Hot Chocolate Jars Part II

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you all had a great week and are ready to unwind and have a fantastic weekend! As usual, things have been busy in my neck of the woods. Work has been insanely busy, and of course our life at home never slows down. I love it though, my days at work fly by which mean I get to see my family much sooner at the end of every day. Once I see my little girl's face and get a hug from my sweet husband I know all is well.

We don't have much planned this weekend, which is A-Okay with me. I'm ready to have a little down time. So, today I'm popping in with more hot chocolate jars. Oh my goodness, they have been a hit with my co-workers! Since I made the jar for my lovely friend Leslie, I've made five more! And, I have an order for two more!!! Woot, Woot!! Okay, so let's get to the pictures! LOL! These jars were made as a teacher gift, wait until you see this little school house!

 

What do you think? Did you see that flag! LOVE IT!! And how about the slide and swing set? Amazing! As usual Betsy Veldman from PTI really made another awesome petite places stamp/die set! My co-worker loved it and she said the teachers texted her and said they really liked them. These jars are totally my new favorite thing. My last two customers requested the dry ingredients for cookies so I used this recipe for cowboy cookies! I'll be sharing photos soon.

 

I hope your weekend is wonderful, and thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's for the kiddos

Hello Friends! Happy Friday! I am so happy it's the weekend. I'm only working a half day today and my hubby and I both have the day off on Monday (President's Day), so it's a nice long weekend in the Weatherspoon household! Today, I'm sharing Valentine's Day cards that I made for Paige's classmates. It's funny, when I first started this project, there were only 8 kids in her class, now that number has ballooned to 20! Thank goodness I started early!

All of these cards use the Love You to Pieces stamp set, patterned paper, and dies from Papertrey Ink.

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the super cool thing about this set is the kiddos can make a 3D airplane or fox! How cute is that?! Of course they will need adult supervision, and hopefully their parents are up for the challenge. LOL! I had a great time putting these together, and a BIG shout out to my girlfriend Leslie for hooking me up with the fox set! I'll be getting it back in the mail to you real soon!

 

Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day? We typically stay away from restaurants because it's just SO busy and the service seems to suffer a bit. So, we've decided to stay in and have a nice homemade lobster dinner. Since we're off on Monday, we may drop Paige off at school and possibly check out a matinee. That's always fun! I also hope to sneak some crafting time in as well, I have so many things that I want to create! If only there were more hours in the day...

 

Well, that's it for me. I hope you have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend. Thank you so much for stopping by!
