A friend of mine, Kathy, calls something you buy for someone that costs under $5.00 a "Ditty".I was going to visit a friend this morning and thought I'd like to bring her a little sumpn'-sumpn', and my eye landed on a little magnet I'd made.
She's a bird lover and I thought this magnet would be perfect...but how to wrap it? I ventured into my studio and found a stack of matchboxes that I'd purchased from the Dollar Tree. In just minutes I had covered it with a bit 'o' sheet music, a tiny vintage image, a lil' sticker and itty-bitty ribbon flower.
Here's the magnet in this photo (above). Of course I had to line the inside of the box, too! ;-)
So, there ya go!
Just sharing a little Ditty for you...that costs only pennies!!!
I have always loved little ditties! That is such a precious idea! I don't know why I have always been drawn to small items!! So cute!
