Christmas Presents 2010

Here's what I've been working on...

I put together this basket for James' parents. The idea came from a little gift set I saw. The gift set came with 4 ice cream bowls, an ice cream scoop and two small toppings. For the same price, I was able to put together this awesome gift basket.



I etched this votive holder for my cousin, Kristin. There is red filler to pad the candle in the box.


This is the votive holder I did for Kory, my cousin. You can see more of the filler in this one.


I bought this "Chinese food" gift bags in red. There is green filler at the bottom. Then the votive holder with filler and the candle. I included a gift card in each one. This is the inside of Kory's box and she has a $15 Blockbuster giftcard.


 This is the inside of Kristin's box. Same as Kory's but she is getting a $15 QT gas card.


My half-sister, Erin is a bit younger than my cousins so I was hesitant to make her a candle holder. My original idea was to make each of the girls a glitter ornament but they didn't turn out as I had hoped. I saved this idea by buying Cricut vinyl. I think it turned out super cute! I used Martha Stewart's fine glitter and Future floor polish to make the ornament.


Inside Erin's box is her glass glitter ornament and a $15 gift card.

Personalized Gift Bag

My friend is having a baby shower this weekend. When I went to buy a gift bag at our local wal-mart, they didn't have many baby bags to make room for Christmas.. So I purchased this one and jazzed it up just a bit.
