Loads of Fun and Great Eats & Treats!!!

This is really such a busy time of year and I always have such ambition to get things done but it doesn't always work out quite the way I plan.  The 12 tags that I've been doing for work have been quite time consuming but I decided to work outside of my comfort zone so that I could learn even more tips to pass on.

These are the 6th and 7th tags and all of the instructions are on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog.



I recently got the We R Memory Keepers Gift Box Punch board and I knew what I would do with it as soon as I tried my first box.  I don't bake but my daughter has inherited that hidden baking gene from me and her cakes are amazing.  She loves decorating cakes and thinks that cupcakes are boring but I thought that these little boxes would be perfect for to hold a cupcake so I had her make me a batch of my favorites - banana cake with a cream cheese icing as gifts for our staff party.  The gifts all had to be homemade and the cost had to be under $3.00.  The gifts were all amazing!


I decorated my box and then I designed a little holder for the inside to hold my cupcake.


Here are a few more from Katrina Karina Cakes.  She even made a gluten free batch that was to die for :) I think those would make a fabulous Christmas Present.


And,.....here is the most amazing haul of hand made gifts that I've ever seen.  This was a truly great great idea for a bunch of crafty people and the pot luck lunch was equally impressive.


I've been dog sitting for the last week and a half and I now know that I will miss Lexi around all the time when she goes home.  Mack had taken up laying down in my desk chair every time I got up but it sure didn't take long for Lexi to join in.  I do have the most comfortable chair ever and I guess the pups figured it out.
























Have a Great week everyone!
