Yikes! So last week I had finals and I didn't post a single thing :P. So I will have to do two this week in order to make up for it.
I realized I might be gearing my suggestions to those who knit (or crochet) and I don't want that to be the case. I also realized I may be gearing my gifts to those who artistically incline (which doesn't have to be the case).
So this week I have a super fun, beautiful and cleaver idea of those who aren't super crafty but still want to give a personal gift.
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you paint by number! If you go to any of your local craft stores you can find these nifty kits that have everything you need to paint by number. The picture on this blog is brought to you by A.C. More's website.
My suggestion is to pick something that you know the receiver loves. This year my brother is doing this for our younger sister so he picked out a beautiful painting of horses by a lake. If your grandmother loves to garden, find her favorite flower or garden scene. If you want to get really frisky you could take your own photo and turn it into a coloring page. Of course that would require to do your own blending and what not, but still it could be fun!
Then to finish off the gift go and get it framed. This step can be pricey but it also can be inexpensive depending on what you want to do with it. I suggest a pretty neutral type frame if you aren't sure what will go with the decor of the receiver. If it's a kid though, you could really go all out.
Happy Painting everyone!
