Over the years I have found that the gifts that come across as being the most appreciated by my friends and family, are the gifts I have made myself!

Being an artist, I love to create works of art and give them as gifts during the Christmas season. Mosaics have always been a favourite of mine, followed by homemade fragrant soaps and candles.

When you receive a gift from a person who took the time and energy to create something beautiful for you, it it the most wonderful thing in the world..like the credit card commercial says: "priceless".

So go ahead, make something with your hands and creative energy! It doesn't matter if you make something that is not perfect, what counts is the loving energy you put into your creation. If you want to make some beautiful mosaics to give as gifts for Christmas, read my mosaic articles here!
