Holiday Gifts

The holidays are always a fun but hectic season. Doing some shopping, making last minute gifts - I like that last part the best.

This year I made these candy jars for my friends. Here's an empty one to show the details better.

 

 

I've finally learned how to use my Silhouette to cut vinyl. Here are the jars with candy in them. Who doesn't love candy, right?

 

 

I finished them by putting each one in a plastic bag and attaching my homemade Christmas tags.

 

 

They are so easy to make! I had so much fun that me and my girls decided to make some for my friends' dogs as well. They are Jake and Snowball.

 

 

We filled them with dog treats.

 

 

Now I have another idea for next year's craft fair. Have a wonderful happy new year, everyone!!!

 

I'm still here...

I know it's been a while - there has been so much going on. I survived another school year, packed to move to a new school building, had my daughter's 8th grade graduation, and celebrated her graduation with a party at our home. Whew!!! June was CRAZY! I am glad we were able to go on a much needed vacation after everything. Now I am settled at home and after cleaning the house and doing piles of laundry I am ready to do some crafting.

As usual, I was asked to make cards for the staff members leaving our school. These are the ones I came up with.
               
                            

I was finally able to use my Silhouette to make this adorable card. I purchased the file from the Silhouette Online Store.

Here's another one that I made. It's one of my favorite projects.

This post has information on how to make these purses.

I will post other projects that I am working on. I am also getting ready for some craft fairs this coming fall. Later!!!
