Gift For My Parents

So even though I did not get nearly to amount of handmade gifts done that I wanted to 

here is one I did...

 I know the above picture is a bit difficult to see, and my watermark isn't really helping the situation!  But it is an "R" made from corks.  My mom had been saving them for some time, and I had taken them to make my parents this framed monogram for the wall.  It looks much clearer in person:)

A few little treats...

I know it is past Christmas, but I still have just a few things left to share!  Here are two nugget tins that I made for the office staff at Makai's Preschool.  I LOVE these tins!  I had made a bunch up and sold them around the holidays...they were a hit!

Happy New Year Everyone!  

Today I wanted to share the class gifts I made for Makai's teachers 

(I also made a similar set for Kamili's teacher)

 Here is both of the sets together.

 A close up of the gift card holder.

And the group card...We had each kid make a "page" wishing a Merry Christmas to there teacher, then put it together on binder rings!  I thought they turned out cute and I was able to avoid trying to hunt each parent down to sign a card:)  

Craft Project Central

I can't believe December is almost over!  It has been a crazy month to say the least.  I have two great Projects to share with you from Craft Project Central!  I am sorry to double post them, but I ran out of days:(  They are both so cute though that you won't want to miss out on signing up for Decembers subscription!

This first project is an adorable Mini Circle Box & Card, Julie Edmonds at www.inkrediblestamping.com created this cute little Valentine's gift!

I love the cookie press from Stampin' Up!  I have used it a few times now and I am excited to get it out again for Valentine's Day!  Look at the beautiful Sweet Pressed Cookie Box & Card set that Lynn Weiss created.  You can check out more of her work at www.lwdesigns.blogspot.com

Cookie Exchange Tins

So all of my club members participated in a cookie/tag exchange in place of the typical club meeting for December!  Here are the tins I came up with to hold my Peppermint candy cane sugar cookies.

I just took a standard soup can, and covered it with DSP(that I had stamped on)  Added Very vanilla Card stock to the center and a ribbon around the outside.  I used my distressing kit(which I am in love with) and added a little vintage touch!
