Coffee and Cats - Pocket Letter

Hello, everyone!  Welcome to Day 2 of the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  There are already over 180 entries - Woohoo! The hop runs through December 18, and anyone can join! This time we are focusing on winter/holiday projects, with images of coffee, tea, or cocoa. It's a blog hop, so comments are encouraged and much appreciated!

Today I am sharing my first Pocket Letter! They seem to be all the rage in blogland and I've been wanting to make one ever since my friend Marion sent one to me for my birthday.

This is such a loving gift to give to another scrapper...saw this from a previous entrant but thought it was a type of scrapbook page and it wasn't as clear to see there were prizes in the pockets.
