Happy Retirement to a special friend/Co-worker! This past week we celebrated "Her" Retirement and I made this Retirement Survival Kit for her. It turned out beautiful!
Inside the Large sand bucket were a lot of goodies and quotes attached to them and wrapped them all in clear cellophane. When she opened the gift, I had previously numbered them and had her read them to our group.
I also created a "Do not Disturb" door hanger and attached it to the pail handle.
