But I really wanted to share this great idea with you before I head out...
let me know if you think and if it's something you might find useful!
Okay... have you ever wanted to create a gift basket and not anything to use for a filler just to make it look pretty and more bountiful. I have a bunch of times and usually don't have anything on hand. So... the other day when I was creating my Gift Basket to give at the last church I was speaking at, I had the same dilemma and I was just about to scrunch up a bunch of colored tissue in my basket... which I don't like the look of... when I had this GRAND IDEA!
I simply cut 1/4" to 3/8" strips off the end of my folded tissue paper and separated them into a fun fluffy filler.
(I did find that licking my fingers helped the layers to come apart much easier!) But because comes with several layers... two slices gave me plenty to pretty up my gift basket and one slice filled this little box with beautiful color and look of whimsy. (Also to note is that I did scrunch a white plastic grocery bag in the bottom to fill the space and lift the gifts up for better eye appeal.) Love it!
The great thing about doing this is that it's very inexpensive (you can buy colorful tissue at the Dollar Store), there are a great variety of colors available, and you can still use the leftover pieces of tissue to poke into a gift bag if you need to.
I also wanted to share with you another Faith Block... isn't it SWEET?
These will be available in my Webstore soon... they make a sweet gift at a sweet price.
I'll let you know when they arrive in the store.
Every good and perfect gift is from above.
James 1:17
Lord God... thank You for giving us the creativity to make the most of the money You allot us...even in these trying times. Help us all to be more frugal and yet more giving at the same time... to bless and encourage others through the work of our hearts and hands like you have us. Love You Lord. Amen.
