Birthday Project - Glass Vase

Today is both my mother’s and a co-worker’s birthday. My co-worker is a super nice woman who is always doing things for others. In fact, I happen to pass her cubicle one day and on her lunch break she was trying to start a crochet project. I stopped and chatted with her and showed her a trick I use to start a chain. We were talking about knit vs. crochet and I shared that I couldn’t knit very well, so I started using knitting looms. I told her about some projects I finished using looms and how much my friends loved the things I’d made them.

My birthday was a few days after that discussion and that morning I found a gift bag on my desk. Inside was a book full of some really neat patterns using looms. That’s the kind of thoughtful person she is.

Another co-worker and I were discussing how our co-worker always does things for people on Christmas and we wanted to do something for her. I shared some ideas of Christmas presents we could make, but then later learned that her birthday was coming up. So I shared this info and we purchased a very nice glass vase and using a set of rub-ons I received from a stampin up mini-catalogue last year, I put together this:



I actually really like how this came out and I’m considering doing something similar for my sister-in-law for Christmas. I also found some clear ornaments and I’m thinking of doing the same to them for a few people.
