How lovely...making them happy has in turn made you happy... *4u

I am certain when Lee reads this - she will be happy too! Sounds like your granddaughters are sweethearts!!*

Your little gifts made them feel more special because you made them especially for them and them alone, they don't have to share and at their age that means a lot. Think these bags will be around for a long time as dolls don't carry around too much stuff..lol.

Carol that was so sweet! I'm sure they really enjoyed them. If they are Am. Girl doll lovers of course they are the perfect size for that... Thanks for sharing.

They may act like they want this or that from the store, but something made especailly for them by you seems to mean so much more to them! They will treasure those little candy bags for a long time, and probally stash them away in a treasures box for when they grow up. My daughters now give me suggestions on what I can make for them for christmas, their birthdays, and for the grandchildren even. One of my daughters asked if I could make her twin sister massage oil holsters for Christmas.<br />Shes a student right now in massage theraphy and I made her holsters for her oil bottles from Christmas. She loves them and said that the other students really like her holsters too, several asked her where she ordered them from so they could get ones like hers. Her response, they are one of a kind, made with love by my mom. And she's 24, so no they don't outgrow it, just move away from it for a while maybe. But they see the love and thoughfulness you put behind it.

Isn't it just the best feeling when your home-made ideas are appreciated!!!!!

That is a feel good moment when you know the time and effort you put into something is going to be used and appreciated.

Carol, they sure will treasure these bags. Yes Lee's candy bags are so sweet.Hugs Yvonne

i bet it is because they know that you did this just for them - and not everyone has one like that. Way to go.

Awwwwwwwwwwww thats so sweet,thank you so much Carol :) I'm so thrilled and happy for you. It's so heart felt when you make something for them and i think they appreicate more. Valentines day is for the ones we love and it's so nice to feel it too.
big hugs Lee

They know grandma loves them and made the bags especially for them. Kids surprise you now and then.

It is lovely to see your grandchildren really appreciate the little things in life especially handmade items...Well done!

Carol, what a wonderful memory you have made and now will be treasured by all of you - through the years. Thanks! *4U

Good to hear of their joy on receiving. My older sons are a little more jaded in their views now and tell me I shouldn't bother doing personalised towels etc for people because they're boring. They don't know as much as they think they do, those teens -and I'll ignore those comments anyway and focus on more positive ones like yours :)

This is so true. Went out to supper last night and instead of usual chocs or wine took a tea towel that I had embroidered. Went down so well.
