My friend Janet's daughter Jennifer turns 10 this month, and has recently become enamored of all things frogs and toads- a girl after my own heart! So this little bucket basket is for her birthday.
It's for today's Technique Lovers' Challenge, #258, Bucket Handbag (Thanks Mel, for the great idea and template!). I've used a piece of DP for the background, then stamped my dragonfly in gold, cut it out, sprayed it with clear glaze, sprinkled with German glass glitter, repeated for 3 coats. Too bad the sparkle never shows up in the photo. It's finished off with a bit of gold Stickles.
The frog is a little ceramic pin which she can take off and wear. Tied with some narrow gold organdy ribbon; computer generated sentiment reads, *Hoppy Birthday*. I'll stuff the basket with some of her favorite candy and send it off.
I think she'll like it; I hope you do too! Thanks for looking!
Hugggs!

Oh Maddy! This is adorable! You lil bag is so sweet, and I love that the pin can come off for Janet's little girl. Great job!
