The art of giving has always been close to my heart.  There is nothing quite like finding the perfect gift.  Choosing the wrapping with care, a ribbon that is cold and soft to the touch and the ideal card, to not only hint at what’s to come, but to compliment it.  To me, the whole process is part of the beauty of giving a gift.  From the tissue, to the ribbon, to the box, it’s all part of the experience of receiving.   There was a reason I was paid, starting at a very young age and stretching to this day, to wrap all of our family’s Christmas gifts; even my own which were marked carefully so that I knew not to peak into the box of the ones that were mine.   Clearly I was also a strict rule follower, but I digress.  The only thing I love more than finding the perfect gift, is making the perfect gift.  It takes time and thought and as you slowly and methodically craft, your mind wanders almost in a meditative state.  You think of the receiver, the times you have shared, your relationship, the joy, the time that has passed and all the many moments spent together.  All of this thought, all of this love, is woven into the gift; not unlike the seamstresses who did the detail work on Princess Diana’s wedding gown wove a strand of her hair into the hem of her gown, you are weaving your love into the gift.  This Sweet Little Ring Bowl is a gift that takes a little tender loving care but is so easy your children could make it.  Take some time to  slow down and make a gift from the heart with this tutorial…
