things I have learned today…
Dec 3rd, 2008 by Sandy
If are you here from the Sew, Mama, Sew! blog, welcome! The loot (aka: giveaway) can be found here.
Today has been a whirl-wind kinda day here for me, so I thought that I would recap what I have learned from this whole giveaway experience:
- People within this crafty little community I have found myself in are wonderful! I have received so many encouraging and warm comments today about my little tree! I can’t wait to show you what I have in store for the fabric. Thank you all so much for stopping by and delurking!
- People really like handmade gifts. Most of the comments about your favorite handmade treasures have been related to the things that you have received as Christmas gifts (I realize this might be because of the time of year and all!). And, I am in awe of all the wonderful stories that were shared today. This really renews my pledge to give a handmade holiday this year. I hope to make something that someone remembers like what has been shared today!
- Nobody here really talked about the fact that they loved something handmade because it was perfect. If you are thinking about trying something crafty, read through the comments and realize it really is the effort and thought that counts. Just give it a shot. It will be perfect to someone else even if you can see the flaws. This is an important thing for me to remember too!
- People really like free stuff! And, I really like giving away what I make, so I definitely am going to do this again!
I like your reflections. The giveaway seems to have grown into it’s own beast (I lovely handmade beast) and it’s nice to read the thoughts of a participant.
Cheers and here here for wonky homemade over storebought!
