GRATITUDE is an art form on it's own.  However, coupled with pretty paper projects, I believe gratitude goes to a new level of sincerity and beauty.  Today's project consists of a very simple pizza box that I made as a "thank you" for my neighbor after she delivered scrumptious homemade cookies as a surprise. The box perfectly accommodates the three mini note cards and envelopes tucked inside.

AND THE "BEET" GOES ON . . .  The Stampin' Up! Homegrown stamp set longs for watercoloring.  However, for those of you who have frequented my Stampin' Pretty blog for awhile, you know that watercoloring and Mary Fish don't necessarily mix.  I love the classic "botanical" look of these stamp images in Basic Black.  Quick and easy is the real bonus.
