It's a sad day in our house today. My mum's been visiting from England for 3 weeks and today she flies home. Well, as ever it's last minute gift wrapping for me!!! I bought mum these pearl earrings and wanted to make a little box to gift wrap them in. Today's CC was the perfect choice for this cute little Christmas Box I designed.

Hard to see her leave, but won't she be delighted with the earrings in this cute box, Emma. I love the double tag you made to go with it! TFS!

Oh, Emma! How lovely! I love the pearl accents and the colors are just gorgeous! Sad to have your mum go, though I'm sure you both have wonderful memories of her time here! {{{hugs}}}

Oh Emma so sorry your Mother's stay is at an end but the memories you build each time you visit are priceless and will remain forever in both of your hearts.

Ah, it's always to hard to say good-bye. My family is far from me so I know how you feel. But now you have new memories and your Mum has new earrings in this gorgeous box made with love. Wonderful work.
