I have always loved giving gifts ... even more than I like receiving them. I love the feeling of finding something that I know will be absolutely perfect for the people dear to me in my life. I even have a 'gift closet' in my home where I keep all of the fun things that I have found. Sometimes I save them for birthdays and holidays ... other times I send them 'just because'.
On my Chicago Road trip, I found some Autumn Leaves stamps at Scrapaganza! that just screamed ... we should be living at Lauren's house ... so of course I had to oblige their wishes and bring them home.
So today in my mailbox, I received the 'first of many' bird and crown cards created by dear Lauren with the stamps that now live at her house. How adorable is this card ... I tell you, it's impossible to capture all of the amazing detail ... rub-ons, glitter, layers, faux stitching ... and of course, lots of shiny bling.
And she even thought to stamp on the inside flap of the envelope (why haven't I ever thought of that??). What a wonderful little treat when you open it up.
Thanks Lauren for giving these stamps such a great home.
