They returned home today and I have made her a card and decorated a gift bag to match. The bag has 2 little 6x6 paper pads (she is a card maker too), colourful stick pins, and some paper ribbon that goes with. I tucked in a gift card to her favourite scrapbook store so she could also get something that was more just what she wanted!.
It is a little different than my usual style...but Lisa is a "just do it" type of girl. She shurns out cards like nobody's business. I am usually like the turtle and the hare, compared to her. She will be quite proud of me as I followed her cue and "just got her done"
It is now 30 degrees inside my house and I am going out to do some yard work in the garden...preferably in a shady corner of the garden. Seems like there is always something to deadhead. I really need to be cutting back some of the earlier flowering daylillies but they seem to have one blossom left on each! I think they are resisting the final showdown with the scissors!

OK, 30 degrees in your house got my attention, typo or you either like a very cold house! I need to get out in the yard too, but keep putting it off, our hosta stems need to be cut off along with the day lilies! Loved your gift bag for your friend, you did a fabulous job on it and I am sure she will love that GC! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

Hi Mo with reference to you questions about the box card in the UK you can get box envelopes to post them in and the card opens like a regular card, so you can write inside as normal. I have made mine slightly different from this as it's bigger but here are the original instructions I used.

Hope the information is of some help, have a go and let me know how you get on.

Hi there, sorry it's been a long time between visits - daughter is still off on school holidays, back in just over two weeks! Then I become a regular visitor again.
Wonderful cards since I was here last - love the wedding one, sooo pretty.
Great wedding pics as well - I like to look at wedding pictures, makes me all sentimental.
Great bargains as well, like to look at bargains pics also, don't make me sentimental though - just green with envy!!!!!!!!
