Oh Shelby, I wondered if I would ever figure out which of you mystery moulds you were collecting treasure for when I ran into you in the op shop. ❤ It was pretty exciting for me to bump into you out in the wild.

[@ShelbySherritt]

AHHH You are here!! Thank you so much for saying hello! It was lovely to meet you! I should have mentioned in the op-shop that it was going to be a while until I released the video! Thank you so much for watching it I am so glad you saw it!

[@beverleytetrick1301]

Shelby in the wild. Love the idea of that - lol. That must have been a fun meeting. ❤

[@elizabethwelner5550]

After they have been through the kiln, you could paint the centers with chalkboard paint, so you can reuse them over and over for your market. What a cute find!!

[@christinamcallister3791]

I thought the same thing. And, that they could be used at parties for seating.

[@drwoo6090]

What a great idea! 😊

[@minna4285]

Or just use chalk markers on the glazed ceramic

[@sheraaa9169]

Great idea

[@rebeccamcgraw6594]

That is what I came here to say too. I would love to have a few with chalk paint.

[@amiemarieart]

Best gift ever- (story of karma) I tried sewing quilts once- turns out sewing isn't my thing lol, I donated all of my material to a local op shop (material included a mix of materials that all had meaning to me, I.e kids uniforms, old blankets, mums left over materials ect) about 6mths later my house burnt down and the local church donated a quilt to me that they had made- it was made completely of the materials I had donated!! (They didn't know ot was my material, just complete luck) considering I lost everything in that fire- I now had a blanket made of things that I had gifted. 10yrs later I still have it on my bed ❤

[@karenneill9109]

Well that’s an amazing story! Gave me goosebumps!

[@jody-annesullivan4547]

I am so sorry for the loss of your home, but how awesome & beautiful these other meaningful items came back to you in the form you had saved them for! I imagine it is a treasure to you, xx

[@cherylhuot4436]

What a treasure! Gods hand was definitely there.

[@amiemarieart]

@@karenneill9109 it really is, even now, I look at all the little piece's of Material and I can recognise what they were from etc...

[@amiemarieart]

@@jody-annesullivan4547 thankyou, it was a long time ago. It's amazing how of all the blankets they have made, this particular one came to me.. it's incredible, but I'm soooo Grateful 🙏

[@emilyhunter666]

My favourite gift is a gorgeous pottery swan. I think it's meant to hold a small potted plant, but I use it to hold other precious memories. It was given to my by an elderly lady I cherished as if she was my own grandmother. Unfortunately, after a severe car accident, she moved far away to live closer to her daughters. She gave me the swan the very last time I saw her. I've heard she's still doing well, living her best life and enjoying the beach. My second favourite was given to me as a birthday gift this year. It's a gorgeous antique glass lidded display case. I got a little teary-eyed when I unwrapped it. It's simple and beautiful, with a lovely little bead detail around the glass and a lockable latch to protect whatever I put inside. I haven't yet decided what I'll put in it - dragon jewellery, vintage toys or something else.

[@svenska81]

Nearly 50 years ago, for Christmas, my high school sweetheart gave me a bentwood rocking chair that I had been saving for. I still have the chair, and it always brings me joy.

[@damealeta3541]

These are so great and I can see how they woke up your slumbering creativity! I love them! As for my most unexpected and cherished gift: my husband and were married on December 23rd. We eloped with $200 to Las Vegas. Hotel was $18 for the night & our marriage license was $32. We lived on a love, hope and credit cards for far too many years. Fast forward to 2017. Our lives were better and we purchased our first home in 29 years of marriage. I woke up to help take care of my mom who was suffering from Alzheimer's and near death. The house was full of boxes and moving junk. Sitting a crummy old step stool my husband wished me happy anniversary and handed me a jewelry box. He was sweet to give me inexpensive jewelry over the years so I never expected this: a beautiful diamond ring. There two main diamonds twisted together and aa row of smaller diamonds down the sides. We never had wedding rings exactly. And this had me in tears. While it wasn't that long ago it is something that was so very precious to me. We celebrate 34 years this month. 💚

[@razzuie]

These frames are cute, you could remove the little stand at the back and attach a magnet. One of my favourite gifts was back when I was a teenager my mum got me a vintage suitcase full of old art supplies that she found at some second hand shop. It was probably the happiest I’ve ever been after opening Christmas presents and I used them all throughout my late teens and early twenties.

