We're meeting up with my husbands siblings/spouses at our local diner for lunch today to celebrate the new year. I always enjoy making little favors for people, so I found an old DCWV 12x12 pad of card stock and decided this was the perfect occasion to use it. I chose the pieces that are silver and black with glitter and made little "bags" to hold a lottery ticket and a coordinating matchbook with a Ghiradelli candy inside. Oops! I tied up all the bags without taking photos of the matchbooks! The image is from SU! Antique tags - I've had it for years but never used it, so I finally got it inky. I colored it with markers and die-cut it along with a colorful mat with Gina Marie Designs postage stamp dies. I made 2 blue, 2 pink, and 2 red and tied them all up with some sparkly silver ribbon.
Here they are, ready to go. Sorry for the wonky photos - we have no sunshine today, had none yesterday and I don't think we had any the day before yesterday either, so this was taken with my overhead dining room light and it didn't help to brighten the photos at all unfortunately.
I hope you all had a safe and fun New Year's eve celebration last night. I was in bed by 10 (party pooper I know) but I've ushered in enough new years in my lifetime to know that it's always the same song and dance - just with different characters putting on the show and new numbers for the new year :) Note to self * write 2020 on the first few checks in the checkbook
May you all have a happy, healthy and blessed new year in 2020. For those who are dealing with ill health, sadness, or loss;
I hope you find peace and comfort in the new year as well.
One foot in front of the other - just breathe!
