Mingle Little Sis Gift


This is the little desk set I made for my MI Mingle secret sis. Although, it's not a secret at all. She asked me point blank to my face if it was me, and I fessed up right then and there. She received this yesterday. I hope she likes it. She didn't get the pic of Luke in it, but the pictures looked weird without something in the frame so I slipped that in there. I think I took it out before I mailed it. Didn't, I? Oh well. Who wouldn't want that sweet face on their desk? LOL. I made some of these desk calendar thingies last year for secret friend gifts, and I still had a bunch of the canvases left. It's something a little different anyway.


It's just an acrylic frame I doctored. The butterflies and bow are on the outside. I used BAsic Greay paper and various embellies.

These were fun to make. I really hope Lorie likes them. Now back to the grindstone. I may never do another swap. Mass productrion sucks. Have a hoot!

  6. Laura, I am still drooling over this generous gift. It is even more fabulous IRL. You did not leave Luke's picture in it. :) I'd have loved it even more to see his cute little face. I have been blessed to have you for a PBS (pretend big sister). I'm sure we will be FSF (forever stamping friends). Thanks so much. Lorie
    P.S. See you soon!!
