Oh, I LOVE Thanksgiving!! It’s my very favorite holiday of the year, with all the fabulous family time and none of the gift-giving stress that makes Christmas hard… Every year we travel to spend the day with family, and although I am very thankful not to have to clean my house, everyone brings “something” to the party, and I’m a terrible cook… No, really… I try hard, but I just don’t have the baking “knack” that my sister got… I keep saying that I’d be better if I had a “big girl mixer” you know… that beautiful KitchenAid mixers that I would LOVE to have… But honestly, I don’t know how much that would help… and I hate to spend that much on a kitchen appliance if it wouldn’t really help!! On the bright side, I am very crafty!! So, this year for Thanksgiving, I’m bringing candy filled treat boxes!! They are made very simply from one piece of 8.5×11 card stock and some fun little embellishments for the front… They are being featured on the Scrapbook News and Review blog where you can find a detailed tutorial on how to make them yourself…
Those are SO adorable!!!!!
Great way to use some Fall decorative paper and your wonderful Tim Holtz Leaf Die! They would make great place settings and you could fill them up with little gifts, besides candy, too!! Oh and I have a beautiful “big girl” mixer, but you must know how to use it. You sew, knit, and make such wonderful papercrafts and I bet your sister can’t do that?
