This past weekend I celebrated family Christmas with my Oma (grandmother), aunts, uncles and cousins' on my mum's side. Wanting to give Oma a gift but unsure what to give her as she has most thing she wants/needs, I gave her a bundle of handmade cards. I figured who can't use handmade cards...
I decided to make the cards packaging look pretty but with limited time (when I left it to the last minute), I settled on using a brown paper bag from the supermarket and a pile of goodies leftover on my desk.
The cards were a hit! She had used all the ones I had given her a year or two ago. I think this will be an annual gift (along with an updated photo of my crew as Oma has a lovely photo wall).
