Birthday Friendship Kit

I know it's a bit late but I just wanted to share this fab little birthday gift bag I got from a creative friend! It was a "friendship kit", and the contents were-
"A candle - to light up your life
A safety pin - for the unexpected
A rubber band - a  reminder to stay flexible
A plaster - to help heal wounded feelings
A paper clip - to help you keep things together
A button - to remind us to sometimes button our lip!
An eraser - because we all make mistakes
Some marbles - to replace any you may have lost!
A cotton ball - to cushion the road ahead
A penny -  so you will never be broke
A balloon - to celebrate life (I already blew that up and popped it!)
And finally - a prayer - to remind you that there is always someone out there who cares"

  4. How creative! The perfect gift for a girl who has it all, such as yourself. LOL!
    It is thoughtful, and the bag must surely signify royalty.

    And

    What is it you call bandages?
    Plasters??? I love it :D

    Love to you girlfriend!

  6. Just thought I'd stop by to say hello - I met you a couple of year's ago when we were both displaying artwork in Didsbury - in fact you introduced me to Etsy! Perhaps we'll bump into each other again.
