Coin Wrap Treat Holder

-

Hello everyone.  I am really excited to show you this fun little treat holder made from a quarter roll wrapper.  What, a coin wrapper?  Absolutely!  It was really fun to make.  I even made my own stick pin.  Yes, there were a couple of new things I tried with this project and it was worth it.

Since these are for a swap over at CraftHappens.net, I needed to package them nicely.  I grabbed some cellophane bags and the new Autumn matstack from DCWV and included my information on the back of the topper.  I used the gorgeous Sunflower crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM.  This is part of the harvest bundle and you can find out more about it by clicking here.

Other items used -
Tim Holtz - Fall Seasonal distress ink
Recollections flowers and leaves
Lace from my stash
"Fall-O-Ween" stamp set from K. Andrew Designs
Gesso

Curious about what goodies I put in the inside?  Watch the video to find out all about it.


Thanks for stopping by today.  This was a fun "little things" project and I hope to make more in the future.

Did you know that there is an "Anything Goes" challenge going on over at 3 Girl JAM.  Be sure to check it out and link up a project.  The links are at the bottom of this post.

Take time to enjoy the little things!

Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the l...

Hot Chocolate for a Crowd

-
Image
It's been nearly 3 years since we made hot chocolate mix.  Yes, you heard right.  We last made hot chocolate mix in December, 2017.  Have you ever made so much hot chocolate that you mix it in a garbage bag?  That's how we like to do it.  It's also great if you're having a party or looking for a fun gift.  Just add some mix to a bag, put it in a mug, wrap in cellophane and tie it in a bow.  This year we tweaked the recipe a bit to try to make it a little more chocolaty.  Keep scrolling and I'll tell you how we changed it up. The original recipe is something that I found on the internet years ago and I have no idea of the original source. If if you know where I found it, I will be happy to link to the original source. 13 oz. malted milk (change alert #1) 22 oz coffee creamer 4 lb. powdered milk 32 oz. powdered sugar 2 (28 oz.) chocolate milk mix (change alert #2) 2 (1 lb) bags of mini- marshmallows (change alert #3) Mix in a large trash bag.  ...
