Personalised Wedding Plaque Keepsake

Using pyrography and 2 very cute little ceramic resin teddies I made this personalised wedding keepsake plaque as a wonderful gift to give to a bride and groom.


Personalised Wedding Keepsake Plaque



It costs £10.

The oval solid wood plaque is 21cm wide, 9cm high and 13mm thick.

It makes a wonderful keepsake and gift to give to the newly weds.
The plaque is personalised with the bride and grooms details, date of the wedding, and place. It also has "Congratulations on your Wedding Day" on.
Ceramic bride and groom teddies, which are appox. 5cm tall, are added also to the plaque.
Hanging twine is added and your choice of gingham or heart ribbon.

Facebook Challenge

My friend challenged me to see if I could reach 300 facebook 'likers' by Sunday afternoon!
I'm currently at 291 so it's very close! Will it be a case of 'so near but so far'.

Can you help me? If you can please 'like' my facebook page

Also, on the left hand side under the logo on my facebook page is a 'suggest to friends' button. Can you invite friends to follow the page using that link, then hopefully I might make the target with a few over too!

Many thanks to anyone that can help, it's much appreciated.

I'm going to put a discount code on my facebook page if I make it, as a huge thank you!

Reviews and in the Press

I am delighted that Samigail's Handmade Personalised Gifts has been featured in reviews and also in a craft start up guide.

Our latest review is on Iconic Gifts website. I am delighted to have had 2 products chosen for review on this site, Sunny Rag Doll and the Father Plaque. To see the review please click here

Being interviewed for the first time was exciting and nerve-racking all at the same time! However, I was really pleased that my comments and experiences setting up and running Samigail's were featured in a craft start-up guide and hope anyone thinking of the same finds the guide useful.

Finally, another recent review was for a teacher gift plaque - another glowing review!

Personalised Fairy / Princess Wands




After a long wait for the wands (which I was just itching to get my hands on) they have finally arrived and I have had a lot of fun thinking of how to decorate them.

The wooden wands are approximately 27 cm long (point of star to end of stick) with a wooden star measuring 7cm (point to point). The star is 9mm thick.

My daughter (showing the wand in action in the photo!) has loved hers from the moment she set eyes on it and has been round and round the garden turning everything and anything into frogs with her magic spell, ending with a dramatic "Kazoom!".

The wording on the wand is entirely flexible. They could be used for any number of present ideas - birthday gifts, flower girl thank you gifts, or even classroom gifts with the name of the class on one side and eg "This week's star" on the other.

The wands are £5.50 each and are found here

It's interesting to see what words the children will come up with to describe their daddy.... I gave them the word FATHER and told them to come up with a word for each of the letters in the word..... now it could have been disastrous, but they came up with lovely ones which I then turned into a plaque for them. Since it turned out quite well I decided it should be included on the website.



What do you think... didn't they come up with great words (son is 6, daughter is 4)

Samigail's has a gorgeous range of new gifts.... some personalised soft toys.

There is a super soft cuddly meerkat for all those meerkat fans, a rag doll who's name is "Sunny" and as you will see she truly suits her name, a ballerina rag doll for all ballet fans, and an amazingly gorgeous teddy.

They are all personalised by adding a wooden tag which has your message burned onto it by pyrography.

Please take a look - here's the link.... Samigail's new personalised soft toys
