PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS:

GIFT CARD HOLDERS
     I needed a quick and easy gift card holder and found this wonderful idea on Pinterest...

Original Pin HERE

...but when I clicked on the pin to take me to the site for exact measurements, the instructions were in another language...so...I looked closely in the picture and figured out what measurements were needed and modified the final size for the gift card I made. Here are my measurements and instructions:



When closing the gift card holder, the center of the
left side fits between the notches on the right side.
A sticker is needed across the seam to hold it closed
...and here is one of several gift card holders I've made:


I purchase decorative stickers in circles and squares/diamonds
from Staples in their wedding invitation section!

VERSATILE VALENTINE BOXES WITH TREAT BAG:
AKA Half Sheet Boxes/Bags

I've got all of my Valentine treats done already, but here's a wonderful (and easy) Valentine's Day idea with a how-to video from Frenchie that I'm going to modify for Easter!

Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie: Half Sheet Box/Bag with how-to video * Modify for any occasion!

ORIGINAL PIN HERE

The measurements are below along with the video:

BOX:

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card stock

Score along the 8 1/2" side at:
1 1/2", 4", 5 1/2" and 8"

Score along the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/4"

CANDY WRAPPER:

1" x 3" lightweight DSP

To complete the treat bag insert for this box, place four Hershey's Nuggets into a clear envelope bag, bring the sides of envelope together, adhere with a glue dot or two and tie the bag with a ribbon at the top.


Here's my version for a birthday:



Fold the right side over onto the left side as demonstrated in the video, then I folded the small flaps in, the flap with the glue dots on top of that and finished with the flap with the two strips of sticky tape. 

THANK YOU, FRENCHIE!

SAYINGS AND SENTIMENTS

I have a board on Pinterest called "Sayings and Sentiments I Love" and here are a few of my recent pins that made me happy:



Sou forte porque tive de ser! Sou esperto por causa dos meus erros! Sou Feliz por causa da tristeza que conheci. E Agora, sou sábio, porque aprendi!

Feel good anyway. ❤️❤️

Quote: "Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace." Lesson to learn: Being angry at someone hurts only you. Let go of your anger, not for the other person, but for yourself. Remember, forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. Forgiving means accepting that it happened.

Quotes on Gratitude from the Dalai Lama, Maya Angelou, Tony Robbins and More

Randy Pausch wrote one of my favorite non-fiction books of all time called The Last Lecture. It's a must read for everyone!...and here are two of my most favorite quotes:

Don't nag your husband to death with a thousand little 'chihuahua bites' of criticism.  Remember he has human flaws as do you.  Be a wise woman who builds up her man instead!

So true!
