Gift Card Case

Hope was in the SES high school production of

"Wizard of Oz".  She was a munchkin who was

in need of a munchkin costume.

ie: a Raggedy Ann costume in 

blue and yellow prints.

Did I mention that the play was in the fall and

her costume had to be made in October?

I'm not a great seamstress under the best

of conditions, but there was no way I could

tackle a sewing project during pumpkin patch season.

What to do?  I sent out an S.O.S and a blessed

friend responded to our emergency signal.  A friend who

refused to charge me for the costume.  So we showed

our thanks with a Pizza Hut gift card.  And if you know me,

you know that I couldn't just stick a gift card in an envelope.

So I took a gift card holder that I picked up for (maybe) $.25

after Christmas at Wal-Mart and jazzed it up a bit.

I took off the bow, covered it with some sewing themed

paper and accessories and popped in the gift card.

Hope and I wrote a little thank-you for our

seamstress and we funned up the envelope

with a picture of Munchkin Hope.
