I have the hardest time coming up with things to blog about lately. Everything that I've made has needed to be kept secret. I'm fairly sure that a certain someone will guess that this gift is for her, but she should have it by now anyway. That is, if UPS came through. I saw the idea for these bulb forcers in Country Living magazine. They are made out of 1 liter bottles. The top is cut off and then inverted into the base. You fill it with water and then the bulb, in this case daffodils, roots and eventually sprouts a flower. I thought it was really clever and inexpensive.I used some scrapbook paper with a map of London, one of my very favorite places, and then added a few embellishments. When we were were in the UK, we couldn't believe all the daffodils everywhere. I hope this gift evokes memories of a special time.

What a great idea! Will you share directions? I could use a couple of quick handmade gift ideas. Stop by and visit, o.k.!
Nice gift idea, let's go to London after the holidays, shall we!
What a lovely gift. I love London also--we haven't been in a few years owing to having bought a bigger house 2 years ago and the dollar doing so badly against the pound (doesn't it figure that it's doing much better now), and now the uncertainty about the job market.
What a clever idea! Love how you decorated it up! Too cute!
