Christmas Elves Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

What a day it was yesterday!

Shawn ended up getting an injection of steroids in his knee.

Still not pain free but we are hopeful it will work eventually! 

If he still has pain 1 week after he is to contact the doctor and she will get him set up for an MRI.

Besides the arthritis in his knee, he may also have a meniscus tear that will not show on an xray.

She doesn't feel that he has that because he isn't showing symptoms of it but you never know!

I am keeping my fingers crossed the injection will do it's job!

Then in the afternoon we took Ryan to see the Gastro Doctor.

This guy is a blessing in disguise!

I just cannot say enough about him! 

Gave Ryan his cell phone number to call or text him if any problems or questions come up.

Now, what doctor do you know that does that?!!

Ryan now can be weaned off the Antacid medicine but can keep it on hand if he needs it.

He was pleased with how well Ryan has been feeling.

No need to return unless issues come up.

He wished Ryan a Happy Birthday (since it was Monday) and a Merry Christmas to all of us and we were on our way!

So, let's get to some stamping now!

Today I am showing you my Christmas Nugget Packs.

I loved the Santa's Workshop DSP and used that for my treats!

The saying on these comes from the Signs of Santa stamp set.

The elves were diecut with the Santa's Signpost Framelits from the Santa's Workshop DSP.

I love that our Framelits coordinate with our DSP's!

Stamps: Signs of Santa

Ink: Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Garden Green, Whisper White, Santa's Workshop DSP

My customer loves the Hershey Nugget Packs and this year I made 15 packs of them.

They make a great stocking stuffer and who does not like chocolate!

Valentine Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend.

It rained here all weekend so yesterday we went out and did some errands and hit up a couple antique shops. Picked up a small Holland ceramic Christmas tree and found my friend, Vicki, a Large Pyrex bowl that she was on the hunt for. Got great deals on both since most places are having 20% off sales! She was tickled pink when I told her what I got her! Shawn also went and picked up his new glasses which he desperately needed. Oh the joys of growing old....

So today I have a Valentine treat to share that I made with Hershey's Nuggets.

My lady friends go nuts over these so I try to make them for all holidays.

Most people love chocolate so this is a fun way to present a sweet treat especially on Valentine's Day!

Nugget Pack Details:

Stamps: Hearts A Flutter, Hugs & Wishes (Sentiment)

Ink: Real Red, Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Real Red, Sending Love DSP, Melon Mambo, Painted with Love DSP, Whisper White

a "pj day" is a must!

Halloween Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

We heard from the doctors office yesterday. Our doctor is out until the end of the week but if Shawn was having sharp pains, fever & vomiting he was to call and see one of the other doctors right away. Yesterday he was not having any of that, just some tenderness. He was still doing the liquids but he says his stomach is eating itself (meaning he's SO hungry). I did see him eat some orange jello last night that has mandarin oranges in so I guess he is going to start slowly on trying foods again. If his pain comes back then he will have to go back to liquids until that subsides. Fingers crossed for him. We are so close to getting his colonoscopy done and I don't want to have to put it off again.

Today he went into work at 3am to meet up with a contractor to work on a line. He said he will be home today by early afternoon and will help with putting out the Halloween decorations! Yipppee Skipppee! Here we are talking Halloween decorations and I had him put our window unit AC back in last evening! The temps have been so so but man the humdity is blah! Thank God he put it back in...I slept so well last night!

Anyways, today I am sharing another Halloween Treat I made with the yummy Hershey Nuggets! Take a look....

I love making these Nugget Packs for every holiday....they never get old especially if you have super fun patterned paper to do so! On these I used the Spooky Night DSP that is new! I think my favorite sheet is the one with all the pumpkins on! I used 4 nuggets in these. I found that if I use more that they are not a very good seller so I have been sticking to just 4 wrapped nuggets. The "Happy Booooo from me to you" saying is from any older stamp set called, Monster Munchies.

Halloween Hershey Nugget Packs:

Stamps: Monster Munchies

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP

Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, 2X8 Cello Bags, Black/Pumpkin Halloween Night Twine, Black Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Did anyone watch the season premiere of Dancin With the Stars last night?

If so, who was your favorite? There was so many good ones so i'm not sure I have a favorite yet. Drew Scott from Property Brothers & Emma Slater stand out to me! Can't wait to watch next week!

My thoughts today....

Sure is!

Well, that is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a really nice day!

Hershey Nugget Packs 2016

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday I had 2 more orders to complete so now I hope today to get working on my Christmas cards. At this point I am going to have to say no to anymore orders because I have tons of my own things to get busy with. Christmas is only 10 days away! Accck! I'm no where near ready!

Last year for my shows I made up Nugget packs that had 7 Hershey's Nuggets in and I only sold a handful. This year I made them using 4 nuggets per pack and I used the 2x8 Cello Bags that Stampin Up carries. I sold every single one and had to make more because they sold out after the first weekend. How crazy is that!

Today I am sharing all the Nugget Packs I made....

I actually had a few more packs that I made with the Cookie Cutter Christmas Reindeer but I forgot to take pictures of them. 

Most of these are made with Stampin Up products except the last Nugget Packs. I used patterned paper from Hobby Lobby. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from a Hero Arts set that I got many years ago. I always seem to gravitate towards using it as I love that it's a tag and it has a saying on it. Perfect for craft shows! None of these returned home after the 2nd weekend either. You just never know what will sell and what won't!

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

My thoughts today....

 I will have the Christmas music playing while getting my ducks in a row!

How many of you listen to Christmas music?

I love that it puts you in the Christmas spirit but unfortunately I can't carry a tune to save my soul so I won't be singing for all to hear....maybe just singing to myself! 

That is all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Thanksgiving Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your enjoying the weekend!

