The paper weight I bought from the dollar store was pretty ugly. It had a yellowish brown butterfly on the top of it.  The design made it look like something you would find at your neighbors annual garage sale!

I wanted to give this little paper weight a modern makeover. I found some stickers that had different words on it. I created my own quote with the words I put together. It’s no secret that I am a fan of hugs!

This gift challenge set me back around $4.00.
