Well I could be really cheesy and say the best gift I’ve ever given has been myself….I was born on Christmas! But really, hmmm….I think the best gift I’ve ever received has been my husband…we got married 4 days after Christmas. Does that count? :)

The best present I received was from my mom the first Christmas after my dad died — it was a book of photos of him and me. Very meaningful!
When my grandmother was still alive, I gave her and my mother tickets to the ballet. She loved it. My mother danced until she was 19, I danced later in life but Nana never did. Christmas is all about miracles, isn’t it?
Winning a SNAP ticket would be a miracle for me :D
Thanks so much for featuring my chocolate stirrers! So many great ideas each week!
My best Christmas gift is my oldest son, today is his birthday, 6 years ago we got the best early Christmas gift!! ( I would love to go to the SNAP conference however I already have a conference I will be at that weekend for my business, so I if I win I would love to gift the ticket to another blogger!)
All time favorite xmas present was a hamster. I could go into the long story that was that magical Christmas morning as a 10 year old, but I’m sure you can imagine it with this next sentence. It was in my stocking.
I follow Snap’s blog. Not sure why I wasn’t already. Problem solved!
Thanks for hosting! Loving all of the Christmas link ups :)
The best Christmas present that I have given is a calendar for my parents with my children’s pictures on it

One year I gave my boyfriend (now husband) a “human blanket.” I made a large cutout of my body and sewed it onto a fuzzy blanket. It was a little inside joke. If we were going to be away from eachother for the holidays, I wanted to be “with him.” I wrapped the gift and gave it to him, but he ended up surprising me and flew to Canada for Christmas Day. ;)
Best Friday EVER!! A feature AND a chance to win a SNAP ticket! Thank you so much for featuring my Mental Hugs book, Mique! My favorite holiday gift given is when I have my boys help make something for the grandparents. I love watching their faces as they help, and my parents & in-laws love the gifts they receive!
I would LOVE to go to SNAP! My favorite Christmas present was finding out we were expecting our second child. Thanks for much for the chance to win!
I linked up my monogrammed ornaments and handmade gifts. Thanks for the chance to win!
One of my favorite gifts to give was to my grandpa last year. When my little family went to Disneyland last year, we stopped and visited my great grandma in California. I got my two toddlers to sit and take a picture with their great great grandma. That picture is even more special now, because she passed away in May at almost 90 years old. That picture is a comfort for my grandpa, because this is the first Christmas that we won’t get to talk to her on the phone, or get her homemade peanut brittle.

Thanks for the link up party! One year my sister went on etsy and put together the sweetest basket of handmade items that i had marked as favorites and wrote me a letter on a card she had made for me, she is not a sentimental person so for her to give me such a sweet gift was so special.
I want to go to SNAP so bad and I live so close by. THe best gift I ever received is when my husband surprised me by planning a trip back to Indiana for Christmas to visit my family.

The best Christmas present I ever given…hmmmm that’s hard! :) My favorite is Christmas jammies for the kiddos on Christmas Eve. Christmas jammies are soooo cute! :)
The best gift I ever got was … and let me explain… I am a huge Elvis Presley fan… one year there was this Elvis phone that when you pushed the button he danced and sang. His hips moved too, plus I was a young teenager who loved to talk on the phone, so it was WIN WIN! Christmas morning I opened that big box with the hip moving Elvis Phone and I screamed like a lunatic fan, as if I was at a live concert where Elvis (younger years) came back from the dead and was serenading me. winks, jen
The best Christmas present I ever received was annual passes to Disney World for our family! My family and my husband’s family all pitched in to make it possible. I LOVED those passes, and miss having them.

I hope this one counts as a gift… When I asked my 8 year old what she was going to ask Santa for this year, she told me “there’s nothing I really need, so I’m going to tell Santa to give my gifts to other kids who need them more.” Tears! Kisses! I felt so proud and thanked God for blessing me with such a sweet, compassionate little girl. She’s truly a gift. She did go on to add “okay, maybe he could bring me at least one…” ;)
And I linked up today! So excited for this giveaway!

