It's Too Hot In Here -- and Boutique Two

Today I chose to wear a really cute little black and red wood dress, with tights, and with boots.  It was a great outfit for winter.

And then our heater at work went a little nuts.  Now - we are unable to open up a single window and we're on the third floor -- so opening a door to the outside is a bit out of the question.

I began to swelter, sweat, and just feel plain miserable as the temperature in our office got closer and closer to 90 degrees!  Yep!  Summertime in the office only!!!  And I thought my own personal summers were bad.
I could feel the sweat as it ran down my backbone and down into my underthings.  Ugh!

For the first time this winter, I could hardly wait to get out into the cold when work was over.  What a day!
So . . . enough of that.  You want a project already?

What an adorable gift card holder!

You know not to judge a book by its cover – now you know not to judge a kit by its basics!

Kits are great for making the artist-designed projects quickly - they are even better as a jumping off point for your creative fun! 

lots of fun detail

The Boutique Boxes Designer Printed Kit includes instructions for 8 simple boxes and note cards - perfect when you need a quick gift. Use this great kit to create more! A gift box for a friend, a masculine card, a treat box for a thank you gift, a gift card holder that shows your special attention, and more! 

All from an inexpensive kit you’ll want to keep on hand for last-minute gifts and also make stepped up versions ahead of time to be ready when you need special gifts. 

Here's the back . . . 

You’ll love impressing your friends with gifts that look like a million bucks - you don’t have to tell them it all started with a kit! 

Oooooo!  What could that be inside?  One of my favorite things . . . a gift card!
