Gift Giving

How often do you guys make 3-D projects? They kind of intimidate me! Lots of planning and scoring and folding oh my. It gets intense. So I got really excited when I saw all the cool 3-D downloads on the Silhouette Store. I had to try some!

My Mom has a drawer in the laundry room full of little gifts so she's always prepared. I've gained that same habit and now love having cute packaging around too. These two projects would be great for quick and impressive gifts. Seriously, I will take anything wrapped in this lattice box!

We always have gift cards lying around, and they make great thank you gifts. This box is the perfect size for them! It doesn't even need embellishing with that lovely lid, but I thought I would play a little anyway.

Our giveaway today is absolutely fantastic! We have a Rhinestone Starter Kit for you! I know you all love a little bling, so don't be shy. To enter, leave a comment telling us what has been wonderful about your week! This giveaway ends Sunday at midnight. And don't forget to go to the Silhouette Blog for a free download of the shapes from my projects monday!

  2. The wonderful thing about this week is that I got to see my family. We live a long way away from them so we drove 2 full days to see them. The kids are having fun!

  3. I guess the cutest thing would be that my almost 7-year old said that she had to let go of her tooth fairy pillow and roll over (at 5am this morning...she had been holding tight to it ALL night) so that the tooth fairy could leave her a dollar!

  4. My wonderful week started off with a family reunion on Sunday. I was reunited with cousins I have not seen in over 30 years, and some I had never met.
    Monday was our 13th anniversary!!
    Tuesday was the kids last day of school and we booked our summer vacation to Ohio!
    Can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings!

  14. My week is especially good as I've had a chance to spend time with my 2-year old grandson this week. I just love watching him discover his world, and then try to tell us about it with his ever growing vocabulary. He just makes me smile out loud!!

  27. Actually this week has been pretty rough for us. But I guess the best thing about it would have to be that even though my hubby is far away, the kids and I can still talk to him over the phone :) thank you

  28. I have been feeling slightly dizzy for the last week. I guess I either have low blood pressure or am a little anemic. Anyway, the summer cold which hit me early this week, was just wonderful: I don't feel that little dizzything anymore: my mind is occupied with the feeling of having an exploding forehead, jaws and teeth hurting and making sure I have enough paper tissues around.

    Thank you, summer cold. It even hurts to put foundation on my face!
