Pay It Forward Gift-O-Rama

Just in case you don't read the blogs of Natalie or Leslie who have both now received and blogged about their prizes, thought I'd fill you in on the goodies that graced their mailboxes.

Because I'm not the hand-made queen, I turned to my favorite Etsy who is full of hand-made queens (and kings I suppose) for some inspiration. Gift #1: lovely note cards from Irene Suchocki. These were so lovely upon arrival that I contemplated not sending them on, and decided if I were the end recipient of this gift, I may frame them instead of using them for their intended note card purpose. Leslie received a floral variety, Natalie some landscapes.

Gift #2: gift tags from elfrida. I love that these are dainty like doilies, but still have a slight graphic flair. I think they'd pretty up any gift and was happy to share this treasure.

Gift #3 was different for Natalie and Leslie. Leslie received a year-long subscription to Family Fun magazine, something I thought would provide inspiration for fun with her cute family, and what girl doesn't love a magazine?
Natalie received a note pad from Curly Girl Design (one of her favorites) with a quote that I thought totally fit her theme for the year. Hope she loved it!

I had fun shopping for gifts for these blogging friends, attempting to find things just for them discovered via blog. So fun!
