September for me is a birthday ONSLAUGHT!!!! If I told you how many family/friends/relos etc had birthdays in September.....you would not believe me. Consequently I am FLAT chat trying to get cards and gifts done for all. Over the next couple of posts I am going to share some of the co-ordinating gifts I started the month with.
Miss Niece turned 13. Now as all of you with girls know, this is a FANTASTIC age (not) to buy for. Of course, Aunty Lynda did not wish to "dag-out" also. I had a dig around in my crypt of projects and found a delightful box fm the incredibly talented Makeesha Byl here. Perfect for something small and personal. I also recently aquried the Inspired by Nature stamp set and was hanging to try it out. Now Miss 13 is a very girly girl, so I went for (gasp) PINK and dulled it down a bit with Rose Red. Here's what I came up with....
The card....
The box.....
And the most surprising thing for me....was what I could fit inside.....
It's amazing the little treasures you find when you look closely at the shelves in stores. The box contained a 25g bar of Dove Beauty soap, a 50ml bottle of Lux bodywash and a tube of Vanilla scented lip frosting...perfect I thought for a girly girl.....Oh yeah...and of course some Lindt Chocolates!! What do you think??
Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back with a variation on a theme later.
