This is one of the paper purses from a bundle of 6 different little paper purse ideas. Of course you can mix and match the patterns and accessories and make many different paper purses/gift bags. I made this BABY one by using the purse, bear, bow and baby bottle. It's wonderful for a little gift and/or a gift card for a new baby boy.

Here's what our backyard looks like.

Coffee

Yup, another SNOW DAY for me !

In Paradise, Newfoundland we got 75 cm of snowflakes !!! (that's equivalent to almost 30 inches)

So that means some more ME time in my craft room.

Oh, for the love of COFFEE !

This is a nice card to add a sweet note to invite a friend to join you for coffee. Or you could send a loving note and tuck a gift card (Starbucks) inside.
