Oh, and I was able to whip up a matching gift bag using the same fun, new products and this adorable Mini Muslin Bag.

Oh, and a bit of details on this bag...

part of what makes them adorable is that they come with a little matching cord as a drawstring. I wanted to add a big pop of color to mine, so I removed the cord and added a piece of Night of Navy 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon instead. It worked perfectly...a super simple way to customize the bag!

And...as if all of that's not enough...Sale-A-Bration begins today...
