Default I need to share this or I'm going to go silly!!
Alrighty so one of my fiancée Christmas gifts is hand made by yours truly, let me give you back story...

He's from Ohio we are down here in florid, he's in the navy. All of his family are there, including his kids (his ex wife left and took them back while he was deployed, breaks my heart thinking about it). So I made this, a reminder of where hes from and where so many many people have his heart, in Toledo, Ohio. His is 28x28 inches, and I also made 5 mini 10x10s as gifts for his family to tie them all together.

His mother and her husband
His dad and his wife
His brother and his wife
His sister and her husband
And one for his kids

One for each house hold, I sanded,nailed, primed, painted and stenciled each I have never made anything with woodworking so I'm so excited about these! Plus it kept me busy making them


Here's his





And One of the minis






Gah! I hope he loves it!!

Wow. I don't know about him, but I would find that to be best the best gift in the world because you made it just for him and his family.
