This Christmas I was short on funds and decided that I was going to make something handmade for presents this year. I have done this in the past and the presents have always been a hit.

It took me a little while to decide what I was going to make, but finally decided on a nice flower arrangement for each family. To add some personalization I decided to etch the last name initial of each recipient on the glass vase. I found the vases at a wholesale florist supply store online, which helped keep the gifts well within my budget. I like them so much I decided to make one for myself.
