Gifts are crafting too!

I spend a lot of time making little cards or gifts for people at work, and I never think to post them as part of my collection of messes.  Well today I just couldn't help myself!  I LOVE this basket I made for a bridal shower at work and I must share!  First thing I am going to do is apologize for the pictures!  I didn't take them with sharing in mind...but we're messy right!?  So we are rolling with it!

The theme of this shower is "Firsts".  Each group of us was responsible for creating a basket to go with a particular first the couple will have when they are married.  Some groups had first vacation, first Thanksgiving, first baby...but we got first fight!
I must admit my mind when straight to the making up part...but it really is all in the presentation.  Here is what I ended up with!

For the banner I used the thinlits diecut from Sizzex, and the BoBunny collection called Primrose Colletion.  I only used the little 6x6 pad.  It was perfect!

If you look at the bucket you will notice there are also word bubbles...those are prewritten apologies they can give each other.  I attached them to candy and candles.

One other nifty find was Hersey Kisses with notes written on the bottom, like conversation hearts.  I sprinkled those all around the other things in the bucket!

Have a GREAT week!  Brightest blessings and stay messy!!!
