Delight in the unexpected

Happy Friday! The boys go back to school next week. sniff.... sniff.... It has been a wonderful little vacation with Christmas. We will be taking down our decorations and our tree this weekend. Always sad to take it all down, however just means in 11 months we get to put it all back up. :0) DH went back to work on Tuesday, I think he was ready to go back after 6 straight days at home with us. He gets 4 days off with New Years! hee hee Gotta love it.

Over on the Flourishes Blog today we are focusing on tins. They make great little gifts for friends and not a lot of cost for something unexpected. Here is my tin that I decorated. A few weeks ago I made a matching card for the tin that I will show you below also. The paper is from Kaiser Krafts Miss Nelly pack, very feminine and girlie feeling. I stamped out the sentiment from Life Lines set on the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three and popped it up on Dimensionals.For the flower shadow on the sentiment I used the single flower in Lace and trim. Some white lace trim around the hinged lid, then for a bit of flair I added some prima swirls and pearls to the back panel.
Here is the card that I made to match. The details on the card are found on this post.