[@redandpink219]

I was just going to suggest the fridge magnet! They would be a great idea.

[@Annie_Annie__]

My husband’s great-aunt died a couple months ago (she was in her 90s). She lived next door to us, so we’ve been helping go through her things. She was an artist, so my in-laws had me go through her studio to figure out what could be donated, what needed to be thrown out, etc. because I’m an artist too. I bring it up because she did a lot of collages that had a similar vibe to these frames. They were mostly around the size of a sheet of paper, but definitely had a similar feel. She had 2 large boxes full of old magazines and books that were her collage materials. Some of them went back to the 1950s and 60s. It’s extensive. The family has been letting me use her art studio since my house is small and I don’t have much space. I think I might have to go next door later today (it’s 5am right now.) and make I little collage. Maybe use some of her materials in conjunction with some of mine. Pay homage to her in gratitude.

[@Zeldur]

Aawww. Hope you ended up doing a collage ^^. Sorry to hear about your great great aunt but I bet that art studio is awesome... Likely after some reorganization XD

[@vee_tinymoose]

When I was maybe 6 or so, my dad got me a custom made ceramic door tile with my name on it. My name wasn’t a common spelling and I couldn’t ever find it on anything so it was the first thing with my actual name on it. It had a decoupage little girl in it, she was 3D and popped out from the tile, and it had a blue ribbon all around the edge of the tile. I still have it now, 41 years later!

[@DawnDavidson]

Ooh, that gives me the idea that Shelby could customize them with names in the spot. Would have to be paint or nail polish or something, but wouldn’t that be fun?

[@deathbearbrown]

Best gift ever - I bought a childish magic pencil on a trip, which inspired me to start keeping a sketchbook. I drew every day with that pencil until it was a nub, that I was cramping my fingers trying to use. On my birthday that year, my husband bought me 50 of them! These pencils are kitschy novelties, so it wasn't easy to find them. Best present ever.

[@schaynegeorge4793]

I love your do as I say not as I do moment with the resin. My favourite gift is a purple floral embroidery made by my great-gran. It was given to me years ago, and at the time I didn't really appreciate it, it wasn't my style or anything, I didn't know how to hang a picture. A few years later I decided I didn't like it because she needed a clean up. I stripped and repainted the frame. Changing the frame from sad yellowing white paint to a deep purple that matches the flowers changed how I felt about the piece as a whole. Gran passed about 3 years ago, and when mum called I stood and stared at the embroidery all day. I hung it above my sewing desk when we moved shortly after, and while I don't embroider, she is with me in every stitch, every time I thread a needle. Any time I feel down about what I create I look up at her work and remember she didn't start out sewing photo realistic flowers, she worked at it for decades. The piece I have was made when she was in her late 70s or early 80s, she must have had 60+ years experience under her belt at the time (assuming embroidery was a skill she learned early). My skills may be alright now, but imagine how good I'll be in 40 years if I keep going.

[@mickmash13]

Best gift ever was my bookshelf! I'm a voracious bookworm and always have been. I never had enough space for them though. One year for Christmas, my dad made me a bookshelf. A handmade, beautiful bookshelf. We go to my grandparents' for Christmas, and it was the first thing I saw when I walked in the door. He'd been going to my grandparents' for weeks to build it as a surprise. I still have and use it to this day. Bonus: I moved to another city when I was 20, and I didn't have room for my bookshelf at the place I moved to. I ended up moving to a bigger place two years later, and my dad drove to my place to drop off some of my furniture. This included my beloved bookshelf which he'd gone over with stain and some sort of glossy finish. I never asked or expected him to, but he just wanted to make it a little bit nicer. It's my best and favorite gift twice over. I love my dad so much, and I'm so grateful for him.

[@firstnamekaty8830]

These could be really cute Christmas ornaments too. You could cut the standing part off, insert some of the hanging wire in the top of them, and then paint some cute little Christmas scenes. That would be so cute.

[@DawnDavidson]

Great idea! Those would also be awesome with resined holiday cards as she did here.

