[PinkLady]

[cheryl1409]

I've only had 1 item made from me and it was by a lovely UKS lady. She made me a paperbag book for ds and when I opened it, I nearly cried, it was beautiful. So yes, love them.

[Acidburnrosie]

[Emma Jane]

I voted for all the book options as I love handmade mini books of any kind. I don't have much room for tins and bigger things and unfortunately I am allergic to lots of bath stuff and jewellery (nickel allergy) but all the book things are fab :)

I also love handmade cards

Voted for all except bath bombs cos my skin is a wee bit sensitive.

PennyB made me a tin once and it was sooooooo gorgeous. I don't know what some of the things are but all the more reason to want them!

[Daisydays]

I have to admit that although I like altered things, actually making them is not my thing!!! Making mini books is also something I am not keen on doing. I have 8 x 8 and 12 z 12 albums and those are the sizes I really like to stick to although I have ventured into something smaller occaisionally

[Val H.]

I've voted for all the paper and tag things as well as the altered tins. I think it's great if somebody goes to the trouble of making things especially for you.

[Jen_N]

love anything handmade!

[__TJ__]

i like handmade items but, no smellies cos i only use a specific soap perfume cos of my skin and ditto jewellery, i only wear gold so if you want ot send em gold then that is fine but otherwise i can break out :) id hate someone to work hard on somethign that i couldnt wear :) happy with all other items tho, especially woud love to see exploding box IRL :)

[NELLIS10]

I voted for starbooks, exploding boxes and paperbag books. Because I would love to make these myself but ahven't ahd the chance!!:D

[janetlinda56]

I have been making a star book in my class at scrapbook sisters, just got to do the decorating now, so much cutting of card,its taking shape and will be worth it in the end.

Oh yeah last year I got a beautiful handmade bag & matching scarf from one very talented UKScrapper...

But to be honest, although handmade bath type stuff looks & smells devine I can't use it as am hypo sensitive :(

[Phoenix Tears]

I think if someone goes to the trouble of making you something, then it is a lovely thoughtful gift, so I love anything handmade! But I agree on the bath stuff, the smells although nice I find make me feel ill after a while so I only use unscented products, besides I only have a shower!

[AliTS]

I had nothing handmade last year, and that was fine, but I'm quite happy with scrapping related things, I wouldn't be able to use a hand made bath bomb because I'm allergic to lots of things, and though I like tags, I don't use them very much, so I wouldn't want loads. In the package I did for my swappee I made a tag, and a couple of embellishments, and decorated a notebook and the rest was bought.

I also hand cut a relevant title, and did a die-cut alphabet in Christmassy colours (not exactly handmade but sort of:D)

I voted for starbooks, altered tins and tag books as they are the kind of thing I don't do very much myself.

[darm]

i voted jewellery, atcs, tins, altered iteme g diary

[allyf]

I would love anything scrapbooky that someone made me. I make my own jewelllery so I have a ton of that kind of thing and I am allergic to metals. Either I or someone in the house are allergic to a lot of smellies so I cant use anything like that.
:-)

[agirlcalledbob]

lol ahhh i've jusst noticed you can vote for more than one thing :rolleyes:

i'm thinking that smellies are a bit dodgy then...I have CFS which makes me hyper sensitive to smells and chemicals and metals...so i guess i'm with the majority on that one! :( think they are lovely tho!!!

totally agree, its always lovely to have something that someone has made for you :D

[~ melzscrappin]

oh..i absolutely love ANYTHING homemade and have received from my
cyber scrappin friends...i am honored that someone would take the time
and effort to make me something and so appreciate it

[dragonfly jane]

i would love and feel very lucky if anyone gave me a handmade gift and i have voted that i like everything apart from bath / scented items because i tend to stick to the brands i know my skin will like. I have voted for jewellery but i suppose i should say that i don't have my ears pierced for ear rings, having said that i would still find a use for them if i got a pair because i sometimes buy them to put in my teddy bears ears when i dress them up for photos :D

[lauralaura]

I voted for paperbag books and exploding boxes, although i have not got round to making a box yet !!

[Natoni]

I love anything handmade, I am not very good myself but am always amazed at the lovely things other people can make

[katie squirrel]

have to say I voted for most of them.... would be thrilled to receive anything handmade that someone has put the effort into.....

[JAIME GIRL]

I like handmade stuff I can add to like books...or embellies....not really into bath bombs/jewlery though

[Hypatia]

I don't have much space for displaying items - very small house with too many things happening in it already. I've one basket on my shelf where I've put the two CJs and a couple of the mini albums I've done - I'm hoping to get more display storage at some point but not for a year or so.

However, magnets/clips for holding things up are useful (have a couple of magnetic boards around the house plus one inspirational cork board), as are the notebooks/post it books you can keep in your purse, Sun catchers, coasters for my drinks, bookmarks/thongs, rolodex cards with quotes etc. on them - I have rolodex holders for CD/DVD collection, recipe collection (finding it in the cookbook shelves) and the one in my craft area with my inventory/all about me cards from friends and quotes. So some of those would be wonderful.

I've been a flybaby for the last five/seven years and have been decluttering enthusiastically, I think things are clear and then find more to get rid of... the kids/cats/and dh are still around tho' :)

[whitetigeress33]

I love handmade items, anything goes except bathbomb and toileries

[RebeccaP]

I like handmade items, but not smellies, toiletries etc....
I'm afraid that ATC's I see little point to although I see lots of people having fun making them. MAybe when I have scrapped all my photos and having nothing else to do I may be persuaded.
I do make paperbag books, minibooks, cards and star books myself.
