A Tin Full of Goodies!

I posted earlier that I would share the tin and a few of the cards that I made for my niece, Brianna. It's a simple, but appreciated, going away gift for her to take when she leaves for college in a less than a week. She will have a need for birthday, thank you, and misc. cards in the year to come. I've filled the box with 10 birthday, 8 thank you, and 4 misc (2 Moose You included) cards, and made simple dividers with tabs on them to keep them organized. Plain envelopes are stored behind the dividers. All that needs to be done is to purchase the postage stamps that will store in a pocket I made from patterned paper and adhered to the inside of the lid. Her going away party is Saturday, the day we return from our mini vacation. I can't wait to give it to her!

After a Cub Scout den meeting tonight, I'll finally pack for our little trip. Well, my packing anyway, the kids are already done.

Have a FANTASTIC rest of the week!
Valerie
