Kits!

The lastest issue of Somerset Life has oodles of quick/easy projects to make which is where I got  the inspiration to make these pouches.  I didn't actually buy the magazine so if any one knows the name of the gal who made these let me know.    I made these gift pouches with toilet paper roles, old ledger paper and images plus a layer of wax.  They are SO addicting.  If I didn't have a full weekend teaching I would have made more but instead will have to wait till I get home.  I filled them with goodies for my treasure necklace kits and attached them to paper bags that have even more stuff in them.   When I get back I will try to do a little tut on them. 
Here is a necklace I just sold with old keys:
talk to you soon!

Robin, these are great. I often peruse and don't buy these magazines. I probably don't remember everything I read like this, but somehow it filters into my creative consciousness and comes out in some incarnation or other.
