Christmas Activities
It's been a pretty busy few days here!
I made more Milk Carton Containers for a few neighbors. These use the Holiday Lineup set again.
Then a few little candy jars for other neighbors. The jars are from IKEA, the last of my final pilgrimage trip before we left California. I used the star punch and the 3/4" square for the topiary jars. They are filled with Hershey Nuggets wrapped in DSP.

Christmas Morning
All Nicholas wanted for Christmas was a big TV for his room. No other gifts, although he got some...man, was that kid happy with Santa!
Benjamin was thrilled with his Piccolo from Santa. He already plays flute and piano and I fear this is just one of his many instruments to come.
Then there was the gift that didn't go over so well. My Benjamin loves $100 bills because there is a Benjamin on them, so I found this shirt for him. He said he will NEVER wear it and it's silly...hmmmph.... kids!!

Tiny Paint Cans
These tiny paint cans are just 3 1/2" tall and about 2 3/4" across. I got them at Craft Warehouse. They hold 4 Ferrero candies and some shreds. I used Jolliest Time of the Year stamp set and Ski Slope DSP for the paper bow.
And for my nasty sista, I attached a Sexy Motherpucker Lip Gloss to the handle! Oh,she is gonna love it!
Another Milk Carton Container ...this one is from Tammy Beaver. Is she really getting ready for Valentine's Day already???? You can check out her creations here.

Busy Weekend!
What a fun and busy weekend!
Friday night the boys had their Christmas Piano Recital. Since Benjamin is still under the weather recovering from his tonsillectomy, Nicholas performed alone. He was fabulous and loved getting all the attention to himself! He was getting one more practice in before we left.

He played Joy to The World perfectly Ü

I always try to get a few pictures of each occasion, especially when they are dressed up. However goof ball here, is sometimes just too cool for the photo session and doesn't have time to hold still so mom can do her 'mom thing'!! This folks...is the REAL Nicholas!
Festival of Trees Tea Party

Saturday I attended the Festival of Trees Tea Luncheon. I drove 2 hours, picked up my big sister Cindy, and we drove 2 more hours to my little sister Kerry, and the tea party. We had such a fun day looking at all the beautiful trees, wreaths and Gingerbread houses. It was sponsored by the hospital Kerry works at (and I used to work at when we lived there 15 years ago) in Pocatello. The top photo is a look down onto the tea tables as they were being set up for the luncheon. Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Each one was sponsored by a business or individual.

Mini Pocket Book

This Mini Pocket Book is made from one piece of Holiday Tradition DSP. I haven't decided what to put on the cover yet but the pages are so cute! I thought I would slip in a gift card and some pictures for a Christmas gift.

Top Note Die Cut Box
This is so fun and easy!! These little boxes have been created by several stampers. There are different measurements all over blogs and Splitcoast Stampers.


Start with cardstock cut to 9 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score the 8 1/2" side at 3" and 5 1/2". Rotate cardstock to the 9 1/2" side and score at 3 1/2" and 6 1/2". As you fold this into the box bottom, you will see that some of the edges need to be trimmed for easy folding...especially if you are going to add a window like I did. Just cut them off to a manageable size, you can figure it out, it's pretty self explanatory.
Lid cardstock is 3 5/8" x 4 5/8". Score at 1/2" on all sides.
I put little slits in my box to hold a ribbon, you don't need it, it's just for decoration. Have fun, try one today !!
