Love Letter in a Bottle

This is using one of the smaller bottle from the Tim Holtz idea-ology corked vials. I really love these bottles and you can buy them at Michael's at the stamp and ink sections. I also have a couple variations to this DIY. These are for my little, teenage sisters and I thought it would be really cute to give to their boyfriends. (BTW, that's my little plant on my window. It just looked really nice to take pictures with the plant so that's basically why all my bottles are on a plant in case you were wondering ^^)

(This one is for my sister)
(This is for one of my younger sisters)
