Prezzies for the Garni Girls!

Ok, so the Garni Girls plus 1..

We're meeting tomorrow for lunch. Haven't all been together since, oh, August? It's been awhile! See, we met (most of us) at the hotel we were all staying at when we PCS'd here into Ramstein last summer. We've stayed in touch and see each other individually here and there, but haven't all been together in way too long.  We adopted Heather at our first reunion, because she is a fellow Stampin' Up Demo and (funny story) actually had moved recently from Fort Leavenworth like me. She looked awfully familiar, and it turns out, we have mutual acquaintances, but didn't know each other! Who knew?

Anyway, it's lunch tomorrow, and I'm surprising everyone with a little gift. Sure, I stayed up late to make it, but for the first time in many days I could sit in one place for awhile without hurting, and really wanted to do this.  I did a modified version of the chest of drawers, and did it wider drawers instead of the narrower.  I have a hard time doing everything THE SAME so you'll see each one is completely different. LOL!

I did finally figure out which piece I was missing for stability. Sorry purple girls, yours doesn't have it. But it was a big AHA moment!

So, here they are, along with a close up of the tops.  I did the tags with the Tiny Tags stamp set and it's a gorgeous finishing piece!

I think they'll like them. And if not, they each have a daughter that might. LOL!

 The blue and Kraft colorscheme was an after thought; I had run out of Cottage Garden.  However, secretly, I actually like the way these ones turned out better!

Did I do too much to these?
I've decided that perhaps they are not chests of drawers.  They're nightstands! *Teehee!*
Thanks for looking!
