Thrift Store Craft Supplies You Should Never Pass Up

Dream Big DIY Eye Mask
You might have seen pictures from my recent trip to Round Top with a fabulous group of ladies. We held a mastermind meeting there and as a small party favor my mom helped me make these adorable DIY eye masks. I love to give little presents, there is nothing better than a grown up goody bag.
