Something Special for Mom

While I was doing some "internet surfing" last week, I found the sweetest necklace on Etsy that I just couldn't resist buying for my Mom.  I love to do random things for my Mom....just to let her know how very much I love her.  I realize that I won't have her in my life forever.  So while I do, I want to make sure she always knows how much I cherish her love and support.  Moms are just special.

It's absolutely lovely!  You can get it inscribed with names and get the birthstones of your choice.  I just fell in love with it, and I know my Mom will cherish it as well.  So......I knew right away that I wanted an equally special box to put this very special gift in as I give it to her.  I started with a Kraft Box and decorated it with lots of great products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I wrapped the SUPER SHABBY 2 1/2 Cotton Blend Plain Ribbon around the box, and then tied a bow (with that same sweet ribbon) that I placed on top of the box.  I absolutely LOVE this ribbon because it can be torn to fray the edges, and can also be torn into thinner strips if you don't want the full 2 1/2 inches, so it's super versatile - like having multiple widths from one perfect trim.  To that, I added some of Really Reasonable Ribbon's GORGEOUS Mulberry Flowers, including their sweet Baby Pink Open Rose, and the Two-Tone Yellow Open Roses.  I also included a sweet 30 mm Wild Orchid Crafts Mulbery Paper Green Leave.  Under the flowers, there's a bow that's tied with the lovely Solid Mint Baker's Twine (which I think is a new favorite cuz it's SO pretty).

Perhaps you've heard me say this before, but it's SO true.....Really Reasonable Ribbon really has everything you will need to embellish all your projects.  Whether it's a card, a scrapbook page, an altered art project, or anything else; Really Reasonable Ribbon has all the perfect ribbons, laces, trims, flowers, and accents to make your art look fabulous.

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget about the FUN CHALLENGE going on now here...on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  It's called Show Me The Pink (with Ribbon or Trim).  We love seeing your wonderful ribbon-topped projects, and hope to have you join us.
