As I wrote in my last post I wanted my reveal to be extra special so I didn’t want to send ‘just a card’. I had spotted an item while blog surfing earlier in December that I wanted to make so that’s what I did for Sonia except mine was made using Not Quite Navy and again I’ve use the gorgeous Bella Bleu DSP.
This is a 4 drawer unit (1 on each side) with an Easel card on the top. I’ve teamed it with the Friends 24-7 stamp set and coordinating Friendly Words jumbo wheel.
Here’s the back view.
I wanted Sonia to be able to use this so I decided not to write on it. I packed this up with lots of bubble wrap and tissue paper to fill the postage box for protection and then included a little note inside the top of the box for Sonia. I told her how happy I was to have been her Secret Sister for this round and how much I’ve enjoyed making the gifts for her and her family. I then went on to tell her she’d have to find the post-it note on the final item for the reveal. I didn’t hide it in a difficult spot so don’t worry she didn’t have to pull all the drawers out, but I did think about it….hahaha. Inside each of the drawers was a little something extra for her. One had some Dove choccies, another had a sample of Playground buttons and another had the Sherbert buttons and the final one …..boy I can’t remember. I’m sure it was either something nice to eat or something for Sonia to use……hahaha.
Well that’s the last of my gifts for this round of Secret Sister for ESAD-SU. I’m still participating in one for Stampin’ Up in Oz which ends in February so I’ll be able to share those items in March.
Till next time…..
Happy Stamping
The final draw had a bundle of 2010 calendars. Which was really cool, because the following day when you put your video tutorial up, I had all the ingredients.
Thanks once again for being my SS. I loved each and every card and gift you sent to me.
You have inspired me in so many ways.
Cheers
Sonia
