One of my good friends recently got a divorce. And while the divorce was amicable and the process moved fairly quickly, and while my friend was relieved to close that chapter, she was still, understandably, going through the stages of grief.
She moved into her own place and tried to keep her mind off things by decorating and filling up her social life, etc.
One day, several of her friends (me included) received an email from her requesting we send inspirational cards and messages for a bulletin board that would go in her bedroom. This would serve as a visual pick me up that she could read in the times when the divorce seemed to be crushing down on her.
So we did. Below is what I sent. Just putting it here as an idea for someone that may be looking for an easy and fun idea to cheer up someone you care for.
I pulled out a spool of white satin ribbon, a set of Martha Stewart stamp pads and a set of mini alphabet stamps.
With each letter in a different color, I stamped this quote, letter by letter, onto the ribbon:
"Love is the time and space where I give myself the right to be extraordinary."
After the ink dried, I rolled it back up onto the spool so that she could read the message as it unrolled.
I glued on a little note so she'd know this was my contribution for her board.
Wrapped it up in a box... and shipped it off using the printable "please take me to" envelope wrap.
To my dear friend, you are extraordinary. Every day. In every way. Your bravery in being true to yourself and creating the life you want is an inspiration to us all.
Bargain Hoot shows you how to create a beautiful gift box from spray paint and leaves from your yard.
Very creative! And a beautiful result!
I love envelope wraps. Easy to use and they really stand out in a pile of mail.
This one is in my etsy store. Stay tuned... I'll soon be adding a chic chandelier wrap.
Need something special for your next occasion or have an idea for a wrap to use every day? email me!
Got toilet paper rolls, tissue paper, candy, ribbon and paper? You've got easy candy poppers!
