Just Because Crafting Goodie Bag!

I am meeting a crafty friend today! I am so super excited! We are meeting at Hobby Lobby, so much fun! I wanted to bring a little "Just Because" gift because she is taking time away from her Family to meet up with me! And since fall is almost in the air here in Arizona, I went with a Fall Theme!



 Handmade flowers:
 Goodies for the inside:

I made the bag using Plantin Schoolbook
Paper from K and Co Fall Harvest
I handmade the flowers using a circle punch, scissors, hot glue, Stickler and bling
I used my Sizzix for the leaves
Recycle ribbon from an old bag
Circle punched the acorn and inked around the edges.
Then stuffed it full of goodies!

Entering into:
Whimsical Wednesday: Fall Colors + Handmade Embellishment

My Craft Spot: Fall Leaves

More than Favors: Fall Theme

A Muse Studio: Handmade Embellishment



Tuesday Throwdown: Fall

    How thoughtful! I wish we could meet to shop. Everything is finally going along smoothly. A routine has been established and the students are great. Now I have time to craft and chat. : )

    Let me know what you get during your shopping trip.
