Reese's Peanut Butter Treats

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I'm off to clean my downstairs today since I am having friends over to make Christmas cards Saturday morning! It is a wreck down there since I have been crafting my fingers off and Shawn's been hanging out down there with me. We love our downstairs in the winter time with the fireplace and all those pretty ceramic Christmas trees lit up!

Today I have another yummy treat to share.

I already got a call to make more of these yesterday! LOL

Take a look...

I love making treats more than making cards but I bet you already knew that!

Project Details:

Stamps: Candy Cane Christmas (retired)

Ink: Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Whisper White, Under the Mistletoe DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, 3 X 6 Gusseted Cell Bags, Shaded Spruce Metallic Ribbon (from the Tea Room Double Ribbon Pack), Gold Enamel Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

My customer wants more to sit at each person's table setting for on Christmas day with her family!

She usually does a mix of treats since some cannot have peanuts so I am happy to make what she needs! Tis the Season for yummy treats!

Sweet Season Treats

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I'm slowly checking things off my to do list as far as customer orders!

I'm also just about ready for my stamp class Friday evening, too!

In the meantime I am still nursing this darn back of mine with ice packs & Tylenol Arthritis and it's not feeling any better.

Today I want to share a really yummy sweet treat that I made to sell.

I have customers who want candy treats for every holiday but Christmas time is the most sought after time. They always tell me to make alot so this year I have 4 huge baskets full of treats for them!

I used Reese's Peanut Butter Miniatures for these.

I had 2 bags of this candy and slide them by color into a 2 x 8 Cello Bag and tied them shut with this pretty gold string that I found at L&L Stamps years ago! Its so nice to work with but sadly it's almost gone. Before I tied a bow with it I added my gold embossed tags! I was trying to keep with the gold theme on these but I love the pop of red & green from the candies, too! I'm not  fan of heat embossing but sometimes it's just a given to use it at Christmas time!

Sweet Season Treats:

Stamps: Candy Cane Christmas

Ink: Versamark

Cardstock: Whisper White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Hole Punch, Gold String, 2 x 8 Cello Bags, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was able to make 14 of these treats for my customers. 

I hope they like them as much as I do!

I'm not sure I had a favorite because I love them all and i'm happy that they all went to new homes for Christmas too! 

Today our Baltimore Ravens are playing football against the Pittsburgh Steelers so we are going to have our Christmas dinner early. Hopefully we can get a quick walk in before dinner. 

My hubby got me a new bike for Christmas!!! I just love it as it matches my sneakers! Haha!

Holiday Composition Notebooks Part 2

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Busy day here today with doctor appointments and such so I will get right to my Christmas notebooks!

I took these small composition notebooks that I got at the Dollar Tree & Walmart and covered them with SU papers. These next 3 are done with the Warmth & Cheer DSP and the stamp set is Wrapped in Warmth.

This one is done with paper found at Hobby Lobby last year. I added a Papertreyink sentiment & ribbon to finish it.

This one is done with the Candy Cane Lane DSP which was a huge hit this year!

I used 1 whole pack for my crafts and now i'm hoarding my 2nd package! 

The stamp set is Candy Cane Lane.

And lastly, this one is done with Trim the Tree DSP that is retired and of course I have 3 packs of it that i'm slowly making my way thru! LOL My poinsettia is made from the Festive Flower Builder Punch and Reason for the Season stamp set. The sentiment is from Papertreyink. 

I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite as I loved them all!!

This year they all went to new homes for Christmas!

Which one is your favorite?

**********************************

My thoughts today.....

Today is officially the first day of winter although it's been feeling like winter off & on since before Thanksgiving. Definitely not a my favorite time of year but I know there are alot of people who love the winter weather. I'll stick to my sunny & 70's! 

I wonder how many days till spring?

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Has anyone baked any cookies for Christmas yet?

That's all for today!
