Heartfeltgreetings

Tonight is the Cathedral Choir church auction! I am really excited to go, it is for a great cause, we always a wonderful time...reconnecting with special friends, eating camp food (I think the menu for tonight is grilled cheese and tomato soup-a camp favorite), and bidding on awesome auction items!

As promised, this is the other item I donated to the cause....a Vera Bradley purse stuffed with 30 handcrafted greeting cards! I found this adorable bag at Marshall's last week and knew it would be the perfect thing to hold all the cards I made. I stuffed it with a little newspaper on the bottom of the purse so the cards would sit up a bit higher and then put sparkly shredded filler on top of that.

I wrapped the cards in two sets of 15 cards each and tied them with a beautiful grosgrain ribbon. Each card is in it's own cellophone envelope so sticky fingers don't mess them up:).

So people knew what they were bidding on, I computer generated a tag that said the following:

Greetings For Girlfriends

A total of 30 handcrafted greeting cards

perfect for sending to your best girlfriends,

nestled in a Vera Bradley handbag.

In this picture, I had the tag tied onto the strap, but in the end, that didn't really work out too well, because the strap kept falling down. So instead, I taped the tag onto a wooden stick and stuck the stick in the filler, in the purse, so it was really easy to see. It was the perfect solution.

Well, today I am hoping to get a little bit of stamping done. I didn't get much done yesterday, {{sigh}}. I am really in the mood to stamp, so I best be movin' along.

Hugs,
Amy
