Rocks and Cards

Chocolate nuggets

 I had chocolates left over from the "He Popped the Question Tin."  So I made the Valentine tray.

Birthday gift wrap

I was posting the picture below and thought I need a side view photo.  So I started taking more pictures...then thought I should put my hand under the handle so you guys can see that I made a handle with the scrap gift wrap paper. 

The funny thing is I kept telling myself that the gift was

too heavy for the handle.  But I wouldn't listen to myself!

I was trying to take a picture of me holding the gift

by the handle and it broke.  Well, I am glad I always keep the extra scraps...I needed them after I broke the handle

  See, being Frugal can pay off sometimes.

It looks good as new but I will not be lifting it by the handle. 

The yellow arrows show where the paper ripped. 

Oh! I forgot to tell you how I make the handle. By the way... great for lighter gifts.  I fold the extra gift wrap paper so it is long and narrow.  I tape wire on the inside, so you can give shape or hold onto the handle.

I usually tuck the wire under the wrapping paper so you can't see it but I didn't do that this time so you could see it.

Sayings

Thanksgiving 2015

I made napkin rings, pumpkin place setting cards and Caramel Apples this Thanksgiving.  The pumpkin place setting cards were a little time consuming but I think they were worth it because they really looked cute on the plates.

DONUT CAKE

Michael loves donuts so I decided to make him a donut cake for his birthday.  Since his birthday is December 24th so I am always busy and stressed.   I was even too lazy to go to the actual donut shop to get the donuts, I won't make that mistake again.  This cake would have been a big hit if I had gotten Michael's favorite donuts from the donut shop. 

I was looking at old pictures and saw this donut

cake I made for my youngest son last year.  Boy, I must be sick of making cakes, both boys got donut cakes.
