Since I "moved" to WY just a few days after my nieces b'day I had every intention of giving her a present. I was pretty sure that I'd placed it in a drawer so that it would be easy to find. When she was helping us unload the truck I even told her that I had a present for her. Well, now it's been a few weeks and I still hadn't found it so I went to plan b. The last two times I saw her she was wearing a silk flower hairclip that I gave her for Christmas 2009 so of course that won me over and I decided to give her another hair accessory. This rosette was mostly sewn so all I had to do was add the clip and finish it off. I couldn't find my premade origami boxes but I did know where my stack of 12 x 12 paper is so I made the box. The "tag" is actually an old business card. I added a brad to it and just ran my marker around the edge and wrote on it with my sharpie. Walked over and delivered it lastnight and she loved it so now I won't have that weighing me down any longer. haha. It actually felt great to make a present. I really love doing that and with my craft supplies still half packed I haven't been working on anything lately and I really miss it. Hopefully I'll be organized enough again soon to start crafting again and get back in the swing of things.
