12 Days of Christmas Ideas # 4


Post-it Note Holders are always a hit at my craft fairs. They make great gifts for teachers or anyone that has a desk job plus they make a cute stocking stuffer. My coworkers know that I am a post-it note queen at work. Mainly because I am always multitasking so I jot down notes on my post-its to keep it all straight!

I decorated this one for a teacher with the apple stamp and sentiment from Apple Blossoms. I really like the color combo here of Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake cardstock.

This post-it design came from Stampin Connection which is a forum for demonstrators to share ideas with each other. My friend Colleen just signed up to be a demonstrator yesterday so I am really excited for her. There is an amazing deal of $87.50 right now and you receive over $300 worth of products plus so much more. Contact me to learn more!

Online Spectacular now through Nov. 30th!

12 Days of Christmas Ideas # 3


Wow I haven't been very good about posting my christmas ideas with two fairs last week I got a bit sidetracked.

My M&M Treats have been popular at my craft fairs the past few weeks. I think this is a great treat to carry in purse around the holidays and thank those you see everyday.

I buy my bags (1X8) online at G.T. Bag Company they have reasonable prices and fast shipping.

I stamped with Falling Leaves and Tags til Christmas for the images. Then I coordinated the colors of the cardstock to match my M&M's.

12 Days of Christmas Ideas # 2


Here is another little treat perfect to share with a coworker, friend, etc.

I made some of these up for Halloween as well and they turned out adorable! This treat box is made with a Big Shot die called Scallop Envelope. You need two envelopes then you trim a bit off the bottoms and adhere together to make the box. This holds two ghirardelli chocolates (yummy!).

I used Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper for the box. The accents are based on the colors in the paper - Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive & Very Vanilla. The Dec. 25th is stamped from Tags til Christmas. I used a marker to only ink up the middle so this is considered partial stamping.

I am packing up for the Washington Elementary School tomorrow night for a craft fair/shopping event.

12 Days of Christmas Ideas # 1


Hi there!

Over the next 12 days I will be sharing some Christmas/Holiday ideas. Most of the items are things I have been working on the past few weeks for my craft fairs. I have been having lots of fun crafting it has been like a 2nd full time job. I have two more events this coming week and you can get the details on my website.

This is a hot cocoa slider that I CASE'd from Kerry's Paper Crafts. It holds one Swiss Miss hot cocoa packet. You untie the bow and pull up on the real red taffeta to unveil the packet. I used the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini. Not sure if you can tell but those red dots are all glittery! I stamped the mug image from Morning Cup (thanks Selene!) and colored in the heart with my real red marker.

I think this would make a super stocking stuffer or pair it up with a mug and it makes an inexpensive holiday gift for a teacher, co-worker or friend.

I look forward to sharing some more projects with you so please check back tomorrow.

Butler Middle School Craft Fair


This past Saturday was the Annual Butler Middle School craft fair in Lowell. Here I am at my table filled with lots of goodies!
My most popular items were bags of holiday gift tags and post-it note holders. No surprise as these both make great teacher gifts.
I will be sharing some closer views over the next few weeks in a 12 Days of Christmas blog posts. In the meantime check my website out to view my upcoming events and the fabulous Stampin' Up specials.
