As 2016 draws to a close, I thought it might be fun to share with you my most popular blog posts of the year … so, starting of course with..
#10. Tiny Treat Boxes
I first received a tiny box of gift cards from Linda Heller many years ago and I have been making them ever since! They make great shower favors or little thank you gifts. See how easy they are to make here.
