Are you making handmade gifts this year? Every year I say I will make gifts and then I make very few. Well, this year I am getting started early (yeah, November is early) and things are coming together. We did have a little mishap – my sister came over and spotted this in my studio and now she wants one too. This one is for my parents.

My dad has been bugging us to get a “new” photo of the whole family in front of the Hollywood sign at Universal Studios. Well, this past Mother's Day we all went to Universal Studios and took the photo. My dad has a small framed print but I know he wants something bigger. And blowing up an 8×10 photo would be grainy…and printing a photo canvas is super pricey. Enter Craft Attitude!
