Excuse my absence. We are running a hospital ward around here. I was sick on Sunday & Monday which made saying good-bye to my parents much easier. I just waved and went back to bed for two days. Pete was sick Monday. Tyler got it Tuesday & Wednesday and stayed home from school and Micky was home today. So I am waiting for the last patient to come down with it. It is just that yucky head cold, sore throat, and aches. Oh how I hate to be ill and hate even more when everyone else gets it and I have to play nurse. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they all return to their respective positions tomorrow.
So on a happy note……..This weekend is Valentine's Day. I love this holiday. It celebrates love, chocolate and flowers. You gotta love any holiday that celebrates chocolate! I thought I would share the gifts I made for the kid's teachers. I altered boxes of Chocolate with matching cards.
So this is how the box started out………..
But I turned them into this…….
Each box of chocolate has a lot of pretty embellishments and a matching Valentine's Day Card
Supplies: Helmar Adhesives: Liquid Scrap Dots (for all that dimension), Gemstone Glue, Acid Free Glue, & Premium Craft Glue. Paper & Stickers: Basic Grey Bittersweet. Buttons: Buttons Galore & More.
Those were fun and easy to make and so much prettier than that plain old box. Don't ya think?
