Happy Birthday!
Birthday gifts for my friend Val. Honey made the crate with wood from a pallet. I love the distressed nail holes. It came out fabulous. I filled it with crafting goodies and a mason jar drinking glass. I had fun packaging it.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Gifts for my grandchildren to give to their teachers.
I bought one of the reusable cups and a gift card for each of them.
I put the gift cards in a drawstring bag from the $1.50 bins at Michaels.
I made a tag and packaged it all together.

New Craft Table
Honey did a beautiful job making a new table top from reclaimed wood.  I love how beautiful it turned out. I am a lucky woman.

My friend Valerie found this pretty ugly  worn cabinet door at the flea market. She knew I would love it so she picked it up and surprised me with it. After a little cleaning, sanding, painting and waxing, it has turned from Shab to Fab! Thanks Val!!

Mother's Day gift wrap

Happy Mother's Day
 
My mother's gift was rather large. I wrapped it in brown kraft paper and used tulle to make the roses. To make the leaves, I used tattered leaves die cut from Tim Holtz. I folded them and used brown ink at the creases.

Pretty little cloche

Michaels had these pretty little cloches. They did not come with a base.
Not to worry. Honey to the rescue. Don't you just love the wooden bases
he turned for me. They are perfect for my little rusty oil cans.

Gift wrapping a gift card


Gift Cards

 
Sometimes giving a gift card seems impersonal. I think taking the time to present the gift card in a pretty package it makes it special.
