A guide to making personalized boxes. A themed shadowbox is a wonderful gift for a golf enthusiast and is easy to make. Also, a golf shadowbox lends itself to personalization, guaranteeing a thoughtful gift. Personalization is easy because of the many variants involved in making a shadowbox. In addition to the objects displayed, the box itself, the background, and the position of the trinkets can all be customized to add significance to the gift. For example, if the recipient loves a certain vintage of wine, try using the wooden wine case as the frame. Or, a simple frame from a craft store can be macraméd with clippings from golf magazines or newspaper headlines from golf tournaments. Even an unadorned frame can be chosen to match the recipient's office or study. The background of the shadowbox is also a place to personalize the gift. Scorecards can make a wonderful background - choose the recipient's favorite local golf course or maybe even order a scorecard from Pebble Beach or another famous course. A picture of a favorite golfer, a snapshot from a memorable member-guest tournament, or a postcard from a golf resort can also be background images. If the shadowbox has more of a whimsical feel, faux grass could be a humorous backdrop for a light-hearted golfer. When choosing a background, remember that the objects in the box will significantly cover it, so do not be too disappointed when it is not the centerpiece of the gift. The most important part of creating the shadowbox is selecting the trinkets to include. Again, it is easy to personalize even the most standard golf tokens. A golf ball can be the recipient's favorite brand (most golfers are very loyal to a particular ball), and many golfers add some sort of personal mark to their balls. For example, women may use a dab of nail polish, die-hards may use their golf-ball-initializing gadget, or some may choose to use only a certain color ball. No matter what the variation, the recipient certainly has golf ball preferences that can be included. If the shadowbox is meant to memorialize a golf trip, using that golf club's paraphernalia is another easy way to make the gift special. For instance, golf balls, ball markers, divot-repairers, and many other small items are labeled by golf clubs. Any of these trinkets can signify the trip. If the shadowbox has a more open design (versus smaller compartments), larger items like a golf glove can fit in the frame. Mementos like a golf glove or even the grip portion of an old club can be particularly poignant if the shadowbox is created as a tribute to a parent who golfed. Other ideas for golf trinkets include tees, a spike from a golf cleat, and any sort of item that symbolizes a hole-in-one day (a piece of the shirt worn, the ball itself, etc). Most golfers enjoy the people they meet through golf as much as the sport itself, so tokens that represent golf friends would also be a nice touch: a cigar for the man that always smokes at the 19th hole with his buddies or a playing card for the woman who also plays bridge with her ladies nine-hole group. Lastly, evaluate the significant items chosen to be in the shadow box and decide the best method to display them. If small trinkets dominate the group, consider using the pigeonhole style layout of many small compartments with tokens resting on the shelves. If, however, larger items like golf gloves or a golf club head are in the mix, look towards the open layout where items are pinned or attached to the back of the box. While generic golf gifts abound in malls and catalogs, a golf shadowbox is a tribute to the golf enthusiast. Whether it is to commemorate a trip or just the weekend pastime, a shadowbox is a wonderful gift.

Christmas Gift

Gift Alternatives Gift Alternatives Jesus would approve. We often buy gifts for people who are not in any real need of material things. Our love for that person though, needs to be expressed in some way. We can write a poem, draw a picture, or give a simple gift we've made. Here are some creative ideas that can help bring about the justice and peace Jesus lived and died for ... We might ask ourselves thequestion, "What would Jesus do?" What ways would Jesus encourage us tocelebrate his birthday? He gave everything he had to those in need. He livedand died for the poor and the powerless. He called his disciples to express theirgratitude for what they'd received by sharing what they had wtih others. So I've supplieda variety of links consistent with the kind of life Jesus lived. We can make adonation in the name of a person we'd ordinarily buy a gift for. In most cases, thegroup will even send a gift card. Many of us receive money for Christmas andBirthdays as well. We might see fit to use some of the money we receive forChristmas to make a donation. Here are a few links ... The Heifer Project Give the gift of a heifer, water buffalo, llama, goat,sheep, pig, trees, rabbits, bees, chicks, ducks or geese. Your donation will givesuch a gift to a needy family. A cow will provide milk for the need of the family,and the extra milk can be sold to help with education expenses, etc. Each familythat receives such a gift also promises the first born offspring to another needy familyin their area. That family promises the same, so the gift goes on giving! Fora larger gift, an "Ark," thirty families will be helped. For a smallergift, you could join with others to make your gift of an animal or some trees! TheHeifer Project will send a free gift card in your name as well! Bread for the World Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian movement that seeks justice for theworlds hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision-makers. Stop at their WebSite for more information. Why not give the gift of a membership? Student,Individual, Family and a variety of other memberships are available. Birthright Birthright provides caring, non-judgmental supportto girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy. Using our own resourcesand those of the community, Birthright provides positive and loving alternatives toabortion. Birthright provides many services, including friendship and emotional support,free pregnancy tests, legal, medical, and financial assistance, assistance with housing,referral to social agencies, and maternity and baby clothes. Birthright treats each womanas an individual who deserves kindness and respect, as well as personal attention to herunique situation. And all Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, andavailable to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, economic or marital status. You may wish to donate to Birthright International, or to a center near you. TheWeb Site above will help you find the center nearest you. Don't you think a donation would be a Christmasgift Jesus would approve of Catholic Relief Services Why not help the victims of Hurricane Mitch. In over 80 countries throughout Africa,Asia, Europe and Latin America, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) serves the poor byproviding emergency and long-term assistance based on need, not creed, race ornationality. CRS has earned its strong reputation for monitoring the human conditionand working with the poor to identify and implement solutions that work. CRS staff bringsknowledge and expertise from a variety of development experiences to their work. And CRSworks to strict standards of efficiency and accountability, with over 90% of support goingdirectly to programs in the field. Where there is hardship in the world, CatholicRelief Services is there. You can make a donation to help the victims of aparticular disaster as well. AmnestyInternational The Universal Declaration of HumanRights recognizes the inherant dignity and equal unalienable rights of all members of thehuman family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace throughout the world. Amnesty Internatioal stands up for human rights all over the world. It speaksout for prisoners as well, making an issue of false imprisonment and unjust treatment. It's the only voice for so many who are powerless. Amnesty Internationalkeeps us aware of human rights issues all over the world, and helps us to see how we canhelp to make things better. Become a member or give a membership. And sign theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights at the Amnesty International Web Site! Food Pantries andLocal Charities There are many other wonderfulcharities as well. Perhaps you could contribute to an effort sponsored by your ownChurch, or the food pantry, home for unwed mothers or other worthy cause in your ownarea. It's always good to ask, "What would Jesus do?" He'dhelp. We can, too! This appears on the Web Site of Father Pat's Place . You are visitor since 29 November 1998