[@kwlloyd7]

I love the little frames, and I often marvel at your creativity and imagination! When I was little and was staying home from school because I was sick, my mother would bring me a tray with cereal for breakfast and would put the milk in her very special cow creamer. I could then pour the milk on, and if there was any left (there always was!) I could drink it from the cow’s mouth! I suspect that creamer was given to her by an older lady who no longer could afford to purchase presents and had given her several items instead. About 30 years later, when my husband and I were setting up an apartment, we stopped by my mother’s house on the way home from a camping trip and she offered a number of practical items - garden tools, pots and pans, and such. When she got the cow creamer down from its shelf, I said I couldn’t take it because it was too precious. So my dear and wise mother gave it to my husband secretly, and I have treasured it on my own shelf since that day.

[@nina1192]

The best gift I had was my guitar. It was a bit expensive, but I told my dad about it anyway. Then I never thought he would get it for me. I know the manager that runs the shop, and suddenly he called me to get something from the shop. I just thought it was something random from a friend. But it I was the guitar!!! I made songs over the years with it, I still have it now, but its not on its perfect shape anymore. But I still feel nostalgic about my Dad's surprise. ❤

[@terryleslied]

This isn't exactly what you were referring to, but it's still my favorite Christmas gift/memory. When I was very little, my father was military and we travelled and were never with extended family for the holidays. My Granny (my Mom's mother) would buy gifts throughout the year and add them to a large box that she would send at Christmas. Very few of the items in the box were wrapped and they were for everyone in the family. Of course, I loved Christmas, but my favorite thing was always that giant "Mystery Box" from my Granny. We'd have our Christmas around the tree and then, as the last thing, we'd all gather around that giant box as my parents would pull individual items out and announce who they were for...when I was 6 years old (that was in 1976!!!) I received what seemed like a humongous teddy bear. I still have him. He's old and worn and not nearly as huge as he seemed back then, but I love him as much today as I did as a child. Because of him, my Granny will always be with me and I can still give my Granny a hug whenever I want. Thank you so much for your channel, Shelby, because you give me that wholesome nostalgic feeling every time I watch your videos. There seems to be a lot more negativity in the world today, but you radiate love for everyone and that's exactly what we need right now!

[@squidypoo]

My favourite gift ever was the piano my Grandma gifted me for Christmas when I was 16. It had been her piano that she had bought with her all the way from England and the piano she used to teach me how to play. She tragically died 2 days before Christmas that year, so didn't get the chance to see my reaction. It is my absolute most treasured possession and I will never let it go.

[@SheriLynNut]

Favorite gift: I was in full-time ministry on a stipend for 22 years. In 2005, (my 5th year) - my sister, knowing how much I loved to cook/bake, and knowing that I had arthritis in my hands pretty bad, bought me a KitchenAid stand mixer. She was a single mother who didn’t have a lot of money, so it was a shock to receive such an extravagant expensive gift from her. I was overwhelmed by her generosity and thoughtfulness. I still have my mixer, and use it often. And I think of her sweetness every time I use it! 💝 I also want to say, these little frame artworks are inspired! Well done you!

[@greencoloredstar]

The gift that surprised me the most was an iPad that my husband surprised me with a few Christmases ago. He's always been so supportive of my art and got it for me to encourage me to start drawing again. He saved for months and picked up extra jobs to be able to get it for me. ❤️

[@CCCeramics]

I did not expect the little collages with the dried flowers! They turned out amazing.

[@StickyFrogStudio]

Also... Two and a half years ago I left my home to move across country to be with my wife. I gave up almost everything I owned, and only took what I could fit in my Eurovan (2002 VW Eurovan for those who are curious). Before I left I visited my father who lived only an hour away. I spent many days in his garden helping him plant, care for, and harvest so many vegetables and flowers. Eventually he wasn't able to do a lot of the work himself, having battled (and beat) cancer, open heart surgery, and a stroke, so I ended up caring for his garden. His most favorite plant was a cluster of lavender. As I was heading out to start my cross country move he handed me an envelope. Inside was a cute little card of well wishes, and a sprig of lavender..... It's been two and a half years, and that sprig of lavender is still in my van, a little good luck charm. It's since dried and lost all of it's smell and color, but It's the most valuable thing I own.

[@KurstieMichela]

When I was a Resident Assistant in college a sticky note sketch of an owl holding a cup of coffee was left on my door as a little gift from one of my residents. I still don’t know who it was that left it, but it spoke to me and I still have it to this day and still love it

[@laurawilke2617]

I love these frames. My favourite gift ever was a little plush bunny that my father snug into my arms while I was asleep when I was 6 years old before he went away for half a year to military service. It was my best buddy when I was a child, my mum helped me design clothes for it and it still guards me while I sleep.

