Some junk for Jen

Just thought I'd share what I sent to Jen for our little swap. This is what was in Box 1. A yo-yo G. Jen loves G's so a monogram is a must in every swap!! She is helping out my collection of R's too!! I made Jen a tassel she could display everyday. I embellished a towel with a bird on a branch, sent her some of those eggs I posted about here. A nest sign, a bird plaque and few other goodies rounded out this box.

Here are the eggs. They are so pretty in person. I think my photography skills{or lack of} don't quite show their beauty adequately. Once they were all dry, I tied pink velvet ribbon and brown seam binding on. I also snipped the back of some vintage screw on earrings and glued them on. You could also use buttons.

The bird and branch were cut out on my cricut using the Storybook font. That is probably my personal favorite font!! The skeleton key came from the local hardware store and was brass originally. Nothing a little spraypaint can't help!!

The sign...Again, I used the Storybook font on my cricut. Love that thing!! Get it from Wal-Mart, though, the big one is much less than at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Here is the bird tassel. If you want to make your own, you can click here.

The yo-yo G. Jen loves green so it was an obvious choice to use for the yo-yo's and frame.

I love making things for people that I know will appreciate them!!
