Saturday was go-go-go from the time I opened my eyes in the morning. I was done grocery shopping by 8am. I worked on a lot of crafts, took my mom to Wal*Mart, made dinner for a sick friend and did boatloads of laundry.
The first craft I did was finish up the second part of a swap I'm in. I made these party favors - supposed to be for a kid's birthday party. My first time trying the paper around the tube thing and they are not perfect. But heck, they're going to strangers - how good do they have to be? LOL I think the concept is good - just need to work on my execution. I'll be doing the same thing for D's class for Valentine's - think I'll forego the paper...not sure, I'll figure something out though.
And this little beauty - don'tcha love it? Dawn made me one of these I think about 2 years ago? I have it right here on my desk still. And people are always talking about "the Target mailboxes". I found a tutorial online and with the exception of one little glitch, it came out super cute! I tested this one with the intent to give it to K even if it came out jacked up. But it didn't - I love it - and I can't wait to fill it with goodies and give it to her on Valentine's Day!
And last but not least - I worked on this card last night. Notice anything different about it? Notice some stitching goin' on there? That's right - I SEWED! Unbelievable!! I love the look of cards that have stitching on them and again thought I should give it a shot. Not bad for my first effort, eh?

They're all so cute! You're just a crafting ace these days! ;)
I remember Dawn's mailboxes, they were super cute too!
Love, love, love that mailbox - it's the cutest thing yet, aside from the card w/the deer on it.
I don't like Wal*Mart either, for both reasons. I had to go there after Christmas, and that experience only reaffirmed why I don't shop there. To each her own!
I LOVE the mailbox!!! Please send me the instructions!!! Your sewing is awesome! Great job on both cards : ) FYI, I don't shop at Wal-Mart either. Target all the way, baby!