[@JulieLewin]

The frames ... OMG .... fantastic. Your creativity is extraordinary. Thank you❤❤

[@anissarossington6040]

My grandpa is in that beautiful Australia book!!! He is riding a horse on a property called Belltrees.

[@DawnDavidson]

Oh my! Is it small enough to go in one of these??

[@MegaKellyschannel]

As a kid each year I would get a new beach towel from mum and dad. So functional and boring as a kid to open on Christmas day, but was also instantly attached to them! There was something really special about having a household item that was my own as a kid when everything in the house, everything I used wasn't mine. A tiny piece of control in a world ruled by grown ups.

[@wowjennawow]

this is so cute

[@deannespuhl3948]

I purchased beach towels with names, for my 6 yo, twin, great nephews this year. I hope they like them.

[@SpiritDragoness]

My kido got a towel with her name and a teddy bear embroidered on it from grandma (next time it will be a cat picture coz she is obsessed with cats). She takes this towel to school when she has swimming lessons coz it is already labelled as hers.

[@carolynnroberts2754]

When my son was born he was gifted a towel and face washer with his name on, they are still used to this day by him and he asks for his towel all the time

[@TomWDW1]

I LOVE THE MYSTERY MOULD SERIES!!!!!! Never stop making these!! hehehe

[@kellyhitz150]

My favorite is the turtle with the flower hat. Sheer genius 😊.

[@happyheather7428]

These frames are so adorable. 🥰. I think they are my favourite. My most treasured gift was my Cabbage patch doll. It was all I ever wanted when I was young. It was given to me by my mum, who passed away not long after it was given to me. She stayed on my bed while I was growing up and eventually got packed away. My dad told me that mice had gotten into the bag that she was kept and he threw the bag out. I was devastated. Fast forward 30+ years and I’m unpacking a chest that was kept in storage at my Aunties place and she was in the chest. I cried and she now sits on my bed every day. ❤

[@nannadie]

I wish there was more than one second to see each one of them individually, they all look gorgeous!

[@christie90]

Once I had this beautiful leopard appaloosa who was my heart horse, he died, unfortunately. But most treasured present I ever got was a bracelet made out of his tail hair. I cried. Ugly cried. And couldn't look at it or put it on because I was shaking so much. It was the most precious and still is my favourite gift ever.

[@jowobo89]

Oh wow, I've been working on this miniature diorama inside a shadowbox-style picture frame and have been struggling what to do for the under/background for the figurines. Grabbing some old picture books to fill that space is brilliant. Thank you so much for the idea!

[@plushieangela]

One gift that has my heart is a beauuuutiful amethyst flower ring my dad bought me many years ago when we were doing markets together. I still have it in the drawer in front of me. It literally looks so much like the ring Galadriel wears in the Lord of the Rings movies but more purple

[@polythenepam3236]

Mine would be my first ever cross stitch kit my husband bought me 20+ years ago! No idea why as I’d never shown any interest in anything like that! But I completed it and still stitch to this day! That day he gave me the gift of being able to keep myself amused for hours on end 🥰

[@robinmentzer7974]

Those are adorable. My favorite's are the ones with mostly the dried flowers.

[@missytyrrell1]

I can't even find the words to describe how much I love these!

[@Bethany.Loveday]

My Aunty’s mother saw a beautiful ceramic thimble with my name on it whilst she was traveling and got it for me. Back then, it was virtually impossible to find any of those name trinkets with ‘Bethany’ on it, let alone something so beautiful and well made. It was incredibly special and I still have it today 🥰💕 Oh I so wish I managed to get on of these advent calendars just for this piece! They are adorable and so creative! 😍💕

[@MaethielTarias]

Now is my time to shine, with this story! ..and it wasn't even my gift.. But the one, that stuck with me the most. I was a guest at a kids birthday, think we where all arround 9ish y.o. The little Sister of my friend was 6 I think, or even younger. And she is the star of this story. After my friend opened all of our gifts, her sister brought out a rather wrinkley and misshapen present. All proud, how she wrapped it herself. And then it began... Layer after layer, she opened the present, with another wrapping layer underneath. And each one of them looked more crumpled, the present getting smaller and smaller. Lil sis had practised a lot with this packing up. In the end, the last layer (pattern almost unrecognisable because of the wrinkles) came off, and a little chocolate heart to daylight..... with a bite taken out of it. Little sister had gone shopping with her own pocket money, and couldn't resist to taste it. This always reminds me, of how much joy a so small and minor thing can bring, and it doesn't even have to be perfect. This little chocolate heart still was the talk years later, and it brought a smile to everyone involved.

