Hi, everyone! I had a BLAST shopping this weekend! I'm almost completely done with my Christmas shopping, I found some great deals and fun goodies at Archiver's, and I still have money left in my account after IKEA! Next Monday is my niece/goddaughter's birthday, and I wanted to do something memorable for her special day. I came up with the idea of creating a countdown to Christmas. I'm organizing 24 small gifts--one for her to open each day from Dec. 1-24. I'm putting the whole thing in an over-the-door shoe organizer (which conveniently has 24 pockets).
I thought I'd show you one of the treats I made for her--a simple bookmark in its own little holder. "M" loves bright colors, so I'm sure she'll like it. What do you think?
Stamps: Making the Grade (Cornish Heritage Farms)
Paper: Sweeth Blush, BasicGrey dp
Ink: Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: BasicGrey button, American Crafts Thickers, Nestabilities circles, SU Spiral punch, Michaels & Hobby Lobby ribbons
