Happy Birthday Harmien!

Harmien's birthday isn't till next week, but I'm a little neurotic about sending things early (because just when you think it'll only take a week to get there, it'll take 3, LOL!) And she deserves a birthday week afterall. But with her amazing self-control, she didn't open her gift till today...

And I know how much she loves a fob that matches her floss tags...

I stitched the sides and top of the fob, then put in the eyelet and then filled it with crushed walnut shells and stitched up the bottom. It worked as well as I'd hoped (I do love those crushed walnut shells!!!) You can check out her blog if you'd like to see the other little treats I sent.

I'm so glad you like it Harmien! I hope it helps to make your day week more special!!!

    Oh that is so cute, what a lovely gift. I am hearing lots of good things about these crushed walnut shells. I think I might have to give them a whirl. Have a great weekend.
