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 Holder


I've been inspired by a few card makers to make something with the papers and rubberstamps that I have purchased. Over this holiday weekend I created this candy holder. Holiday paper is from the Holiday Slab V by Provo Craft and the Holiday Rubber Stamp by Studio G. This treat holder can hold (4 or 5 Peppermints), (2 or 3 Hershey Minis), (1-Tic Tac), and (1-Icy Breeze Breath Mints).
