Description:
It's been such a long time since I've made one of these and they are just so easy and fun! A whimsey pocket is easy to make: You will take a paper towel holder/inside roll tube, cut 2.5-3.5 inches off, flatten and seal one end, then add a handle to the other. You will then decorate your pocket according to the theme (or not this time) and fill with a few little goodies for your partner. They are similar to a Whimsy Jar but for these, the treasure is in the pocket. The inside goodies are just a bonus! You will have one partner and send one pocket. If there is enough interest, I will host a themed pocket every month :) post below if you are interested :)

Would a toilet paper roll also work? So the max. Height of our pocket would be 3 1/2"? This sounds like fun.

Hi scrappermama! I think they are a bit smaller around and many people have a HUGE aversion to receiving something out of someone's bathroom.

Ha! No problem! Paper towel roll it is!

I can't join this one right now, but I would love to make one in a future swap sometime if you decide to do more.

I would surely do one a month if it is a Free Theme or a general one like Vintage, Somerset etc!!

I love these Darc and Crescendo so I don't have any problem hosting them regularly :)
