My friend Grace always gives the best gifts. Her favorite kinds of gifts to receive are more heartfelt and meaningful gifts. I wanted to her birthday gift this year to be a labor of love because she always gives the most thoughtful gifts to me. We watched Avatar: The Last Airbender together this summer and she loved Appa, so I decided to make her an Appa plushie for her birthday. I made the entire thing from scratch and by hand. It took me a really long time to complete, but I am so happy with how it turned out! (The last photo is of me and Grace. She made me an Appa pillow for my birthday after I gave her this so now we both have handmade Appa gifts)