[@DuneDemon8]

I did some small educational sets in kindergartens. In one of them kids surprised me with this piece of cloth they painted animals on (I was educating on animals), framed and written a small note for me. The wonky lion, cat, rabbit, giraffe, elephant and some animals with way to many legs just absolutely made my day and more. I have it on my wall and it makes me happy every time I look at it.

[@TomBydand]

favourive gift; for my 18th birthday, my siblings pooled their resources and bought me a vintage Japanese print. its beautiful and is the first thing i hang up in a new home.

[@OneGuyOnline2]

I enjoy how much you enjoy the molds and creating. :)

[@TallTeenTurtle]

i love the finished artworks so much I almost started crying. they are all so bright and creative and joy inducing!

[@IndyMartiniVideos]

My brother-in-law made me a terrarium in a jar with little Pokemon figurines inside, hidden among the plants - I'm still keeping it going 3 years later! My love language is gift giving so I love presents that show that someone thought about me and spent time making something for me!

[@semperstitchingllc7801]

Best gift ever - 1989 Littlefoot plush dinosaur from the Land Before Time movie. 34 years later, I still sleep with this dinosaur every night. 😂

[@thegreaterbilby2171]

I remember my older brother's first "summer love" gave me her collection of barbie dolls & outfits, paper dolls on stands with outfits, hand-puppets with ceramic heads, colouring-in books and puzzle books and massive tins of pencils, crayons and water-colours, Plaster-of-Paris powder and rubber moulds, and her amazing seashell collection. They kept me and visiting friends and cousins out of mischief on rainy days & at nights by the gaslight for the whole of the summer holidays in our big old canvas tent camped on the beach at Kingscliff. I think I was about 8 at the time. Happy memories ... 🏖

[@elbum89]

I am obsessed with these! The present that I love and cherish and actually my childhood teddy. A Sylvester teddy my uncle and aunt brought me from the USA when I was little. It’s not just any teddy, he disappeared while we were shopping at Southland back in the 90s and I was devastated, convinced I would never see him again, then on my birthday I was gifted a shoe box, and there he was, my Sylvester. I’ve had him for 30 years and I still cherish him. He has been my comforter since I got him and I have cherished him more so after I got him back

[@otterwench]

My husband hired a barbershop quartet to visit me at home while he was at work for Valentines Day when we'd been married about a year and a half. I still have the polaroid they took, 4 gentlemen in tuxes, and me in my farmer john overalls, red plaid shirt, holding the rose Oscar sent with them. We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary this year.

[@Sjiesjam]

So funny to see an Ozzie with a dutch book, must be at least 50 years in Australia.

[@KateandEvatoys]

I absolutely love the way you finished the frames with the paper and dried flowers ❤

[@chronicallycrocheting]

WOW! I am crazy impressed! I so wish I could have one of these. 😍 Every hand made item my Aunt Marilyn gave me I cherish. She is so artistic and I have hand painted Christmas ornaments or a girl she drew and water colored. I am not creative at all. I don’t think outside my box. Crocheting is something I love and am good at however if I wasn’t bed ridden most of the time pottery would definitely be a hobby I would want to pursue. I did take one pottery class in high school and loved it. For now I will live vicariously through Shelby. Thank you Shelby for these amazing videos!

[@vkol444]

Shelby you are such a treasure!

