I was watching a video this evening on the Christmas with the Cricut Blog, and the video showed the making of this bag. And just my luck I had that cartridge and I just had to make the bag. Here is my try.

Holiday Washcloth Baskets & Sock Jars

I was asked to create a few small gifts to give away. The first is a jar filled with socks w/rubber stoppers on the bottom and the other is a washcloth basket filled with hand sanitizers. These baskets can also be filled with lotions and a body spritz and foot creams. You can even add socks.

Green Holiday Tree

Well, I have arranged my candy display at work and I have obtained a few orders. One in particular is the white wooden tree, but co-worker wanted it in green and wanted holders for Teas and not chocolates.

Holiday Treat Tree

I wanted to create a tree using handmade paper ornaments. I saw something similar the other day while blog hopping, only thing I changed was the candy holders, which by the way has candy inside. The three tier arrangement has Chocolate covered Oreos and Chocolate Covered Pretzels. and my candy pot is just filled with an assortment of candies.
