Sisters' gifts for 2009


Every year on Christmas Eve my sisters and I (and my mother, sisters-in-law, my brother's fiancee, and my sister-in-law's sister) all exchange gifts. Everyone gets the same thing or with little variance. The gift I gave this year was a bar of my soap and a fabric rosette pin.

Previous years of handmade sisters' gifts:

2008 - snowman towels and soap
2007 - zippered pouches and soap
2006 - family cookbooks and tissue pouches and soap
2005 - "home is where the heart is" embroidered, framed plaque (not blogged)
2004 - can't remember
2003 - can't remember
2002 - "sisters are forever" embroidered pillow (not blogged) which was the Christmas after Kristen died.
2001 - homemade glycerin soap and bath salts.
