gift card purse...

Happy Friday (6 days to Christmas!!!).

I hope you are all ready for Christmas. I think I am just about done in the gift area, just few little stocking items to pick up here and there, I am so glad I don't have to hit the crowded stores for mega shopping...that stresses me out!

For today's post...I copied this little purse gift card holder (so cute!) from Debbie Olsen, whose blog I visit daily I might add. She is such a talented crafter!!! I love her creations. Here is the link to her template...I added a handle to mine with some PTI Pure Poppy grosgrain ribbon. I used a velcro fastener to keep it closed. It was pretty easy to assemble, and don't you think it is a cute way to present a gift card?

I also got an exciting email yesterday when I arrived home from work...4 of my cards were selected for the June 09 publication of Papercrafts Magazine. I was pretty excited!!!!

Okay...busy day today...I hope to get my bathrooms

cleaned, finish wrapping presents and then make some

appetizers for the Youth Group Progressive dinner tonight...should be fun!!!

Thanks for visiting!!!! Have a Wonderful Weekend!
