Aw, thanks so much Lavoris!! You are too kind and I appreciate your sweet comment. You are welcome and yes, I will keep it going :-)
Surekha I’m a box addict too! I love creating them! So happy to hear you’re going to give it a try! Keep us posted!
Mary, I’m so tickled that you like. More than that, I’m so so happy that you actually give things a try. I would just die to be sitting at that luncheon and to get a gift like this! Please keep us in the loop and let us know how it goes.
I’ve done thinks like this at a luncheon before and more than 10 years later when we would get together for the same Christmas Luncheon, ladies would say – remember when…. The recipients were so thrilled to get and it was such a pleasure to make it for them. Wishing you luck sweet friend!!
Pam, as always you are so kind and thoughtful! I’m so glad you enjoyed the design – I hope you’ll give it a try!!!
