Map Wrap

I recently participated in a Collection Trade over at oh, hello friend. My trade partner sent me the sweetest package! We were encouraged to creatively wrap our gift and I'd say she did just that...

from the use of the decoupaged map wrapping...

to the sweet ribbon and scallop edge kraft paper...

and the charming little hand-written tag...

The surprise was nestled safely inside...

A lovely pitcher to add to my collection.

Yep...she did it! Thank you Gabi!

Valentine Banner Printable

Here is a little quick & easy valentine banner. I used some red rick rack, but I think it would look cute using ribbon, too. Download here (click on file and download original, due to the fact that I don't know how else to do this just yet), print onto cardstock, trim, punch holes in the corners and string with rick rack or ribbon. Get ready for some L-O-V-E ! !

Two of my favorite colors....pink and turquiose. These 2 pots are sitting on my desk. I guess it's about time to put away the Christmas bulbs!
