~ Lovely Package ~

June 13th, 2009 by Holly McMillen

Happy Saturday!

Have you ever just fought with yourself?   Yeah, I already told DH and the boys to take a WIDE path around me as I am either PMSing or the moon is full…lol.

It started when I sought out the Inspiration Challenge this morning.   I woke up too early to begin with, but then I didn’t want to go back to sleep either.   I started surfing the “Lovely Package” website and as awesome as the pieces are, I could NOT settle on one.   Ok, so I figured I was at least inspired enough to create.    Why not just create a “lovely package” of my own?   No problem.

I have had this cute little mini purse/note tote (by Toni Sacrison) bookmarked for some time now and figured this morning would be a good time to give it a shot.  All went well until I tried to find my velcro dots.   Ya know, I HAVE about three packages of those things, but do you think I could find just one this morning??? Nooooooooo!!

So my bag is ‘temporarily’ closed with some foam tape.   I am going to tear that studio apart until I find the darn velcro.   Today is a good day to do it… feeling like I do, It is best that I be left alone..lol.

Thanks for stopping by!   I hope you have a fabulously blessed day!

    This is great, Holly! The Kindergarten teacher both my kids had has a shoe and purse addiction and she would be over the moon to get one of these! Any template available?

    Love the colours you used, the polka dot button is to die for and I love the hanging tag. Great job!! Hope your day gets better and you find those velcro dots :)
