A Maggie Treasure Tin

Another month almost gone.... it's hard to believe that school is starting in two days and my "baby" grandson is going into second grade!!! I think he's ready for some structure again, although I'm going to miss having him around all day like crazy!! It's Meet the Teacher night tonight, so he's excited about that!
My project  today has been sitting on my desk for over a month!!! My niece had a little girl four months ago and I still haven't mailed this out to her!!!! It's a little tin to keep baby "treasures", keepsakes from the hospital, pictures, etc. There's even a little envelope on the inside lid for a lock of hair. Callie is the cutest, little baby, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on her yet, but I can't wait!!!! My image is Tilda with Blue Blanket colored with Prismacolor pencils... On the inside lid is Tilda, too, but gosh, for the life of me I can't remember her name... I'll get back with it!
The card is for them, too. It's Tilda's Family, I love this stamp!!!! It's just perfect for a first baby card!!! I got to use one of my little embroidered flower appliques that my friend, Deb, found for me!!! She got a huge bag filled with lots and lots of vintage ones, I am in heaven!!! There are a lot of pictures!!!! Had to get all sides!!
Enjoy the rest of the month!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Teri
