Happy Halfway-There Day, Dolls!
Oh man, I am so behind on getting birthday gifts out. I mean wayyyy behind. I used to be so good about these things before I had kids. Now being Super Mom is my #1 priority, so unfortunately other things get moved down on the list. It doesn't mean I love these friends or family members any less, it just means, well, that my little family is numero uno with me and I'll get to things when I get to them. This past weekend I was going over the list of all the things I am behind on. I feel more bad about some than others - LOL I have a really wonderful cousin in New Mexico and she's really good about remembering our birthdays and special occasions. Well I looked at the list and noticed that March was one of her daughters' birthday, April was her birthday, and May was her other daughter's birthday. Yeah. That's me with the big L on my forehead: LOSER. So I got them some really great birthday gifts - spent more than I normally would, and then I also whipped up this little gift bag set for her and I'll send her some of my cards too. I don't know about you, but I'm totally cool with getting a way-late birthday present surprise in the mail - riiiiight?
I bought these little gift bags at {gasp} Walmart. Set of (4) of them for $1.50 (I used the other one for another birthday already). Patterned papers and embellies by American Crafts, stamp, ribbon and ink by Papertrey Ink and just some simple stitching around the frame.
A couple of sidenotes.
Courtney's got that amazing yellow ruffled ribbon back in stock. So hit the shop before it sells out. She's also got some fabby orange linen ribbon that I think is pretty hot as well.
And - are you following along with all the latest sneak peeks? HERE is a hot one from American Crafts, and HERE is a hot one from Cosmo Cricket.
Off to work on another late gift - LOL
