🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Friday Fun | Friends & Handmade Memories

[Jodie]

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday!

Friends are such a special part of our lives. Some friends grow up with us, some meet us along the way, and some become like family over time. A good friend can share our happy moments, support us during difficult days, and make ordinary moments feel meaningful.

Friendship can also be a beautiful source of craft inspiration. Maybe you’ve made a special gift for a friend, received a handmade item from someone close to you, or created something together that became a lovely memory.

Let’s share together!

Share anything you like, such as:

• Who is a special friend in your life?
• What makes this friendship meaningful to you?
• Have you ever received a handmade gift from a friend?
• Have you ever made a special craft or personalized gift for a friend?
• What kind of handmade gift would you love to create for your best friend?

It could be a custom tumbler, shirt, card, keychain, bag, home decor piece, sticker, photo frame, or anything made with love. Photos and stories are both welcome, we’d love to hear your friendship memories!

Reward:

Everyone who joins earns 30 Cheers

1 lucky participant will receive a small material gift: Permanent Adhesive Vinyl Sheet -12"x12" 7 Pack.

If we reach 30 participants, we’ll pick 2 lucky participants to receive surprise material gifts!

We can’t wait to hear your friendship stories and see the handmade gifts that carry your love and memories!

My bestie is Liz T. She’s special because we can always chat.

My bestfriend erin is one of the only people I can trust with everything. she has proven time and time again that she has my back and she lets me be myself without it feeling weird. I hope to one day send her a package full of handmade gifts because I appreciate her so much and want her to know how special she is to me

My best friend from high school we always start talking like there are never any breaks in our time! But, we both have families so we don’t always get to talk ! I love this girl so much and she gave me a hand knitted blanket that her and her grandmother worked on together it something I cherished, unfortunately during my life choices of my past it was stolen ! And I’ll forever remember the hurt I felt loosing that but she wasn’t mad she understood and unfortunately that’s life sometimes!

Craft wise my friends kids have painted me special things the one was my flower girl in 2014 she made me a beauty and the breath canvas. My other friend candy crafting is something we had done a lot together she is 3.5 hours away up when I had first gotten my sublimation stuff set up we made cups together she came and made things wit my laser engraver ladt year too but we do craft video chats. I have done craft video chats with a few friends it’s fun but over the years we have made all different things I think it was 2 years ago I ad actually gotten her the auto one press during the prime days in July as a birthday & early Christmas gift for her.

My sister-in-law in Tennessee asked me to make something special for her to give to two very close friends. I engraved these and placed birth stones in the area where they live. I forgot to take pictures before I shipped them out but here’s one displayed on an end table.

My friends fall into three groups: those from the neighborhood, those from the basketball team I played on in high school, and those from college.
I couldn’t possibly list all the gifts and little tokens I’ve made for them. We’ve been friends for many years, and for every celebration—birthdays, weddings, births, and special occasions—I like to give them a gift I’ve made myself.

I met my best friend at a square dance when we were both 21 years old. We immediately became besties. I was an only child and she adopted me as a sister. We have been through so much together for the last 42 years. Her heart broke when my hubby lost his job and we moved from Delaware about 2300 miles to Arizona. That was in 2008. Last year she was able to come and visit me for a week. We had such a great time crafting every day and night. With her working schedule she rarely has time to craft but I have made her gourds, paintings, ornaments, porcelain jewelry, 3d printed things, and so much more. I love my Sis and am so glad to be able to call her that.

I have some special friends. One friend has always been a crafty person. She is so gifted. She has made me some of the most beautiful cards.

I have a group of friends. I make gifts for them from time to time. Here is the most recent soup bowl I made for us.

This is UV DTF. They loved them.

Look like I never hit reply. My post was just sitting there waiting. Shrug
