In the Mail

I made a few (very few) treat bags for Valentine's.

Conversation hearts with Spanish writing.

Shiny Cardboard hearts from Swan and Shears.

Scalloped Corrugated paper, pink tag, heart, and staples all from Swan and Shears.

Wish tickets I had on hand from long ago when 100 Wishes was still in business.

Scissors punch from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Red/white striped bowl from Swan and Shears.

Add another red heart and...

...tuck it all into a clear bag and fasten with a cute little fastener from Swan and Shears.

This bag of valentines is on it's way to France!!

Leftover candy made a fun but very short-lived centerpiece on the dining room table.

Did you get any fun Valentine's in the mail this year??

Fun Etsy Package

The set of vintage, brass stencils I acquired from a friend, who bought them at a school auction we both attended, was missing a few letters.  So I browsed Etsy to see if I could find the ones I needed to complete my set.  I found all but one in the same shop:)  I needed the D,N,E, and A.  This seller Panache Papergoods  had them all but the A.  She also had the number 7 I needed but I forgot to take a picture if it.

She had 3 e's so I got them all!  Big Sister was delighted to have one of her own.

The packaging was just delightful!  I love great packaging!  AND she included this J for free, along with some neat ephemera papers, and 2 playing cards that are number 7!!

Love this stuff.  I've already used the shaped ledger paper on a card for a gift.  And the number 7 cards are displayed on my 'craft cupboard'.  Gotta love those sellers who go the extra mile to make you feel great about your purchase!
