"Baby Gift"

Alyssa is about to become a big sister for the first time! Please let me clarify! LOL Her daddy and his new wife are expecting any day now, so Alyssa and I fixed up this little basket with misc. baby items so that she would have something to take to the hospital when the time comes. Also, I could not help myself, and made a quick 5-page 6x6 scrapbook for them.

Alyssa has been the "only child" for 11 years, so this change has taken some getting use too. I thought that if she could fix something to take to the hospital from just her, that would help alittle.

I let her pick out the rattle; socks; and, washclothes. I got a heart-shaped basket from Dollar Tree and filled it with blue filler. We rolled the socks and washclothes individually and tied ribbon around each, before adding them and the rattle to the basket. We also included a diaper tag initial "r" I made out of chipboard and a ballchain. She's so proud of the gift!

"School Gifts"

These are a few of the various gifts heading to school with Alyssa tomorrow. Her last day before winter break is Wednesday and she doesn't want to take it all on that day.

There are some snowman Trident gum holders; a Hershey's nugget tin; a 4 oz tin filled with miniature Reese's peanut butter cups; a tall tea tin filled with mixed nuts; and four (4) decorated Hershey's nuggets in a cardstock 'wrap'.

I've fixed a basket for Alyssa to carry everything in tomorrow to hand out these goodies. Then, I guess when she brings it back, it will just get filled again with class treats to head back to school on Wednesday. Whew! LOL!

"Snowman Sets"

This is the snowman set that I am making for Alyssa to give to each of the ladies in the office at school. The set includes a snowman soup, a snowman gum holder, and a small white sack with an individual chocolate square inside. There are only four ladies in the office and I hope they like these!

Soccer Team Treats

I made these treat boxes as end of the season gifts for my daughter's soccer teammates. Each box contained a pencil, stickers, eraser, notepad, whistle, magnet and gumballs. I was able to stamp a soccer ball image randomly over the box and use soccer ribbon for the 'handles'. I then stamped each kid's name on the boxes. They were a big hit with the team!

"Teacher Gifts"

(First, I hope everyone will bare with me, I am very new at this 'blog' thing and this is my 1st post)

I made these magnetic, coaster, post-it note holders as gifts for my daughter's teachers for the last day of school. I pair each one with a matching RSVP pen. They were quick and easy, but turned out very cute!
