At Make Mine Pink our annual Christmas in July Shop Hop is fast approaching and it has had me thinking about new ideas for the holidays this year. I have had friends and family putting their order in for things they would like me to make for them this year. I have always been a fan of handmade gifts but this year seems like even a better idea than most. Alot of people are under so much stress this year and I myself am being laid off very soon. So I am starting early and giving alot of thought to what special gifts I can make for friends and family this year, start early and do myself a huge favor and avoid the holiday stress before it can even start.
The idea I came up with for my Shop Hop promotion is making these gift boxes that will be free with the purchase of any of my rose jewelry. I have a few short weeks to get some of these made. Keep watching for Shop Hop details. They will be in several colors to choose from. I also made two Fairy Cakes for my Sweet Dream Bakery. these are a smaller version of the cupcake pillows. I am really getting into fairys these days. Maybe its just that its a nice thought that there is a little magic left in the world today:) Until next time....

I love the fairy cakes and we have fairies at the bottom of our garden. In current times a little bit of fantasy can do you some good.
Snap for the Christmas gifts, always start making early, then I unpack in November and this becomes like a shopping trip.
The pink boxes are beautiful too
Hi Gail,
Can’t believe the we are almost in July already, what happened?? As usual all the new things you come up with are adorable, the Gift Box and the new Fairy Cupcakes are as sweet as it can be!!!

I love the Fairy Cakes. I love the idea of fairies and am careful to plant carefully to welcome them to my garden. It is a fun bit of whimsy to enjoy.
The boxes are gorgeous!

Hello Gail,
I could not agree with you more about needing magic in the world. It is there, I know it!
I love the sweet dream bakery idea. Oh ma gosh, how precious is that! The cupcakes are adorable and those who order your necklaces will never ever throw those beautiful boxes away.
Always a pleasure to come visit you. Hope your days is filled with magical surprises.
Cheers! =D

Your handmade is ever so pretty and you are right, when you can, handmade is just extra special. Love the fairies, too! Just put some plaques up with the prettiest fairies on our site. We need a little luck and what better way to have it delivered than by fairy?
Since you are doing smaller versions of cupcakes, will you be doing Christmas ornaments to hang from the tree?
