For each OnStage event, I like to make a little gift for the ladies in my downline group that are attending. They get a little box with some goodies in it that will add a little something to their day. I like to use our mini pizza boxes because they are fairly sturdy and travel well. They are also just the right size for a few small goodies. This time the box included a lip balm, a package of cashews, chocolates, and some page … [Read more...] about Downline Gifts
Treat Holders
Here To Serve You
A few weeks ago I shared this adorable Snowman treat-holder here. This treat-holder turned out to be super popular at the last two events I shared it at because this is a super easy idea that is perfect for mass production. I've had a number of requests to share a pattern on how to mass produce this project. I'm a visual person myself, so it really helps if I see it on paper. If someone starts giving me a bunch of numbers verbally, I'm … [Read more...] about Here To Serve You
Christmas Is Coming
Once again, I will be at the Just Crop Retreat tomorrow sharing Stampin Up products and make and takes. I look forward to seeing these ladies every month. They are just the nicest group of people. Today I’m sharing one of my make and takes for tomorrow. This is a cute little treat holder that you can use for classroom treats, party favors, or co-worker treats. With the upcoming Holidays, I know that people want to get an early start on getting … [Read more...] about Christmas Is Coming

Ronald MacDonald House Treats
At our last Downline Meeting, we made Halloween treats for our local Ronald MacDonald House. I love doing this project for the House guests. It's a little something that we can easily do to help brighten their day. We used the coffin boxes for our treat holders this month. The tops of the boxes were heat embossed with versa mark and a spiderweb pattern. Inside, we added monsters. The monsters are on a piece of window sheet and they pop … [Read more...] about Ronald MacDonald House Treats
Harvest Hellos
Hello Friday! It's been a busy week around here getting ready for a couple more events this month. Today I'm sharing one of the make & takes that I'll have at the Just Crop Retreat tomorrow. This make & take uses the Harvest Hellos stamp set and the brand new Mini Curvy Keepsake box. We had a similar treat box called the Curvy Keepsake a couple years ago and it was super popular. The Mini version is about half the size of the other … [Read more...] about Harvest Hellos
EEEK!
Did you know you can make a countdown calendar for just about anything? Like counting down to a special birthday, or a special occasion, or a holiday, or even the last day of school. I have several different countdown calendars that I've used through the years. One of my favorites is our vacation countdown calendar. The kids loved this one when they were little because they could see that number getting smaller every single day, which meant we … [Read more...] about EEEK!
So Happy
There are so many beautiful new products in the Annual Catalog and I'm trying my best to use them as quickly as possible so you can see just how beautiful these things are. If only I had endless amounts of time to play with all the goodies, then I could share everything with you. Today's project uses one of the polka-dot Kraft Pillow Boxes. These boxes are approximately 5x3". These are a great size for party favors, treats, or small … [Read more...] about So Happy
