    i'll start
    hmmm


    for my friend's birthday coming up
    she is graduating from University two days later
    so i'm going to make her a charm bracelet

    (if i can find these)
    which a graduation cap, a birthday cake, an 07, seattle space needle (cause we live in seattle), effiel tower (because we might go there on a trip)
    and just some pretty beads cause



    i'm just dissapointed, because i know she will like it, but her bf JUST got her a bracelet a few weeks ago, for a change of commitment deal
    so it will mean more to her to wear his

    a decorated photoalbum with a lot of pictures of me and my friends
    a jar of stars
    origami birds and flowrers

    a friend of mine once made a kind of ' movie' for me and my friends. In this 'movie' she put some highlights of our friendship in it by photos, it was quite sweet :) I think she used Windows Movie maker or something to make it

    i get owned when ever i try to make something >.< ... plus i keep worry'n they won't like it, instead i'll walk around a mall or some kinda market and if i see something that suits that person i'll buy it.

    don't know if this counts but outta my friends i'm usually the one to get the "suprise" (usually b-day) parties going... so if your my friend... expect a suprise b-day ^_^ or i could pull a fast one! and throw it +- a day or two
