Before I'm off to bed, I'm so darn excited about this that I had to share!! Can you spot my contribution to the October Indie Craft Sampler box? (Hint: Click on the photo to enlarge.)

Yes! There it is! I should be receiving my own box shortly and then I'll share more about the other amazing contributors. 

These 50 State corkboards are the rustic (and mini) versions of corkboards that I typically make in the shop. They have rough edges and pen marks and they're just as fun to use as the full-size versions. You can hang them on the wall, cupboard or bulletin board with the adhesive of your choice. I typically use Scotch tape to affix it. For full size, it looks nice framed or attached to a card or on top of a gift. Let me know how you decide to use your mini cork board! 

Last week, I finished creating mini versions of the state corkboard in my shop. Above is a sample of the MA board. Why did I make them? Well, I contributed them to Indie Craft Sampler, an awesome subscription box of craft samples. I cannot wait to review one when I receive mine next month. I hand drew and cut each of the 50 states which I then wrapped.

The samples are more rustic than my usual chalkboards, which I think go well with the business cards and wrapping. They're a little chunkier and have lines running through them. Perfect to tape to your wall or add to a beautifully wrapped gift.
