First Package!

Well I tried to send out this package back in time for Christmas but things got crazy and so I waited and have finally finished it haha. I just love Pinterest though because it helps me with cute ideas :) Here's Wyatt's Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's Day package! I am seriously in love with it!

This is how it looks when completed! :D 

This was when I was starting to really freak out over how cute it was turning out! I painted the two long sides with yellow paint and then the shorter sides with blue (as you can see from the pic haha) Then I just did a strip of black paint and then painted some overalls on the little guys. I had to use the little slips of paper just so I could see if it was working out haha.

After a couple of coats for the overalls I made the little buttons and like a little pocket for the minions and drew their smiles and hair. I used stencils for the letters and the two stars and just used a round brush to make the dots. It's getting close to being done!

The final step! I cut out circles for the eyes from white paper and then used the black paint and a round brush for the pupils and then glued them on! :D I love this box sooo much haha!

What I put in the package:

I bought this back before he left. It came from the Cracker Barrel and that was when he met my grandparents on my dad's side :)

I put in 12 "Open When" letters! Here's the link to how I did those: http://missionarygirlfrienddiary.blogspot.com/2015/01/open-when-letters.html

This was part of the Valentine's Day card I made for him :)

I got this cute book from Target. It lets you even write some stuff in it about some memories, things you like about your loved one, etc. It was only a few bucks!

I sent him these little things :) The picture with the blue glasses, that is me and my best friend in the picture from spending a girl's night at Chuck E Cheese (I work there haha) and then the glasses was one of the prizes I got. 

I got him these two ties with messages on the back. These ties are great quality and didn't cost me an arm and a leg! I got them from http://www.cheap-neckties.com/ . Check them out!

 I also got Wyatt and his companion these matching ties! They are both from Orem Utah so I got the Provo Temple for them but they had a few others. I got mine from the BYU bookstore but I am pretty sure they sell them online at http://deseretbook.com/

I got this cute pillow off of Etsy! You can write your own message or have them write it for you! I sprayed it with my perfume haha and stuck a note inside of it :D

 These are just a few of the hearts I made :D I got the idea from Pinterest and I think they are super cute!

So I wrote 10 things I like about Wyatt on little slips of paper (and yeah...I hashtagged it) and put them inside balloons that I used to finish off the package!

I spelled out "Happy Bday!" on the balloons because his birthday is also coming up :D

Now it's all sealed up and ready to go! Get there safely package! I sure hope Wyatt loves it because I do haha! (Don't mind the awkward pen at the bottom of the picture)
