Appreciation Week. If you haven't, don't worry - you've got all week!

These are the goodies that are in the brown lunch bag shown above.
All of the supplies I used for this little combo are Stampin' Up!
Some of the accessories are retired... but not these great stamp sets! I used
Greeting Card Kids, Thank You Kindly and Apple Blossoms (love this set).

(yummy chocolates inside)

This cute little red box is from the Candy Countdown Calendar Kit
that was featured in the 2010 Holiday Mini Catalog. I just love these
boxes! I used them for Christmas, Valentines Day and now Teacher
Appreciation! They were such a deal and hope to see them again next year!

I used a clear envelope to wrap up some cute little note cards and a
magnetic note pad. The ribbon is Real Red Polka Dotted and it's retired :(

The card was quick and simple, but I just LOVE it! Probably because
this is one of my favorite stamp sets. Its was the very first one I ordered
from the new catalog last year!! And speaking of new Catalogs... I can't
wait to see what's in store for us in July!! Look for my retirement game soon!!

Hope you enjoyed my projects for today, any questions - let me know!

I just love this stamp set and decided to create a card with
a nice little Starbucks treat inside!! Isn't it cute!?
