Cutest Gift Card Packaging Ever!

We have one last fund-raiser before we go to Haiti. Blue Bottle Coffee was kind enough to donate to our hospital-wide raffle. It's sure to be one of the most coveted raffle prizes!


And can we please talk about how cute this gift card packaging is?? I wish I had thought of it first! Can you imagine, someone literally put this teeny-tiny envelope into a typewriter. I can't even stand it!

High-kicks for the donation, for sure. And 100 high-kicks for the packaging!! Who needs coffee when the packaging can get me so excited? (oh, but their coffee is so gooooooooood!)

I will probably borrow this idea... just so you know.

Crafting for Haiti

Well, I'm headed for Haiti this April with a group of doctors and nurses from work. I still can't believe it! I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and hesitation, but I have wanted to do something like this for a long time.

Anyhow, since we must pay our own way to Haiti, what do we nurses do to raise money? We bake! I throw a little crafting in there as well :)

I made a double-batch of my all-time favorite, fool-proof granola recipe and packaged it up! I used those cute little Paper Source labels and my favorite font.


I had some lip balm ingredients left over from some Christmas gifts I made. So I just melted them down, added a bit more peppermint oil, and put it in jars. This lip balm recipe ROCKS, by the way.


And that's really all that's in this lip balm - see? It rocks!

Here's hoping for a successful bake sale (and mission!)!
