“Be Mine” Treat Holder

I have been eyeing this die from SU for a long time. As soon as it came out, I knew I wanted it, but I resisted. Then school started this year and I met my new students, and then I met the parents. Well, one of my parents happens to be a SU rep, and I no longer had an excuse NOT to place an order. So of course, this die was the first thing on my list!!

I love how this little box goes together. It is really neat how it closes without needing any ribbon or adhesive!! A bunch of these may end up in the staff room this February!!

Almost Halloween

Last weekend at the crop I hosted, I worked on some fun little Halloween treats to give to a few of my friends at work. I think they turned out pretty cute!!

I have had these cute buckets for a year or two. I am pretty sure I picked them up at the Target Dollar Spot.

  

I broke out some of my new PaperTrey Ink goodies (yes, I use products other than CTMH once in a while!) to make the tags—Tiny Treats: Valentines stamp set, and Mat Stack 1 die. PTI’s dies are to die for—LOL!! But seriously, they are the best dies I have ever used. Now I want them all!!!!!

Each bucket held a couple of Halloween pencils (Michaels), a Halloween band-aid (Michaels), a test tube (PTI) filled with skull & bones candy (Target), a cello bag (clearbags.com) filled with orange, green & purple M&Ms (Michaels), a sheet of monster stickers (Learning Palace), and……………..

a coffin (Michaels) filled with these cuties…………………….

Nutter Butter ghosts and…………….

 

Oreo mummies!!!! Aren’t these just adorable!!!! I have seen both of these cookie ideas several places on the internet and decided I had to try them out this year. I think they were a hit!

Have a safe & happy Halloween!!
