handmade birthday gift

So.  I have this friend who’s a library nerd connoisseur, and also an amazing gift giver.  When the time rolls around for me to gift to her, I try to do something equally as special for her as she does for me.  Sooo … this year for her birthday, I decided to go with a notepaper theme!  I found some great things around the web and for a final touch, decided to make my own notecards.

To make the notecards, I used a plain folded note and stitched the lines on the top of the note … the inside is still plain.  It was super easy and I was happy to add a personal touch to her gift.

I also found a cute notepaper mug, only to have them send me a serving plate instead!  Boo to that!  But they let me keep the plate and sent the mug a few days later.  Personally, I think the mug is way cuter … but now Heather has a little set!  So yay to that! ;)

    Those stiched notecards are such a neat idea — might have to try that one for a project too, thanks for the inspiration!

    Best wishes from Germany,
    Johanna
