Oh my! It is really rough getting back into the daily routine!
After almost 4 weeks vacation I seem to have forgotten just how little time is left when the kids are in bed and the daily chores are dealt with...
8 weeks till fall vacation!!!! I'm starting a countdown...
Pocket Letters
Have you ever heard of pocket letters? I hadn't until just recently when I joined swap-bot! They were invented by Jeanette Lane. Check out her site here.
I made my very first pocket letter and sent it off to my swap partner in the US. There was no theme picked out for this one so I just found some pretty paper and decided on owls as I love to draw owls!
The back of the pockets holds crafty goodies like washi tape and ribbon samples, paper clips, buttons, stickers and sticky notes etc. I put a teabag in one pocket and a little bag of candy in another.
And of course one pocket holds a letter...
Finish of with wrapping...
And a decorated envelope...
I really enjoyed making this and have since made another that I am about to send off. I can't wait for one to arrive here!
