Round Candy Bag

This is a personal favorite. I'm giving these to my family members with lot of love and chocolate! (Because those of you who read this blog regularly know how I feel about chocolate!) The one shown above is about 2 1/2 inches tall, but can be created in any size, but to about 4 1/2 inches. And here's the proof these will be well loved.

Visions of Sugar Plums

Designs of Mine recently sponsored a blog giveaway at A Classic Housewife in a Modern World so I'm excited to announce our winner! Kristina has been selected and will be receiving Christmas Covered Chocolate in the mail this week. How great is that! You walk out to your mailbox, expecting bills and junk mail there-- sitting amongst the ads and fliers is a package with a deluxe chocolate bar.

Congrats Kristina!

Christmas Covered Candy

Oh yum. Today's project has required an unusual amount of self-control for a scrapbooker. Normaly working with patterend paper, glitter, buttons and embellishments is an indulgence. Not today. However, I am strong enough to resist. I think.

In my scrap area there are four delux dark chocolate Hershey's bars. And six regular Hershey's bars. Currently they are decorated in adorable Christmas paper, tags, and ribbon. We'll see if they last the night.

So my advise to you is that if you'd like to really treat your friends, family, co-workers, etc. this holiday season you order a beautifully deocrated gift of chocolate. My second piece of advise is to do so quickly.

Scraplifting

That's the official term for "borrowing" someone else's scrapbooking idea.

Mind you there are ethics involved here. Just ask my scrapbooking yahoo group. We got into like a million post discussion about what is scraplifting and what is copyright infringement. But basically if you see an idea you like you are perfectly free to use it yourself. Especially if its a compliment to me:-).

At the Fall Festival on Saturday I believe every person in attendance picked up a Hershey's candy bar decorated with fall patterned paper, buttons, ribbons, chipboard and whatever else I had handy and promised to go home and make one themselves.

Of course, I would have like the business.

But I appreciate the compliment.
