When I first began doing those, I was making 15 of them for
various holidays. I'd give one to each of the Management team, one to each of
my newsletter team, to each of my charity crafters, and to 2 or 3 neighbors.
That slowly decreased to the 10 that I usually do these days. Some folks passed
away, some moved away. I really had fun deciding what to put into them for each
holiday.
Typically, for Easter, I'd make a holiday-themed coaster, or
a dishcloth, or laminated hand designed bookmark, or printouts of various
holiday-themed puzzles (word search, anagram, maze, etc.) that I'd find online,
or all of the above. I've accumulated some cute little holiday "cookie
cutters" from dollar stores that I use to cut out from slices of cheese,
and I always included some sweets and other things. I had fun.
This year, our Management team is scattered. One works from
home, one works in one office, and the other in another office. One of my
charity crafters is in a different mobile home park, and one of my neighbors is
leaving early this year for their summer digs in Michigan. I would only be
making for, let's see, 4 or 5 folks at most, for various reasons. I don't want
to make for some and not for the others.
I asked a manager if she thought I could just leave theirs
on their porches but she, too, said it might be best to forget it this time. I
agree.
But I will miss it...(sigh)... Rolling along...
