Gift Ideas

Tonight I spent finishing up some last minute gifts for my
Ds's 3rd grade class and for some friends I'll be seeing tomorrow. They were relatively simple. I made the old reindeer candy canes and filled some snowflake tins with goodies. Sometimes keeping it simple makes for a more relaxing Christmas. I have been wanting to make some cards but I look at the sketches and I have no Inspiration. It seems to me everyone has better Ideas than I have.



I made sugared Pecans and English Toffee to fill the tins. I purchased Wilton Treat Bags to place them in and some red satin ribbon to tie the packaging closed. I picked up some cute Angel Cookie Cutters, because I invisioned having a lot more time to make up cookie mixes, but.....The angels still look cute in the tin pails.





For reindeer I used the fruity flavored candy canes seems my kids like them better than the peppermint ones. I got the red pompoms by buying a 1/3 yard of red ball trim seems the red pom pom's were gone. I didnt see the need for an assorted package, because I worried I would have to buy 2 packages to get enough red ones. One package of Brown Pipe Cleaners, and One package of Wiggly Eyes. I used glue dots to adhere the Pom poms and eyes. the pipe cleaner is just wrapped around and twisted. The kids love these, they can even make them themselves, and they seem to be a hit.



Here is the whole assortment





Remember to enjoy your Holiday's

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
