    You are such a loving and giving person. You are a great example for your children. As a teacher for 30 years I can definitely say that the notes from your boys will be a heartwarming way for them to start their holiday break. I have kept many of those special notes over the years to reread. Happy holidays to you and your sweet family!

    @ionecuff6323 Před 6 měsíci

    OMG!! You are such a talented person! What great ideas to make gift baskets and each has its own theme! Yes, I was "brought up in a cave." I had never heard of anything like this. Everything turned out so cute and beautiful! You are so blessed to have such a natural gift to make everything look so beautiful! I know everyone will really love the gifts you have made them. I like that you include a "family game night" basket. Far too many family don't do things like that anymore and your gift could start a new tradition for a family. Thank you for teaching this old lady something new and sharing your beautiful family and life in BEAUTIFUL ALASKA!

    Hi Lauren, what fun projects! I especially loved the teacher gift bags with the adorable gingerbread house designs! And, Everett’s special design was really great, too, and I hope his teacher will realize how much he cared to make it wonderful for her! Such sweet boys! The days just fly by and I am amazed by all the people who got their cards done and delivered already! Mine will finally get to the post office tomorrow so it may not make it on time, but I still wanted to send it. Hope you all all enjoying the magic of the season as much as possible. ❤️