The best, or at least most memorable Christmas was when my mother gave me training bras and made me unwrap them in front of everyone. Awesome, hahaha!
My sweet hubby bought me a sewing machine 2 years ago and I still love it.
two pink lines on a pregnancy test :)
The best gift I’ve received…aosh, I have gotten a few that I love but, the most favorite would be the year my hubby surprised me with diamond stud earrings! Love that guy!
The best gift ever was an entire day spent together without any bickering between my three boys – now I call THAT a Christmas miracle lol! :)
my favorite gift ever was my sweet puppy that my parents surprised us with when I was 8!
I just heard about Snap this year and would LOVE to attend as I LOVE to blog, meet new people and keep in touch and up to date with social media. One of my favorite gifts ever was a laptop my now husband, fixed up for me as I was using my sister’s old slow one and really wanted one of my own. One of the best gifts ever! He never fails to disappoint.

The best Christmas gift I ever gave was to my husband a couple of years ago . . . I found a super old vintage Nintendo set with all the classic games like Tetris, Mario, and Duck Hunter. I ended up letting him open it on Christmas Eve and we stayed up until 3 in the morning playing all our favorite games from our childhood. It was seriously one of the best Christmases ever!
I subscribed to SNAP!!! I would LOVE to go! :) Thanks for hosting a great giveaway . . . and thanks for featuring our Chex Mix!! :)
I would love to attend the snap conference. I am looking for a career change and my web designer/wedding photographer son has been urging me to start a craft blog and open an etsy shop. This chance to learn from these amazingly talented people would be just what I need. Thanks for the chance!
My husband suprised me with a Pfaff seeing machine. He did all the research. I thought I could get by with my grandmother’s old one, but now I couldn’t live without my Pfaff!

The best Christmas present I ever gave was a scrapbook of our family history for each of my 4 siblings. I had never made a scrap book before and I had no idea how much time and $ it would cost to make them. However, my brothers are impossible to please and never use anything they are given as gifts, yet they have often mentioned these scrapbooks I made and have even pulled them out in front of me to look at them so I know they really liked them. It makes me smile to know they value something I made so much. It made it all worth it.

Also, I am following the snap blog now. :D
My favorite Christmas gift was one from my brother. He’s always been a “free spirit” and always comes up with really cool things from nature to give us. That particular Christmas, he gave me a pair of real butterfly wings (and somehow attached them together) and then tied a string to it so it would fly when I pull it in the air behind me. It was SO cool! I still have it and bring it out every once in a while to make it fly.
The best Christmas present I ever got was my engagement ring, on Christmas Eve 1998. :-)
I just subscribed to your blog on Goggle Reader. And I’d LOVE to win a ticket to this conference–I live just up the road in the Salt Lake Valley!!
The best Christmas present will be the one I am buying myself this year! A ticket to SNAP (if I don’t win one first! ;D)
One of the best gifts I’ve received is my favorite book signed by the author from my hubby. :)

Ok, I am going to be less sentimental and go with a Sunnydale High School t-shirt that my hubby gave me a few years ago. Yes, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer even though I am over 30. But don’t worry, I have other redeeming qualities!
Would love to attend the conference!

Last year my husband bought me the most coveted of all crafters… My very own Silhouette SD. The thing that made it the best Christmas gift was not what it was… even though I LOVE it… But it was that he had NO idea what it was or what it did. He just knew I really wanted one. So he saved and secretly found then ordered one for me online. So awesome he is. :)

Oh my gosh I would love love love love love love LOVE to win a ticket to SNAP!!!! What an awesome giveaway! I’m a whole hearted lover and subscriber of the SNAP blog.
When my husband and I were newly married {= almost no xtra $$} I took on a job making 800 handmade invitations for a local gala!! He helped me with so much of it and as a big surprise and thank you to him, I was able to get him a table saw {that he still has and uses to build me furniture}. I had my dad put it in the middle of the garage where he normally parks … when we came home from Christmas Eve with his family and the garage door went up … there it was. SO FUN!!
I follow the Snap Blog too … I’m already planning on buying my ticket SOON, but winning would be AWESOME!!
The best gift i’ve ever gotten was a piano from my husband!
My favorite Christmas gift ever would have to be a home-video I saw of when I was two and a half. My parents got me a scooter (kind of like those razor scooters but with 2 wheels in the back) that I had apparently either seen or wanted. Anyway, they uncover my eyes and I am in shock and repeat over and over, “My scooter! My scooter!” I love this because I think it was the first real Christmas that I asked for something and now that my daughter is two, I can now feel the joy that my parents must have felt when giving me gifts! I see the look on my daughter’s face and am so excited for her “My scooter!” moment this year! :)
