Today's handmade gift is made for a special friend. Her birthday is today, and she decided since it was the 12th of December in 2012 that she should have a little party for herself. I like people who have parties for themselves... why not? I wanted to bring her something that represented the number 12 and I kept going back to an old shiny brite ornament box I had. The lid was long gone but it had 12 little compartments that just begged to be filled.
Little chalkboard tags, chalk, a small cardboard banner... snowflakes and candy canes...
stamped images for tags, patterned papers...
pompoms and mini Christmas ornaments...
doilies, ribbon and bakers twine fill up the box.
I know the birthday girl and her daughter will think of all sorts of ways to use up the contents.
I topped it off with a Nutcracker tag and some candy, wrapped it in cellophane and it was ready to go.
Great idea!! Happy 12-12-12!
