Christmas Countdown - Day 4

Good morning.  I just love these.  I filled them with chocolate, of course.

Here is the pattern if you want to make some.  Just be careful when putting them together.  The slot on the top is real close to the edge and tears easily.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow with day 5.

Christmas Countdown - Day 3

Here is my surprise for day 3.  It isn't one of my favorites.  It just seems plain.  Oh well,  they will enjoy the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that are inside.

I found the pattern on Silhouette Online.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow with day 4.

Christmas Countdown - Day 2

Good morning.  The fun has begun.  I just love leaving these gifts in odd spots around the house.

I saw similar jars in the store and I just had to make some.  Once every thing dried, I filled them with M&Ms and the second day was done.

Have a great day and see you tomorrow with day 3.

Christmas Countdown - Day 1

Hello.  I can't believe it is December 1st.  Where has this year gone?  Oh well, time to get my countdown started.

Every year, my husband and son get a small token/gift every day until Christmas day.  I just love making the treat boxes and this is my way of using them.  Some I use every year, others they keep for themselves.  I always tell my son not to throw the treat boxes away.  To keep the ones he wants and then give me the others back.  I usually get about half of them back and that is okay.  It gets me ahead on the next year.

Over the next 25 days, I will posted quick daily notes on what the gift was and if there was a pattern, where I got it from.

This is day 1.  A friend gave me the idea.  It has 50 Hershey kisses in it.  Two for each day (I get one and my husband will get one and my son and his girlfriend will get one each every day until Christmas.)

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow for day 2.

Frankenstein

Hello.  Happy Tuesday.  I didn't make it back last night, but I have one for tonight.  Since it was  kind of late, I decided to make a quick one.  I thought this Frankenstein was so cute.  A little bigger than I thought but quick and easy to put together.

Have a great night.

Pumpkin Gable Boxes

Hello.  I haven't felt like making anything lately.  So tonight I said down to see what I could come up with.  I only have one Halloween treat box made.  I really need a few more.

I love gable boxes.  They are just so easy to make and can be so cute.  So I pulled up the files of these pumpkins ones by Lori Whitlock.  I didn't want to make the solid orange so I printed some orange pattern paper and started cutting.  They came out so cute.

Well I am off to clean the supper dishes.  Hopefully I will be back a little later.

Hello and Happy Friday.  I have been so busy lately that I haven't participated in the Cut It Up Challenges.  I wanted to make sure to catch up with all of my friends over there, so here is a card for the challenge.

The theme is Breast Cancer Awareness.  This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart so I was so looking forward to making a card for this challenge.
