More of this and that...

Well, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go!

 Can't wait to see the 'grands', but will miss home and my handsome man while away.

I'm going to try my best to keep up with my commenting at night after everyone goes to sleep - we shall see how that goes! I fly out next Weds., so send some happy thoughts up my way!

Anyway...here are a few more never posted items - hope they make you smile!

These little candy totes were made for the special ladies at church.

While I had this gorgeous Rubbernecker stamp out, I made Easter cards for both of our kids.

Here are some cute Easter candy boxes for the ladies at church. These were made Easter 2018!

I used an old Amuse die set that was borrowed from my bestie, Shirley!

This view shows the back of the box. After die cutting the bunny from the front, the die cut was adhered to the back!

Okay, that's all for today! Don't want to overstay my welcome!

I'll be back next Saturday with some more forgotten creations!

Hugs and smiles,

Fun with Nuggets!

Good morning!

Happy Sunday - hope you're enjoying your weekend.

So, I had a bag of Nuggets in my CRoffice (craft room/office that I share with dear hubby). Said bag of chocolate nuggets were terrorizing me - they had to go! After spending a little time thinking, and stewing, I did the only smart thing I could think of - Yep, I went to Pinterest!

There is a group of 'older' Sunday School folks that I try to spoil every few weeks or so, and after I saw this idea on Pinterest, I decided that's where the Nuggets would go.

Here's what I made...cute, right?

They're not hard, very little labor involved, and cute as can be!

Hope the group enjoys them this morning!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs and blessings,

Oops!

Happy Saturday!

Have you ever had to create a card or gift for someone as a means of 

apologizing 

reedeming yourself

sheepishly admitting a big OOPS

pleading for forgiveness

groveling for forgiveness?

Here's what I made - read on below if you are interested in my groveling story...

Each container has a tea-rrific greeting on one side, and a teabag with name on the back side.  I enlarged the tea bag, and made a nice folding card, complete with a groveling, sheepish, pleading for forgiveness apology!

Here are all of them - boxed and ready to go to church tomorrow.

We've all made these easy peasy boxes before, right?  Well, I needed

several, and I needed them very quickly, so I fell back on 'easy peasy'.  The

images are digi.  They can be found at Doodle Pantry.  I hope these little gifts

serve their purpose!

Here's the scoop:

For the last 6 weeks, a friend and I have been subbing for our church secretary, who's been hospitalized for well over 6 weeks.  During the course of one of my days, the preacher had a meeting one morning, and asked if I knew how to make coffee. I do, of course, and there is a Sunday School class that meets in an area just outside the office door.  I'll just say that this is the class for mature adults!  Anyhoooo....I made the coffee in one of their two pots. I thought I had everything all cleaned up after the meeting, however, the following Sunday, when I walked through the classroom to the office, I was met with some very

disgruntled looks, hands on hips, etc.  They asked if I had any idea who had made coffee with their 

TEA pot.........OOPS!  So explains the two pots!  One for coffee, one for tea.  To make matters even worse, I had forgotten to dump the grounds, so their tea water was brown.

They pointed from one pot to the other and back again saying "Coffee pot, tea pot, coffee pot, tea pot - GOT IT'?  I gulped, apologized, and said 'Got it"!, after which I very quickly left the classroom :)

So...this little gift of Hugs & Kisses, Mini Ghirardelli's, and yummy Caramel Tea will be on their table in the morning when they meet.  Hopefully, I will be forgiven, and maybe even eventually find my way back up on my pedestal, reserved for nice people!!!

Have a great weekend,

Thanks for stopping by!
