Good morning! It’s a great day today . . . today is the day that my oldest, Kate, graduates from college! Can ya say WOO HOO! 
It’s been a long five years, especially after she had to change her major after being diagnosed with epilepsy. She has earned her Secondary Education Degree and is now looking for a position teaching chemistry, biology and/or physics. Cross your fingers for her!
So, moving on to today’s project! I had Stamp Club on Saturday and the way I’ve been working club this session, is that I have 3-4 projects for them to work on and then the hostess brings something to teach everyone. This works out great, as all my Club Members are experienced stampers and we all get to learn something new. One of the girls brought a gift purse template that she found on Martha Stewart’s site. I liked it so well that I had to start another when Club left.
Here’s the outside of the gift box, all closed up.
Here’s the inside of the opened box.
Instead of gluing all the tabs inside to keep the purse completely closed, I left the front alone. It just seems that you could write a personal note on the flap and have a very special gift.
