black friday {craft}

Have you ever had an idea and you think "Wow.  I'm so creative" (haha) and then you find that someone else thought of it at the same time and -dang- their option looks nicer???  This is what happened to me recently when I was putting together an idea for Em.

I bought these cute wooden people from Etsy HERE 

and I was going to put them in a tin similar to to one I used for the mail tin idea.

(Tin from Michael's)

I also bought some paint and some small paint brushes and I was going to create a little paper house to flatten and put inside the tin.  This is one of Em's Christmas gifts.

And then... Dang.

I was visiting Lil Blue Boo site (because she has some adorable ideas / clothing) and I ran across her similar idea.  And she does it so much better!!  None-the-less an easy gift to give and make!
