Christmas Goodies

Hello & Happy Monday!

Just a reminder that there is no Merry Monday this week.

Since we are on a holiday break I am continuing to share Christmas items from my craft show season.

The Lindor Truffle bags I picked up at the Dollar Tree and added a pretty topper to it using the "Oh, What Fun" stamp set. I made these up as "Thank You" gifts for special orders. 

Here are more Crystal Light containers covered with paper and decorated. I filled these with the Hershey's Minature's Candies. The pretty snowflake paper is from Kaisercraft. The stamp set used is Flurry of Wishes from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog 2015.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday break! 

I have been relaxing and giving my hands a much needed break!

I have already taken down my holiday decorations and packed them away for another year. 

Today I have a few chores around the house to do then hopefully heading to my craft room to do some cleaning out and reorganizing. It finally feels like winter has arrived. Today's temps are much colder than our 70 degrees yesterday! Crazy weather!!!

That is all for me today!

Stay tuned this week as I continue to share my Christmas goodies and then on Thursday (New Years Eve), I will share my Year in Review! For me it's always fun to look back on all the things I created!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Pretty Poinsettia's

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I have decided today to play along with the SCS Color Challenge, the first in weeks but I will come back later to share that with you. Instead today I am still sharing things from the craft shows.

During the summer months I drink the Crystal Light Lemonade that comes in the tall skinny containers. I hang on to them because there is so much you can do with them. One day I had cut out alot of the Spellbinders Poinsettia flowers and fancied them all up! I ended up covering a few of those plastic containers and adding a poinsettia to them! I really liked them for a quick gift for a co worker, mail carrier or teacher. I filled mine with Hershey's Minatures but you could easily fill them with anything! You could even slip a gift card in it!

Behind my flower I added some gold cord for interest and a big gold bead in the center of my flower. Maybe the flowers were too pretty for these containers but I loved them!

Crystal Light Containers:

Stamps: A Chock Full of Christmas (retired) on tag

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Merry Moments DSP

ETA:
I did not make it to my stamp table today to make a card for the SCS Color Challenge. I just decided to take it easy today and lounge with my 2 favorite doggies! Maybe tomorrow!!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!

Candy Filled Container

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Such a rainy, dreary day here in PA. today so I went downstairs and took photo's of my craft show items to share over the month of December. While taking pictures I found this Crystal Light container that I decorated for Christmas. It's adorable!! There's just something about that crazy moose that makes me smile!! 

I used a Riley & Company image for this. Riley & Company is probably another of my favorite stamp companies! There images are too cute!
