My post is a gift bag made with the X-Cut die that makes the nicest bags, in fact my friend Patricia of Summerhouse Crafts gave me one as a gift, and after that I just had to get the die. I used a 300gsm pink card to make the bag and cut out an oval in the centre , to that I added acetate and a picture. The roses were made by myself and a few leafy die cuts to finish it off. It is such a good sized bag and I have put a special bath essence in it to make a lovely gift. The oblong boxes hold Yankee candle tartlets and again will be used as small gifts. I'll try and keep up with your blogs as much as I can , but with hospital visits imminent it won't be easy. Carolyn, Hamish & Molly are coming next Monday and will stay till Thursday, so I will have company after all. We are going to give one of the bedrooms a makeover as Carolyn does an excellent job. So you see, I will not weary.
Look after yourselves and I'll pop back when time allows. Hugs Rita xxxx

These are lovely ways to present a gift, much nicer than just a piece of wrapping paper. I might keep a lookout for that bag die to add to my growing collection.
Your bag and boxes are beautiful, such a lovely way to give a gift. Goodness, you are going to be busy next week. Please give Andrew my love and tell him I will be thinking of him - not long now! Take care of yourself too my friend.... Big hugs, Anne xx

Hello Rita
Love your bag and those roses are so lovely too, I have seen these bags on both Patricia and Hazel's blogs and I too just had to have this die, it really is fantastic I have some requests for baby bags and some Christmas ones too, so will be busy this weekend, at least it will keep me out of mischief!
Take care good luck with the room make-over.

Hi Rita. These are all gorgeous. I can see Jennie's influence in your beautiful roses - her demo in person has worked a treat (not that you needed any tutorial anyway I hasten to add!).
I hope that Andrew's op (today?) has gone very very well and that you are all relieved it is successfully over. Best wishes to you both during his recovery and physio in days ahead. Hope the makeover goes brilliantly too.

Dear Rita, your gift bag and boxes look gorgeous...the flowers are fantastic.
Have a great Sunday!

Dear Rita
Sorry I have been absent .... again.
Oh how beautiful and elegant and also so very graceful.
Rita, I read that there are to be hospital visits, I wonder if this is your DH's Andrew's operation? If so then I am sending my very best wishes that all has gone well with his operation.
Wishes to you both
Lynne
Gosh you are so good at your boxes and bags. It's a wonder anyone wants to open them and disturb their beauty! Jenny x
