Part 2First I sent Laurie a "Expressions in a Bottle" to let her know her box was arriving soon. I thought this would be a extra fun Surprise for Laurie!!!
Then I sent her the Box I made, Painted, Trimmed in Vintage Trims, and lined with Vintage Fabric. Yes, I even added Vintage Spools that I painted, tied bows, flowers onto and added as little feet. Then more fun, stuffing it with Lollia, French Soaps, a Silk Rose Brooch etc. It was so much fun!!
Thank~You Again Cathy!!

What a neat way to make it special more than once for the girl you got. I will have to remember that for the easter one I am going to do. Send one thing ahead of the rest. Cool