[@markusstorzer4545]

when you said flowers I went "exactly!"....thought of some third dimensional diaorama like use having some of your dried flowers flat against the backing but some sticking outside the frame's dimensions

[@midiansangel]

Oooh, wedding place plaques ❤

[@tmaltez]

So cute! The turtle with the flower hat😍

[@malusdraco3793]

I think the best gift I’ve ever gotten was a pillow pet that looked like my tuxedo cat. I cannot remember when or how I started using it for a pillow and not just a plush but oh my god he’s been with me for Ages! Even as a grown adult I still use it as a pillow

[@ima.ekenes]

One birthday (early twenties) I said I wished for "something small and green", as a prompt instead of a spesific thing. And one of my friends took it all out and ended up giving me a green box full of little green things like pencils and candy and marbles. I don't really remember the content anymore, just the fact that he had spent probaby a whole saturday in town buying every little green thing he could find. Nobody had ever done something like that for me before. (I was pretty lonly in my childhood…) Now I still have a promt on my wish list every year, and my in laws love it. One year I wanted something with snowmen on, and my mil actually crocheded one for my Christmas tree. Higly recommend as an answer when someone asks you what you wish for, and don't feel like giving a list of stuff you want OR saying you have everything you want. 😉

[@debbiemarquis3231]

They're beautiful Shelby..I want all.

[@Anggea]

Most unexpected and thoughtful gift I’ve ever received was from a co-worker, she wanted to get me something and since we’re in Canada, decided on a scarf. She kept an eye on the colours of my different winter jackets and picked out a scarf in a colour I never would have chosen for myself at the time because she thought it would go with what I owned. I LOVE THAT SCARF!!!! I love the effort she put into it, how unexpected and sweet it was, and it has been my go-to winter scarf for over 8 years now. And it always makes me happy when I wear it and get to share the story of it. 💕💕

[@wowjennawow]

i don’t know if i’m more jealous of your art skills or your wardrobe! i absolutely adore these!!

[@ClaraBothel]

One of my most favorite Christmas gifts was a music box. I always wanted one and my mom found someone who handmade them with mosaic wood patterns on the lid. I love it!

[@pennycandyys]

Love this idea! This isn’t exactly a gifting story, but it also sort of is. My son has moved back home for a while, and he brought his two adorable kitties with him, two kitties that I low-key tried to talk him out of choosing. Unfortunately my physical state has been not great, and it seems to keep getting worse, but it turns out that I have come to fiercely love his girls and every day the affection and love that they willingly give me helps to make things bearable.

[@sheylaboucher3829]

They are beautiful!!!!!! Wow, really creative.

[@michelleg773]

So very cute. TFS ❤

[@RadonCrow]

These turned out brilliant.. I'm obsessed 😍

[@amandasumosky2155]

I. LOVEEEE. These!!!!

[@AllysonMH]

One of my favorite little unexpected gifts I’ve received is a coaster! A long-distance friend of mine was doing an internship at a company that used aerospace-grade carbon fiber, my friend made some coasters with expired material and sent one to me in a care package. It is so cool! I use it as my desk coaster and it makes me think of her ❤

[@paulalam]

When you said pet portrait I imagined your Aussie flower koalas as a family portrait 😊

[@DawnDavidson]

Me too!!! ❤

[@yoli_jvv]

This is one of my favorite videos!

[@usmosers2495]

I can’t express how much I love these - brilliant, whimsical and lovely. I would be at your market stall wanting to buy them all up! I appreciate your artistic style and collaging prowess. You rock! (Going now to see if any are on a web store…)

[@LTMarshall]

These would make real cute earrings stands if you put two holes in the top area

[@annemichellejohal3974]

Wow the colours combinations you have created on the frames, and then with the collage is beautiful and so inspiring... thank you : )

[@Zeldur]

My favorite gifted item.... It's sad but also extremely nice. It's a custom jigsaw puzzle. My grandpa passed away right before US Thanksgiving 2020. We used to do jigsaw puzzles together all the time. He was always working on one at the dining table whenever we would hop over to visit. That Christmas, my dad found a picture of grandpa and I together and had a jigsaw puzzle company print it onto the pieces. I still have the box in clear view on my shelf, but I haven't had the emotions ready to do it yet. Maybe I'll have that as a goal for next year... I like that idea

[@devh6168]

My husband bought me onion goggles on year and a big pancake turner another year and I adore both of them - he found them on his own and they are both just the best!

[@kimwallace1170]

Right before you said pet portraits I said oh that would make cool cat portraits! 😂 These turned out fantastic!!! ❤ My favorite gift is my step daughter. She’s 14 and this year she made contact with my husband. This year feels like our first family Christmas and I’m so excited to share it her!

