| Halloween Gift Basket Curtsey Boutique Designer Raechelle Bellus |
Who says all treats need to be received with door-to-door knocking.
Raechelle has conjured up a lovely gift basket perfect for tiny monsters or grown up ghosts. Our berry baskets are so easy to customize with your favorite shade of acrylic or spray paint. Raechelle painted hers in a haunting shade of glossy black. Her die cut leaves from our library cards are a beautiful finishing touch for our candy corn fabric flowers.

DIY Lavender and Wildflower Seed Thank You Packets Tutorial with Tracy McLennon
Lavender and Wildflower Seed Thank You Packets Tutorial
Original Design : Tracy McLennon
Curtsey Boutique Supplies:
Mini Ziploc Bags
White Cardstock
Journal Pen
Flower Seeds
Heart and Tag Punch
Patterned Paper
Lavender and Wildflower Seed Thank You Packets:
This is a sweet and simple project that can be easily made in larger quantities. I created these to be a part of a Garden Party themed bridal shower. They were a part of the Thank You gift for all of the people that attended the shower.
I cut out all of the hearts and tags from patterned papers. I inked everything with a chocolate brown ink. I also cut small strips of white cardstock which I wrote Thank You on. But you could always print out these sentiments or stamp them.
Then I began to assemble the front of each mini envelope. Any regular adhesive will do, but I used my hot glue gun for the buttons.
I separated the seeds from their original packages and then placed them each into a mini zipper bag. This would make sure that none of the tiny little seeds would escape from the envelopes.

| Apple for the Teacher Card Curtsey Boutique Designer Rebekah Faries |
I love this card that Rebekah has made and think it would be perfect for giving to a teacher now. A kind of "I know you are in the thick of it and we appreciate you" pep talk.
To all the teachers out there who have helped me and my children over the years - thanks so much!

Embellished Mason Jar and Button Card with Connie Mercer
 |
| Embellished Mason Jar and button Card Curtsey Boutique Designer Connie Mercer |
Fall is my favorite season of the year - crisp cool air, knee high riding boots, leaves that crackle under your beet and soft cozy sweaters. Fall is also a time for canning or if you hate a big kitchen mess - for using canning jars in creative ways. I love Connie's use of our plastic mason jars and daisy lids here. The warm fall colors and a collection of vintage buttons are fantastic for organizing, but also a fun gift for a crafty friend or cute finishing touch on a fall mantle.

| Week 30 Project Life Curtsey Boutique Designer Kat Benjamin |
Kat shares her thoughts o her week 30 Project Life Layout
"I went heavy on the pink for this week's spread because one of the week's highlights was my best friend's baby shower. She's having a little girl, so I used that as the perfect excuse to overload on one of my favorite colors! The Curtsey Boutique has a lot of pink embellishments that worked really well for the look I was going for!"
