Gifts, Governor's Mansion and Party Favors

I was recently invited to tour the Governors Mansion to give my input for this years Christmas decorations...I WISH!!!! I kid, but I was honestly invited to the Mansion. I live in Texas, so this means I am heading to Austin.

Today, I'll be hitting the road with a few other fine Texas ladies. 

The woman who invited me, is a follower on Instagram and works for the Great State of Texas. 

Any whoooooo, I wasn't going empty handed! I made a few monkey notepads for her and bought another one off Etsy. Monogrammed a candle, a pink insulated cup and found a cute tote bag to put it all in. Seems like a fun treat to me.

I wrapped up everything to look fun and fluffy. I'm on a clear paper kick. I think it's the shredded paper inside the clear that gets me. It's cute, I can't help it. 

Closer look of the notepads all wrapped up.

I posted this pic on Instagram Thursday night. I was working on a few cups for the ladies who were going with me. I love a party favor, doesn't matter the size of the party. 

The finished treat! Monograms, pink, green, stripes, bow and pom poms = cuteness overload. Finger crossed the ladies will agree.

That's just the beginning of our Friday. I'll post more from the day as soon as I can. 

Happy Friday.

Love and Limes,
