Gift card holder!





Isn't this so cute! Simple but cute! Tanner reminded me that he had a birthday party to go to in the morning and I really didn't want to go to the store, so I made this gift card holder. Only, it's holding money! Nope, I have never done anything like this before. I do know that if I had to do it over I would do some things differently. Like do it a lot quicker because I've done it before! (Sheesh, it took forever!) And I'd start with colored cardstock. I sponged the solid color on the lid. It looks really good too! Hmmmm....maybe I'm unlocking my creative side. I sure was scared that I'd lost it. (You know the story about losing one's talents if you don't use them.) I haven't done creative things in so long because I've been pregnant or dealing with small children for the last 20 years. ( I know, I can't believe it myself) I feel like I'm coming out a long slumber. And I love it!!! And I know that as I do it, I'll get better and better. Whoo hoo!
Side note: Kelvin's surgery is tomorrow. Pray for him. We need him around for a long time. (And we kinda love him too!)

Still praying. Everything will be fine tomorrow. Now go get some sleep. I noticed the hour you posted this!
