box of goodies

I received this cute gift box from Melissa. 

She is always so creative when she gives you a gift. So much love and craftiness all wrapped up!

Look at all this cuteness inside of the gift box....so much fun!

Thank you so much Melissa for thinking of me this year! I love it all!

Winter is magic...

These treats make a cute stocking stuffer. 

I stamped the sentiment and punched it out.

The other two mint patties have simple and cute stickers on them.

Such an easy treat to make. 

Star of wonder...

This little pup is from Unity Stamps. 

The wonder of this card makes me smile.

Magic reindeer food

Found this cute saying online for reindeer food. You can mix your oatmeal and glitter and spread it on your front porch at night and in the morning you can see the reindeer have come and eaten their food.

A friend asked me to make some of these for her grand daughter's class. The stamp and punch is from Stampin' Up...this little critter has been used quite a bit this season.

Tis the season

I love this set from Lawn Fawn...the tiny snowmen are so stinkin' cute and the die cuts that go along with the stamp set make it an ease to cut them out. 

The trees are also in this set along with several others. 

You're on my mind...

This beauty of a stamp is from Gina K. 

Her floral stamps are stunning. 

Here I added some color to the flowers to make it even more beautiful. 

sweet wishes

These fun gift bags were my boss' Christmas gift this year!

One bag has a polka dot apron and the Joanna Gaines cookbook.

The other bag has a Christmas snowflake apron and a gift card in the pocket....just in case she might not want to cook a meal. She loved it! 

I thought this card was perfect for the gift theme. I paper pieced the apron and added pearls for the jewelry. So cute and festive! Merry Christmas to you, Monica!

Joy to All

This card was made using Unity stamps. 

The sentiment is something I had in my stash.

I just love the little dog looking up at the star...so sweet!

from Santa

These cute little elf containers were simple to make.

I had these clear containers in my stash and filled them with candy and added the sentiment and elf legs. I found the elf legs at Michaels in the sticker department.

So easy and cute!!

Naughty or Nice?

I found these cute "mini" chocolate Santas at TJMaxx.

I made the clear pillow box and added some shreds and a bit of washi tape. 

A cute little stocking stuffer!

Christmas Sampler

These three made their first sampler ever.

It was their first time stamping too...they're naturals!

They did a fantastic job and are ready for the next one!

snow fun

Gearing up for upcoming craft shows...these cute snowmen were easy to make.

I stamped white pillow boxes and added rosy cheeks and tied them up with a ribbon scarf. They are filled with chocolate. 

Home

Super fun class at Sylvia's yesterday! 

We made this interchangeable HOME sign for the year.

Each one was cuter than the next!

Great job Sylvia.

She even gave each one of us a cute tin to store the months designs.

Thank you Sylvia...I love it!

Hand Delivered

Made these super cute cards using the Hand Delivered set from Stampin Up!

There are so many great stamps in this set and you can use it so many different ways!

Craft Sampler

A few weeks ago a couple of gals came to make a Craft Sampler for their craft rooms.

Gena made hers in lavender tones and Katie made one for her mom in blue tones. They both turned out very nice. They found the frames at Hobby Lobby.

They worked hard on all their squares and I forgot to take pictures. 

Here they are putting their layers together and then adding the squares they made.

Beautiful job ladies.

 I can't wait to see them hanging on the walls of your craft rooms!

Day 3 Chocolate Trail

Day 3 of our Chocolate Trail Adventure. 

This is our final day.

First stop was Fountain Acres to the Amish Store.

Our next stop was Abbot's Candy Store

I could so work in a store like this! 

All this delicious sweetness and I just love the color scheme...my favorite color being pink!

Making caramels...oh my!

That one section of caramel will make over 900 pieces of caramels!

This reminds you of  Lucy and Ethel and that hilarious candy making scene!

Lunch was at Willow Springs...great sandwich shop!

After lunch it was time to head home....we had filled our Chocolate Passport.

Goodbye Hilltop Hideaway!

A great weekend with friends.

Day 2 of the Chocolate Trail Adventure

Day 2 started out cool but sunny. 

It was going to be a beautiful day of outdoor festival browsing and shopping!

The Warm Glow festival in Centerville, was going on inside and out of the store. 

The candles are amazing! There were so many scents, making it very hard to choose!

We ate at Ugly Mugs...a fun place to eat and watch the Bengals game...on the small screen since we were in Indiana. I guess the Colts got priority...Bengals lost :(

The loaded tater tots were amazing and and the sliders were just as good!

The Village Forager was a great stop. 

It had some unique gifts and a delicious candy sample on our chocolate tour.

Bought a wooden pear bowl that was only $4!

Looks good with some fall potpourri.

Our next stop was Main Street Sweets in Cambridge City.

The sample of fudge was so yummy! 

I might have to say it was my favorite so far!

A little relaxing on the front porch before dinner at Galo's!

Galo's Italian Restaurant

Ahh...so good!

Fire in the sky...another beauty of a sunset....day 3 coming up!
