It's Sunday which means...

it's time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge.  This week we are all about  the sentiment and I focused on Spring since it's the official first day of it!    Oh so happy about this!  I love warmer weather and I already pulled out a few sandals to start getting ready for those sock less days. 

Today, I am sharing an altered monochromatic  matchbox that I made as little gift box.  My primarily color being orange with a hint of blue.  The sentiment is from this set found here.  It's a Raindropecho. I printed on white cardstock then cut my pennant banner and inked the edges with a Quick Quotes Blue Hawaiian ink.    I covered the box with  scraps of Sassafras Lass papers, added a matching cloud sticker with foam dots, some golden rhinestones, and a button to complete.  Inside I tucked lots of orange goodies for a friend.  Love it when I can use tiny pieces of paper up.  :-)

I also started to dabble in stringing.  I made this necklace and loved it at first but not so sure now.  I am going back and forth.  I wore it last night for my date night with Simon. 

We had fun going out.  We enjoyed a nice meal and listened to some live music.  When we had our picture taken, I forgot to move my hair so the necklace would be viewable.  My dear friend, Terresa makes the leather beaded bracelet I am wearing.  I love it so!  I wear it constantly. 

Okay, off to babysit the furry little brother.  He's ever demanding with constant attention required, aka, petting him.  Makes it hard to type and pet him at the same time.  :-) 

Have a blessed Sunday!
