AND Here We Go! Cutest Halloween Gifting At The Office?

It's my time!  The time of year when I am just happy.  I can't put my finger on what EXACTLY causes my crazy good mood.... the weather gets cooler and the colors change and I begin preparing for what really is (in this girl's humble opinion) "the most wonderful time of the year".  I never understood why I sang songs about the dead of winter being the "most wonderful time" when CLEARLY pumpkin spiced lattes, cozy sweaters and free candy season makes it to the top of the wonderful-time list!  Am I right?!?  And it also helps that now I'm prepping for Halloween gifting (those of you who know me know I LOVE Halloween gifting) so today's post is featuring mini-gift packaging that is super-easy to make and you can do a lot of them easily for the folks at the office.  I've also included a not-just-for-Halloween card that, again, is super easy but cute as can be. 

And speaking of "cute".... Stampin Up!'s Cutest Halloween is what I'm featuring today.  I mentioned it in the video (link at the bottom), the bundle will save you 10%, but the punch in the bundle is not required.  These are EASY, EASY, EASY to cut out.  There are no detailed lines and the images are not too big and not too small... simple fussy cutting.  BUT, I know there are folks out there who hate the f-word and the punch DOES punch out the designer series paper images, so for some (me.... I'm 'some') getting the 10% discounted bundle makes so much sense!  If you are one of those that is aiming for the bundle... the price already reflects the discount as long as you select the bundle item number.  I've included that in the FREE project PDF (you will see the link to the free PDF just under the last project picture).  On to this week's projects:


I showed in the video a couple of "treat" ideas for this tiny treat box.  I'm a little obsessed!  PLEASE share in the comments any idea YOU have for things that will fit in this adorable packaging!


Smile is right!!!! This card is SO GREAT to give to anyone for anything!  And it is one of those cards that allows you to use up all those scraps lying around!  Put a different color in every window and EASILY change up the them for anything you need!  LOVE!  Psssssst.... there's another Christmas version of this coming up in the Holiday Penguins Class.... check the videos below for a sneak peek!


Be warned... this little box is small, but MIGHTY!!!  The box holds TWO packs of the Little Debbie Brownies and sits perfectly upright!  I made this thinking about a co-worker finding it next to their computer.... the presentation factor on this one is perfection! And those brownies are VERY inexpensive making this one really cost-effective if you're busting out a gift for everyone at the office!

You can get everything you need for these projects by clicking the "Shop With Me" tab at the top of this blog under my title banner and remember.... an order of $35 or more this week in my online store using Host/Hostess code QTBVGHQV gets you each of these project make n' take kits for FREE!!!!  And you still have a couple more days of Sale-a-bration!  Bumping that $35 order to $50 earns you an additional FREE Sale-a-bration item.... but there's only a couple of days left for that!

Stay tuned for more Halloween-goodness next week!  YAY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Past 7 Days....

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...

Curse You 21 Jumpstreet and Heed My Warnings

Ok, so I rented it and I loved it!!!  I hate that I loved it!  And I hate myself even more that I'm running out to buy it!  But watching this HILARIOUS movie remake reminds me of all the broken dreams and unanswered questions I was left with as a teenage girl while I manipulated and maneuvered my black and white TV antennae unavailingly to give me a clear picture of the hit Fox TV show. Back in 1987, Fox was a new station and did not come through very clearly on that trusty black and white and most nights it was as if my beloved Penhall was communicating to me from the other side through all that white noise.  Yes, I was in love with Officer Doug James Penhall and that teenage ritual would literally foreshadow the pain and heartbreak I would endure watching the end of 21 Jump Street the movie... and I'm STILL compelled to buy it.  If you haven't seen the movie yet, this post might come as a shock and should definitely be considered a spoiler for anyone readin...

I Love Being Hit By Mack Trucks

Ok, so my friend Cindy came over to play with all her new Stampin Up goodies.  When I first looked at the Yippee Skippee stamp set I fell in love with all but ONE stamp, "Never Underestimate The Power of Two"????  What the heck does that mean???  Is that supposed to be a "couples" stamp, like for Valentines or weddings or something?  I don't know, but when you apply that sentiment to alcohol, well..... Isn't it JUST so obvious how perfect this sentiment is?!?  I mean, it was like being hit with a Mack truck!  LOL!  Cindy and I were SOOOO proud of ourselves!!!  This card is AWESOME!!!!  We added the "or three" to the end realizing that it is just funnier that way!!!  We used a TON of Stampin Up goodies for this card: Inks and Papers - Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White Stamp Sets - Yippee Skippy, Happy Hour Tools - Big Shot, Banners Framelits, Paper Piercer, Paper Piercing Mat Additional - Li...
