Fun Gift Card Holders

I wish I could provide a template or a tutorial for these fun gift card holders.  The problem is that I just made them up as I went along.  You can do the same thing!  Just gather a bunch of scraps, measure a gift card, and get your creative juices flowing!

I got out of the car
and
upon feeling the outdoor heat hit my face,
I immediately said to Neil,
“Wow.
It feels like a hurricane is coming.”
I then proceeded to go inside,
log on to Palm Beach Post dot com,
and read
I felt like the wizard when he says to Dorothy after “predicting” her future…
“There’s a storm coming up…a whopper.”

Banana for Bananas

I LOVE all things banana…
While we were in Canada, we had the most delicious breakfasts every morning at our hotel. I alternated each day…one day French toast, the next day pancakes. One thing I didn’t change, however, was the fact that I had peanut butter and bananas as the toppings on each one! The French toast was even billed as a “power breakfast,” stuffed with bananas and peanut butter.
I realized that I really did have a ton of energy every day. I usually eat cereal for breakfast and I feel light-headed all day.
Not after eating this:

I also realized that almost all of my clothes come from this store:

My friends like bananas, too. While we were in NYC, Sharon chose a banana as a snack over a ton of other delicious food. While we were at the CHA in Orlando, Nancy did the same thing…a ton of delicious junk food, and she went for the banana. Seriously, a TON of good stuff that’s bad for your body and your health, and my two best friends go for the monkey food. My dad, too! A few years ago we were on a cruise and he actually asked me to grab him a banana off the table…the table that was filled with chocolate, desserts, pies, etc.

I asked my mom if she wouldn’t mind picking up a few things at Costco so that we would have some food when we returned home from Canada. She was shocked when I asked her to get not one, but TWO bags of bananas.
I don’t ever like to be without my banana.
I miss my banana when I don’t have it every day.
Oh, banana, who knew you would have such a presence in my life?
I can’t live without you.
