Jillibean Soup Bean Talk: What's up Tuesday?

What's up Tuesday?

Jill here on this Tuesday before Thanksgiving! I loved reading everyone's "thankful" comments on last Friday's giveaway. I too have so very much to be thankful for - I'm reminded every time I see my 3 girls. My middle daughter had a Thanksgiving play yesterday and she was the cutest little Indian girl. I didn't cry but had "wet" eyes from pride. We are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your blessings too.

With that said, how about I pick a winner for the stamp sets?

Random Generator picked #86 and #133...

#86 Congrats to Jeannie L!!! You win the Hearty Barley Set!

I'm thankful for my husband and my family! Thankful for the each & every day I get to live my life doing things I enjoy.

Congrats ladies! When you get a minute, can you send your mailing info to [email protected] so we can get your stamp set out to you! Thank you again to everyone that left a comment.

Also, I mentioned I would share a short tutorial on the sour cream containers. Here you go...

Step 1: Grab your papers, tacky tape (or some other sticky tape), twine, crimper and embellies.

Step 2: Cut your paper to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Step 3: Put tacky tape (or some other sticky tape) on 3 sides - 1 short and 2 long. Make sure to put the tape on the backside - or the patterned side that will be in the inside of your container. Peel off the tape cover.

Step 4: Roll 2 short sides together, overlap to form roll (like toilet paper roll).

Step 5: Pinch one of the ends together (I usually have the seam in the middle).

Step 6: Add your treats.

Step 7: Once you've filled it with treats, pinch it closed by pinching the second end in the opposite direction of the first seam.

Step 8: Crimp edges with a crimper. You can skip this step if you do not have a crimper. They still look cute ;).

Step 9: Embellish.

These cuties have become one of my favorite new things to make. I know they've been around for a while and I did not create anything new! I love the simplicity of them!
