Divine Twine and Clip Art

I love baker’s twine. (Of course, I love it even more when it’s tied around a pink bakery box full of chocolate glazed donuts...) I have two giant spools of red and white twine that I found on ebay a few years ago, but thanks to my blog buddy, Whitney Beard of Whisker Graphics, there’s now FIVE more fabulous colors to choose from in her delicious new line of string called Divine Twine. There’s Green Apple, Lemon, Orange, Aqua and Licorice! (Do you know how long I’ve been looking for black and white baker’s twine?)I can think of a hundred fun things to do with colorful baker’s twine, from wrapping gifts and hanging tags to draping bunting, scrapbook embellishments and wedding paper goods. But for today, I had a little fun with Divine Twine and simple vintage clip art.Get your own spools of Divine Twine! Go to DivineTwine.com or Whisker Graphics on Etsy.

That's amazing, I haven't looked you up for days, but I did just now, and today I have received my divine twine in the post in the UK. I have been waiting for nearly three weeks and it's almost too divine to use, but your ideas have inspired me, yet again.

Many thanks
