Greetings from Toledo!!! Up here hanging out at the Great Lakes Mini Meet. If you're in the area, stop on by! I'm teaching a card class and we have a booth set up with lots of great Jillibean products and samples!!!!
Oh shoot - I meant to take a photo of my vehicle pulling this little Uhaul trailer. I'm the one driving and it's quite interesting pulling this thing as well as parking with it. I had to back it in to unload it and it took me at least 20 tries to get it in right! The security guard was shaking his head at me! Ha!
Well, today I have a quick project to share with you - another gift idea - Sour Cream containers. I love these things and was completely amazed at how quickly they go together!
These would look cute on your Thanksgiving table! Fill them with a special treat that your loved one could open after dinner ;). I'll post a quick tutorial next Tuesday on how to make these cuties.
Next up, I want to remind you that we still have Advent Calendar kits in the shopping cart. There's still time to make one of these for the family.
You'll get everything you need to make 24 brown bag Advent Calendar pieces. Click here if you're interested in ordering one.
Finally, the GIVEAWAY I mentioned!!! I keep forgetting to share the 2 new stamp sets!! The first set goes with our latest release - Hearty Barley and the second set is a much needed sentiment set (that can be purchased individually at Unity)!!! Check them out...
I used the "Hope You're Swell" on one of the Sour Cream containers above - thought it would be sweet to put on someone's desk when they're having a bad day.
Guess what? I have 2 sets to GIVEAWAY!!! If you would like to win one of these - simply leave a comment about what you're Thankful for. As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday - it's always a great reminder of the wonderful things we have in our lives.
Have a great weekend!
Jill-o
I have so much to be thanful for - family, a roof over our heads, food in our refrig, our health. It is so easy to take these things for granted.
Also thankful for being able to scrap!
