Designing, painting and cross stitching a very personal gift

Making a Handmade Christmas Gift for Someone Special

Have you ever had someone special in your life that always says “I don’t need any gifts” but you want to surprise them with something special? Well, I consider creating as my secret “super power” to make something unique and meaningful for that special someone.

I cleaned up a photo of our motorhome, adjusted it in the online program FlossCross.com and came up with a one=of=a-kind cross stitch chart. I then had about seven days to complete the cross stitching to have it ready as a Christmas gift. It is now hanging in a place of honor in the motorhome!
