Happy Sunny Monday!!

Well...my dear Daughter made it home safe from 5th Grade Camp!! She had an incredibly fun time and came home with no bumps or bruises or tick bites to speak of! I was very happy that the Teachers took such good care of them and that they took pictures and uploaded them each night so we could see what they were doing! {Love that!!} I decided to send in a little "Thank You" to the Teachers that went.

Since I haven't figured out how to make my own graphic labels, I always search around the Internet for some...They are usually inexpensive and quite cute! During my search I came across Lauren McKinsey's Design blog....she makes some adorable printables and these were on her blog for free for Teacher Appreciation Week! I Love Free!! I downloaded them and decided I would use these...they were perfect!!

Using some Prima Flower bottles I had been saving....I spray painted the lids red and started sticking the labels onto the Hershey Kisses....added the bow and tags and thought it needed something else...so I put a pencil under the bow and viola...adorable....just like my Daughter....here she is at camp...playing in the tide pools...getting ready to pick up a crab!!!

The end of the school year is already here! I am thinking of making some candy lei's for the last day of school...so am I on the search for things to make them with....
Hope your week is wonderful!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

What a beautiful day it is today! The weather here is perfect and sunny and both of my Girls came home from school and gave me the biggest hugs just to say Hello! Gotta love that!!! It reminds me to enjoy the little things!!
Speaking of little things! I spent the morning making these adorable little matchbox treat boxes!

I know altered matchboxes have been around for a while but when I saw the one on bibbi's dillerier I was inspired to make some! How happy would it be to find one of these on your desk or mailbox!?! Very fun! I love them! They are filled with 2 little Hershey chocolates wrapped in matching paper and they fit perfectly in there. I'm still working on a few more of them but with different themes! A perfect way to use up the last of my matchbox stash!!
What exciting thing are you doing today? Did you see something beautiful? Did you get a warm hug? Did traffic go your way? Did lunch taste great? Remember to enjoy the little things and theres lots and lots of little things out there!!!
Hugs,

School's Out...Crafting is back in!

Well..it's finally here...the last day of the Kids school...on one hand I'm happy because it seemed really busy these past couple of weeks and also because I've made some arrangements to head back to Canada to see my Grammy who is turning 100 this summer!! The Kids are excited about that....On the other hand...um..Im not so ready for the inevitable... "I'm Bored", "What can we do", "Where can we go" questions that happens every 15 mins if we are at home!! I still haven't had time to finish my envelope album..ugh...but I thought I'd show you these cute and easy treat bags I have been making.
They are so fun to make!! Great for Teachers, Friends or anyone who deserves a little somethin' somethin'. Made with Hershey nuggets and scrapbook paper...the themes and ideas are endless!!
Well....I'm off...the Kids want to go rent movies.....

A Quick Treat!!

Ever wake up in the morning and remember its someones Birthday...maybe a co-worker or post person? This little treat is so easy to make, looks great, tastes great...geez...it must be great!! =;0)

Using punches, I created the little Hershey peppermint candy sandwiches. I used the Amuse "Birthday Wishes" stamp and a Clear stamp Princess or Fairy stamp from the dollar bin at Michaels, colored with Copics and attached the sandwiches! The topper, I used a Spellbinder Nestabilities and cut 2 sizes...finished with a cute bow...and viola...a cute, easy, Birthday treat for someone special!! The great thing about this treat is it can be adapted to fit any occasion...Thank You, Congrats, Welcome...etc!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