Our weather has gotten much colder in the last 24 hours...and windy too!

Although I am not ready for winter weather (and they are calling for flurries today) I am looking forward to doing my baking this week with cooler temps so my little kitchen doesn't heat up too drastically! 

Anyways, today I have some Nugget Packs to share that I whipped up for Thanksgiving. I used dsp from Hobby Lobby that was in my stash for awhile now. I did not purchased any fall related paper from SU this year just so it would make me use up what I already have.

I used up many things that were in my stash for these...even those cute little leaf brads!

Thanksgiving Nugget Packs:

Stamps: SU Sentiment

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Early Espresso, The Paper Studio DSP (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Leaf Brads, 2 x 8 Cello Bags, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These would look fabulous on your guests place settings for Thanksgiving Dinner and the Hershey Nuggets would make a sweet after dinner treat! Everyone loves chocolate!

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

My thoughts today....

I am not much of a NASCAR fan anymore but my son watches everything NASCAR and is a huge fan. He already warned me that today he will be tied up watching the last race of the season! He lives for any & everything NASCAR! 

Who are you rooting for?

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your Sunday!

It's My Party Hershey Nuggets

Hello & Happy Sunday!

What a gorgeous weekend here in PA!

Yesterday was so busy! 

 I biked 5 miles, worked in the flower beds, steam cleaned the carpets, did laundry and had a cookout. Needless to say, I was ready for bed by 7pm! I over did it with my back and today it's letting me know! I'm sure today will be a low key day with hopefully some stamping involved. 

Tonight is Red Lion's fireworks and luckily we can view them from the driveway!

Today I wanted to share what I made with the leftover bag of Hershey Nuggets. I have alot of the It's My Party DSP left so I decided to wrap the nuggets and use these for birthdays as a little treat afterall, who doesn't like chocolate!!

I used the 2x8 sized cello bags from Stampin Up for these packs. These would also make a terrific party favor for a birthday or graduation party.

It's My Party Hershey Nugget Packs:

Stamps: Celebrate Today (sentiment)

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Whisper White, It's My Party DSP

Accessories: Washi Label Punch, Mint Macaron/Basic Black Thick Twine, SU 2x8 Cello Bags

July 4th Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Can you believe that today is the last day of June! 

We are half way thru 2016!

Yesterday our weather was absolutely beautiful!

After supper we packed up the bikes and headed to the Rail Trail for a nice ride.

The last we rode was Saturday because the weather has been so hot & humid. 

So today I want to share the last thing I made for the July 4th holiday.

I used the new 2 x 8 sized cello bags that Stampin Up is carrying in the new catty. These are perfect for the Hershey Nuggets!

I fit 6 Hershey's Nuggets in the sleeve perfectly with plenty of room to tie on bow at the top. These are made of nice material. I have always been a fan of Stampin Up's cello bags!

Love them!!

Stamp: More Great Greetings

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Night of Navy, Pebbles DSP

This is the last of the July 4th treats for this year!

Before you know it, it will be time to move on to the Halloween goodies!

Christmas Nugget Packs 2015

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I apologize for not getting a card made yesterday for the SCS Color Challenge. I spent the early part of the afternoon finishing up my Christmas cards & getting my Secret Santa gift ready to get mailed out today. Then I lounged with Gigi & Bailee till hubby got in from work. I'd really like to try today to do the challenge! Speaking of Gigi & Bailee, here is a picture of them that I promised after getting their baths & haircuts Saturday.

Gigi

Bailee

I picked up their scarves at a vendor stand at the John Wright Craft Show a few weeks ago. The scarves have a bit a sparkle in them and look so cute. The girls were so tired & sleepy when they got home from doggie day spa but atleast now they are ready for Santa!

So, before I head off and get my day started, I wanted to share the rest of the Nugget Packs I made this year. I don't know if i'd make these again. They did sell just not as well as I would have liked.

These are 7 Hershey Nuggets wrapped in a piece of DSP measuring 1 X 3 and adhered around the nugget. There is a piece of cardstock inside the cello bag and I used the Wilton Pretzel Bags from Michael's or Walmart. I tied a piece of ribbon or cord around the pack and added my tag to coordinate with my nuggets. I really enjoyed making them and loved each one I made! They make a great stocking stuffer, too!

Hershey's Nugget Packs:

Stamps: Tags 4 You, Oh What Fun!

Ink: Island Indigo, Wisteria Wonder, Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Winter's Frost DSP, Wisteria Wonder, Frigid Fun Paper Pad by The Little Darlings Paper Company, Cherry Cobbler, Merry Moments Paper Pad

Accessories: Label Bracket Punch, 2" Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Silver Cord, White Twine, Cherry Cobbler Thick Twine, Rhinestones

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Happy Holidays!

Hershey Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Busy day here at the Aungst Pad!

This morning the doggies get groomed. It's been 12 weeks since they had a bath because Gigi had a bad ear infection and the Vet did not want her getting water in the ear until it cleared up. We finally got the OK to get her cleaned up! I also got them new Christmas scarves at the craft show 2 weeks ago. I will share a picture tomorrow! 

While the doggies are at doggy day spa, I will be addressing my Christmas cards since I finally had a chance to get postage stamps! Yippppeee!

Today I wanted to share something new for me this year. I found these on a You Tube video. There are 7 Hershey Nuggets in each of these packs and they were a decent seller at my shows but I still had a few leftover that I will use for little gifts for friends & the mail lady. I really like these!

The paper I used on these Nugget Packs are from a paper pad I picked up last year at Hobby Lobby. I love all the prints in this pad! The twine is also from Hobby Lobby but the sentiments on them are from Stampin Up!  I will share more of these later next week since I made a few different ones in different patterns and colors! Stay tuned!
