This past weekend I crafted with my friend Bev {aka B2}.I bought this little potted plant at my local grocery store
to take as a hostess gift and just wasn't happy with the
purple-plastic-packaging.
{say that fast three times...}

Who says I'll never use that piece of leftover corrugated
cardboard once used as packing material?!?!?!

And in the process I had a good idea for
what to do with the remaining cardboard!

Wow Deb what a simple but amazing idea it looks so different just beautiful x
That ribbon really makes the flowers pop!

I take plants, food or wine for the most part. It depends on the person a little and the situation of course! I think your changes for this gift are fantastic, the ribbon really makes the whole thing :-)
Your 'changes' have made the gift so much nicer and more personal. I usually take a plant as well... though sometimes wine....depending on the recipient.
Lovely idea Deb - it has to be chocolates (lots of it) to share for me!
Beautiful - can't wait to see what happens to the rest of the packaging! :-)
So cute! I love how you took something simple and made it into something personal and special!
That's so cute! And thoughtful of you--don't know of many people who would take a hostess gift to a crafting session--bless you, Sweetie! xo
Much, much nicer after you added your magic touch!
Much better!!! And... a woman after my own heart...NEVER throw anything away. Ha!
The tile job turned out AMAZING, Deb. It's beautiful! I was sorry to hear about your shoulder problems. A few years ago I woke up one morning with "frozen shoulder". The things that helped the most were Physical Therapy and an "EMS".

It sure gave me a lot of relief. Take care,

That looks beautiful Deb and with a simple piece of corrugated card too. I love it!
I can't remember the last time I went anywhere that involved taking a hostess gift! Although, if I'm asked to "bring a plate" to a party or something, I always buy a new plate, and that's my hostess gift... your changes are lovely and simple, and make the plant so much better!
