I had so much fun making mine. I was not sure about it when I signed up as I could not envision how I wanted it to look. But, I figured it out.
Another unique and fun swap April. Thank you so much.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Don't worry April. My husband and I sent a Christmas package to Germany by USPS, and they still haven't gotten it.

Thank you for the tin pocket with a vintage theme, April. I also love the fuzzy pink heart and will display it at work. The letter from 1945 was so sweet, and I noticed that it was just addressed to the lady in Perry, West Virginia, no street address. It must have been a small town.

Vanessa!!! Thank you for touching base! Yes, I got it almost a week and a half ago! Danny and I have been pouring a concrete slab and working on getting my greenhouse up before he left today! I could hardly move over the weekend. I tucked the box back in my closet because my cat kept chewing on it and totally forgot!!
The hanging tin is so lovely! Thankyou for the soaps and bathsalts and lotion that were tucked in it. I have it hanging now in .y bathroom with some dried flowers.
Such a beautiful idea April Tovar.
Please forgive my lateness and thanks again Vanessa for the nudge reminder! I sure can get list in my days busyness!
