Crafts I made for Christmas

Way back in the '80's I always made homemade Christmas gifts. This year I started up again.  For most of the girls I made a purse organizer.  I found this website: http://thegivingflower.de/?p=920 and followed  her directions. Of course, empty, with no explanation, no one was able to guess what it was, which was funny. I also made another gift for my mom which puzzled her. I don't even know what to call it. I saw one at a friend's house and just copied it. I found a pretty picture frame at a thrift store, took out the print, glass and backing. Cut a bulletin board to the same size as the backing and inserted it into the frame, after covering it with a loose weave fabric. Then I bought some pearl beaded straight pins and put a few of them on it, to give her a clue. It can be used to hang your jewelry up on. It looks pretty on the wall and is useful. But what to call it? Any ideas? I also made curtains for my granddaughters' bedroom. I think I caught the crafting bug again. I have so many ideas floating around in my mind and I am anxious to get going on them. Even in my little RV, I find a corner to stash my stuff. I also have a daughter living close by who lets me keep my sewing machine at her house. That's a big help. This RV is too small to set one up.
