Sure, it costs a little more to send, but my niece will love it! I made this on a whim last night for my niece, who is about to get her MBA from Ohio State University. Since I can't be there in person, I thought I'd send a little cheering section for her. This one's named Tamika. So, Andrea will open the box and there Tamika will be, cheering her on as she gets her degree. My niece will get a kick out of it.
Tamika was simple to make. I just drew her on cotton squares in a micron pen, cut her out and then colored her in using Crayola fabric markers. I ironed her for four minutes, front and back, to set the colors. Then I stitched her partway, stuffed her and stitched her the rest of the way. Using two-sided tape, I stuck her in the box with some felt flowers I cut out free form, put a greeting on the cover side of the box and shipped her off via UPS. It was that easy. The whole creation process took about 45 minutes. Going to the drugstore to pick out a card, actually picking out the card, getting back in the car and driving home would have taken half an hour. So, for an extra 15 minutes, my niece gets something goofy made by her Aunt Kate, and I had the fun of making it!
