A Lovely Banner ~

As I sat down to write the last of my b-day thank you notes, I thought about how special getting a handwritten note or card is ~ truly I have saved every one. I'm not the best note sender ~ to be fair they do get written, but for some unknown reason they hang around waiting to get mailed! If I make one New Years resolution it will be to get those notes in the mail quick~er! All these thoughts of cards got me thinking it's been a while since I created a banner kit. So, I dug through my stash of old mismatched decks and came up with this...

~ Tokens of Love ~
a Banner & Card Kit

Isn't that sweet, all packaged in a heart shaped tin ready to make for yourself or to give as a gift to someone special.

My favorite part ~ how sweet is this little heart ~ it makes me giddy!
It's always about the little things...and the sweet tiny details, don't you think?

You'll be able to spread the love because there's lots of extras in there to embellish all your love notes.

If you are local, I'll be hosting a class this Sunday from 1:00 - 4:00 and we'll be making these and other Love Notes ~ right before the big kick-off!

Big hug ~
