An Extra 5 Minutes To Brighten Someone's Day

We're all busy! Whether it's family, work, school, friends, our pets or hobbies, we all busy and seems like we never have enough time in our day. But what if you took just an extra 5 minutes to brighten up someone else's day?

I had a stack of photos I wanted to send to my mom-in-law. Sure, I could have just stuck them in an envelope and called it good, but what if I took that extra 5 minutes and made a cute card to send the photos in?!

And 5 minutes was literally all it took to make this card using pieces from the Graceful Season collections. That included time to address the envelope too!

Just think how happy she will be when she gets this card and photos of the grand kids too!

I also made this gift card holder for a friend. Yes, the yogurt shop gives you a little envelop to put the gift card in, but what about taking that extra 5 minutes to make it something even more special.
