a sneak peek...

Gifts for the KY/TN Gathering on March 1st...this Saturday! *so very happy*

This gift is almost finished...it just needs one more item on the front but I thought I would share a sneak peek at just one of the gifts I made/altered to bring.


This paper block has been so much fun to work with. I love using black & white together...with the added gold & brown tones...it's a delightful color palette.


Notice what I used as a trinket holder? Ok, so they are embellies but "trinket" sounded too cute. I snagged the box from one of our boys...there was still candy in it but I decided it was time to empty out the chocolates into a zippy. This is a much less expensive version of these cute little boxes you find to buy everywhere. I love to pick my own "trinkets" to share.


I hope everyone else likes this gift...it's not all I have made but just one I was totally lovin and had to share. There will be more sneak peeks over the next few days.

  6. Great way to recycle! Very cute idea - and the top looks very elegant. Oh - and what;s with the zippy. I don't think they would've made it into a bag in our house!

  8. Who wouldn't love this gift! Very creative! By the way, I think it might be illegal to have chocolate left over from valentine's day for more than a week. I'm not going to turn you in, this time, but remember...you must each the chocolate within a week!!!! ha ha (or in my case, the first day!)

  10. I was checking out similar boxes on clearance a couple of weeks ago. I thought they would look cute embellished. Now I wish I had gotten them. This is so pretty and much less fattening than chocolate!
