Cute little gift with purchase

Hello everyone!
I hope you're having a lovely weekend, just as I am - getting ready to have lots of fun at my latest Christmas cards class!  I know quite a few of you wanted to come but were already booked (popular lot you are, aren't you!) so I will be scheduling a repeat in October - stay tuned for that.  Still finalising my October schedule, and it feels like I just figured out September... Why does time pass so quickly as I get older?!  Why do I have to keep getting older, too?!

OK so here's another example of me getting carried away with my new toys.  Well at least I can say I've certainly used my lovely new dies enough to justify having bought them in the first place!

I went a little crazy making these treat holders using the Two Tags die, the new Oval Designer Frame embossing folder, Just Add Cake patterned paper and some other things which I can't be bothered listing for you, ha!  I've only recently really "discovered" the gorgeous Organza ribbon we've had for quite some time, and now I can't get enough of it!  It's one of the most economical ribbons we have in the catalogue at $14.50 (plus shipping) for a whopping 13.7m of it.  I think I used about 16cm of ribbon for each of these treats, so you could make a lot of these with one roll.  There's a mini chocolate bar tucked away inside each of these treats, I've had to defend the jar against Miss 7 who has her beady eyes on it!

The photo is deceiving by the way - the container is pretty huge!  It's 16cm in diameter and 25cm high.  So even though it's not full yet, there's a lot of treats in here.

Why did I make so many of these?  I wanted to give my customers a little gift, to show how much I appreciate them.  We're all watching our money these days, and I love to give you a little extra now and then to thank you for choosing me as your Demonstrator and supporting my business, and to inspire you (and in this case, give you a wee sugar rush!).  I'll be giving one of these away with every order of $25 or more, from now until I run out of chocolate (lol I just bought another 30 bars last week...) or I get sick of making them, whichever comes first.  So just contact me (click here) to get your hands on one!

Happy stamping!
