the “hard-to-craft-for” individuals.

This was a fun collection to look at! I’ve been swamped with grad school (and working full time) for the last two years. I’ll be done in December and am looking forward to being more “crafty” when I’m done. I’m also not able to even THINK about Christmas gifts until I’m done, so having some great things like these come into my life in a few weeks would be spectacular!

What an awesome assortment of crafty gifts! I would be proud to find just the right recipient for each of them, if I would have the chance! I know a few persons who deeply deserve a special gift but are not likely to receive much this year. I have little myself, but really enjoy giving gifts to those who need and deserve them more than me!

It’s been a long, exhausting year, with the death of a dear family friend in July and the loss of my dad and my husband’s uncle within three days of each other. (This on top of a continued battle with infertility and my husband’s ongoing search for a job where he can actually use his training and earn a steady income.) I’ve found myself in the unexpected position of being the emotional support for both my mom and my brother. So, dad gum it…it might be selfish, but I could do with a bit of spoiling!