[@Cate7451]

Oh, Shelby! These turned out amazing! People used to took some hair or lock of hair and do things like braiding it to make little pictures. Especially of a loved one who passed. What about using someone's lock of hair in the resin? Look up how pictures were made from the hair.

Still in the beginning but this would be a cute wedding table numbers. It could be customized for different wedding themes. And then the guests could take them home.

My mom has gifted me a lot of sentimental gifts and trinkets over the years but my favorite has been the pottery that she made. On the less sentimental side of things, my brother got me a small toolkit before I went to university and I thought it was a joke since it was pink and all the tools inside were pink and I’m not a pink girlie, but I’ve used it sooooo much in the past 10 years. It’s come with me everywhere I’ve lived and while I’m now missing a few tools I still use it regularly

All your ideas for these frames are so cute, and I love how the ones you tried turned out. It makes me want to cut up some picture books and make collages too

You could do little 2D versions of the Australian Animals, and the Australian native plants in these!

my favorite gift is definitely the little heart necklace my boyfriend gave me for our 1 year anniversary. I still wear it everyday, we have been together for over 6 years now. The moments i have to take it off are always wear to me, like if I have to take it of for a scan or going to a swimming pool. I keep reaching for it and it not being there always give ma a little heart attack but then i remember and everything is fine. Never thought is would get so attached to the little necklace.

My favorite thing is a glass tea kettle with glass/rose tea cups from my mom. They have a special shelf in my cabinet so they don't get broke. I'm obsessed with tea and in America most people are not huge herbal tea or tea drinkers besides iced tea. However I am and have a tea obsession and I wouldn't have bought myself a tea set like that.

You can use double sided tape or office putty (might stain if the paper is porous.)... They are removable. Also you can make a small roll of painters tape or celotape, with the sticky side on the outside to turn it into double sided tape.

I absolutely adore this! I think this if my favourite mystery mould artwork! I want a hole heep of them! For my favourite gift story: as a child I absolutely fell in love with a blue velved clad, porcelain headed blue sankt Nicolas figurine Christmas decoration. I saved all of November/December to by him, but went my mum took me to the store it was gone. I was so irritated and sad that I didn't get him. Come Christmas eve I got a big present from my dad and inside was my st Nick! I've had him for about 30 years now and I love him as much to day as I did as a child. But my dad to like to tease me about the Christmas I got him, apparently I was quite angry and pouty....and dad was looking forward to seeing my face when I opened my present. My face was 😳 then 😍🤩🥹🥹🥹😍

Those are so so cute, fun, special!

My most favorite gift or maybe most treasured is a better discription. I was gifted a round painting by an artist. We where all going out to dinner, my parents, he and his partner and I at the restaurant my brother worked. Being given an artwork is something to be treasured in and off itself off course. But it turnout to be the last night I saw my brother alive. He died in a car accident, early Christmas morning 2000. That painting became something super special and it has a proud place in my house. I don't tell this story for sympathy, but to remind you to hug the once you love!!!

Not Christmas, but it was close to Christmas because it was a birthday gift. I was in preschool and my parents were picking me up from my babysitter and gave me a ceramic unicorn music box thing (it wasn't a box but played music like one). It was all white with a gold horn and had a pearl finish to the rest of it. When wound up it played the main theme from the musical Carousel. The horn broke off pretty early in my life, and it's gotten a chip in it, and it no longer plays music, but I still remember staring at it for what felt like hours that first day. It has moved with me throughout my life and I still think of it as my most precious treasure.

[@puppylove2363]

They are so beautiful !!!

[@stephanieheat]

I absolutely love this! So beautiful

[@richewilson6394]

Lol I always say I can make it by half or whatever. My mom laughs because I never got to meet my grandmother because she died the year that my parents got married literally like 2 months before. And she would say that what her mother would always say about clothes in the shops is that she could make it for half of that or whatever. What's funny is that my grandmother's good at sewing, my mom's good at cooking, and I'm good at crafting and pretty much do it all.

[@MrsCaptainHuck]

Wow! These are so great! I love them!

[@luuorallemn9921]

These are SO cute! What an imaginative way to fill these adorable frames! WOW!

[@debbieobryan5607]

A music box that plays a song from American tales a cartoon that somewhere out there by people in and Celine Dion or is somebody else I can’t remember who sings this song but that’s one of my most treasured treasured keepsakes
