I LOVE the saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words' and here it applies well!  When I first saw this Gift & Mailing Station that Laurie design I was astonished by the details!  There are so many!  Even as I uploaded this project I still noticed even more! 



Laurie included everything!  Tape, postage stamps, gift tags, handstamped cards and envelopes!  Absolutely amazing!  Who wouldn't LOVE to receive this FABULOUS gift!




Recycling items is high on my list of favorites and I adore how Laurie converted this clam shell (plastic stamp container) into a fabulous pocket for this pad that does double duty ... keep on reading to learn more!

BTW ~ I apologize to Laurie ... I didn't notice that I hadn't straightened the flower on the notepad when I placed it back into the clam shell.  I would have re-shot this but alas ... I had already returned it to the designer before I noticed. {here I sit shaking my head back and forth in disbelief!}.



 Regardless ... it's still INCREDIBLE!



Stamps and everything!  And check out that recycled tin!















As if everything I've shown you weren't enough already ... check out these cards Laurie included! 

I especially LOVE how the ribbon goes across the line in the zig zag and that Laurie used the zig zag vertically!  I think I always use it horizontally!









Now back to that nifty notepad!  Notice that this side is the Christmas Gift List and Laurie has a tag that says 'shopping list'.



Flip the pad over and you have your Christmas Card Address List!  Laurie has tabs for 'Christmas Card List' and 'Addresses'.  WAY FABULOUS!







Years ago I purchased one of these turny-round thingy's at our local craft store ... and I never did anything with it ... suddenly I feel inspired!

Laurie thank you for inspiring me and so many Savvy Readers!  This is an incredible project and your attention to detail is amazing ... just like you!



Happy Paper Crafting!
