I try to make something as a little thank you for those ladies who shop with me each month. It might be a card but this month I decided it was time for a little chocolate. I used the Ghiradelli chocolate squares, I think this is the 3rd or 4th projects I have used these, but the variety of flavors and the taste of the chocolate is sooooooo good that I think it deserves more than one visit!

Chocolate Square Treat Box ~ video tutorial
Last week I shared my treat for the swap I took part in during the Stampin” Up convention last month. One of the treat boxes I received in return held 3 well-known chocolate squares and the box was so cute I decided to make some up for a dinner I was invited to last weekend.

Votive Treat Box ~ video tutorial
When I was at the Stampin’ Up convention in July I signed up to join in with an ‘organized swap’
It was for a 3D treat holder and the requirements were that it should hold a treat and be an original design if possible. As I love to make boxes I knew that would be the base of my ‘treat’ but I also wanted to show a technique – after all I was going to be giving my treat to fellow stampers/papercrafters so I wanted it to have a bit of a WOW factor.
Catalog Launch…….
A couple of weeks ago I hosted my launch of Stampin’ Up!’s 2015 – 2016 Catalog. This is my chance to thank all my lovely customers for their support thru the year, they get an opportunity to see some of the new products and get their hands on their own copy of the catalog…………………
Memorial Day Keepsakes
Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day. My own dear Pops was in the Royal Air Force for over 30 years and served in some areas of conflict over those years. In the UK, we commemorate the sacrifice of Commonwealth servicemen and women on November 11th (Armistice Day)
I encourage all my lovely customers to do show and tell and during a class last week, one of them presented me with these she had made for a luncheon for a club she belongs to.
Roomie Gifts
I am currently at Stampin Up!’s annual Leadership conference in Orlando, Florida. I am sharing a room with two sweet ladies and it is traditional to exchange a gift. I always try to do something a little ‘special’ or unusual, this year I chose to do these treat holders………..
Candy Bar Wrappers ~ Sweet gift Video Tutorial…….
A couple of weeks ago wrote about these these little packets, since then I have had several requests for the ‘recipe’. Well there is probably a whole bunch of videos on the internet on how to make these but rather than trawl thru and post a link, I decided to make a video myself but in the video I used a Christmas theme.
Candy Gift Box
I realize this is the second consecutive post featuring ‘sweeties’ as we call them in the UK, but I think that since it is Christmas that it is OK to feature them more than once!
I made about 15 of these boxes as a little table favor when a group of girlfriends went out for dinner last week. The good news is I made a video to share with you!
Candy Bar Wrappers ~ Sweet gift !
I made a bunch of these little packets as a thank you to my November customers, those who came to my classes and those who joined the ‘Stamp Set of the Month’. Each holds one of the mini Hershey candy bars
Frame Art for a Special Friend
A few weeks ago I shared a frame art project that some friends and I had worked on for a soon-to-be Mum. For some time I had wanted to make one for a very dear friend of mine who celebrated a milestone birthday in the summer, in fact I had all the supplies ready! As she lives in another part of the country it was always going to be a challenge to get it to her so when she paid a visit to North Texas early in November it was the perfect time to complete it 🙂
