Mustaches and something different


When I saw the Many Mustaches ala carte stamp in the new catalog...knew I had to get it!  Nothing is quite as much fun as a mustache on a stick!  Friends of a friend recently lost their home to a devastating fire, and I wanted to send the family (mom/dad and three sons) a card of encouragement.  Then I thought...maybe they could use a little fun and silliness???  So I cased the card in the new catalog and voila!
 



Sorry for the poor pictures!  I  kept the card pretty simple and will write a note inside explaining just what these are!  Hopefully they will have a little fun with them!  I tried to persuade my dog to model one but he would not go for it.



And if that is not different enough, I attended a retreat last Saturday held by a friend of my sister's and wanted to bring something a little different as a crafty gift.  She has been the recipient of many of my paper crafts so I thought a little something for her and her guests would be fun.  I painted river rocks with acrylic paint and used a paint pen to write different inspirational words on them.  I had the paint and the pens, and the rocks were only $1 a bag at Michaels!  This bowl has two bags of rocks.  


Hope all is well in your part of the world!

  4. Hi Lauri!

    First of all, your mustache cards made me smile! I LOVE that stamp. It is already on my next order, for sure. Those rocks are awesome, too! What a great idea! The bright colors are fabulous...at first I thought they were cookies. Haha! Can you tell I have baked goods on the mind? I have to try this idea out. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hugs! :)

  5. Both the cards and rocks are both such thoughtful gifts. How tragic to lose your house to fire. I can't even imagine bouncing back from that. What a sweet way to let them know you care. Hope you are well! Best, Curt
