I hope you have had a good weekend. I enjoyed a visit from Cheryl who did a stamping up demo for us. We all really enjoyed the day and I loved the make and takes we did. Thanks Cheryl for coming over to Orange , I enjoyed the weekend, but getting too old for such late nights lol
The last week I have been putting together a little something for one of my Pen Pals. I decided I would make a little something for each day of the week. So for 7 days my friend could pull out a gift from the package with a little message for the day ( and no peeking at the rest ! yeah I know I would peek )
So these are her little gifts for the days
I have pegged a peppermint tea to the back of the tag
this one I pegged a recipe on the back. A very yummy one that is probably extremely bad for you , but oh so yummy !
With this one , when the envelope is opened up , it is filled with little butterflies
Sometimes this one is hard to do.
I also made one that I have already sealed up in a little envelope. It is a little card I made that had a window filled with sequins and sparkle and said "Leave a bit of sparkle wherever you go "
So there you have it. Maybe I have given you some ideas for a little something extra to put with a gift or just to send someone a happy thought for the day.
I also made this into a little notebook for her and put this on the cover
I have four pen pals. Three overseas girls and one Aussie. It is such a lovely positive thing to be part of. I really enjoy writing to them and receiving mail from them. It brightens a day .
A couple of photos from our day with Cheryl
The strawberry jam on the scones was sent to me from my pen pal. Handmade strawberry jam and it was Delicious , it is nearly all gone, didn't last long , it was soooooo good .
And some of the gang.
Love, Peace and Happiness
