they love it because they made it.
a smile when they say it was made by me.
this is my chance to build something. decorate something. make it my own. made by me is for people like me that are sick of the same old thing. the same old formula. plastic everywhere. everything looks the same.
made by me isn’t what someone else thinks i want. it’s exactly what I know I want. it’s not made by them, it’s made by me.
made by me is something to construct and play in.
something that kids make their own. a castle or a cubby or a desk. something that they have to make. then decorate. something that they love because it’s theirs. their own, unique piece. then they can rub it out and start all over again.
they love it because they made it. a smile when they say it was made by me.
made by me is a gift.
i don’t give vouchers or a dvd. i take time to create a gift. i want it to say something about them, but more importantly, something about me. I want them to know I care. that I thought about it. I want to give something unique. an album that I hand painted. a photo frame that the grandkids helped me stick shells and buttons on.
something just for them, but something made by me.
made by me decorates my home.
my home is my place. a chance to express myself. I love it when the family comes over. I love those long dinners and that extra bottle of red wine. I want them to know me better just from looking around. little expressions of me. things that are unique. perhaps just a word that means something to me and I decorated it just right. even my tissue box tells a story.
my home is part of who I am. I decorate it with things made by me.
