Thanksgiving

 paper crafts I made for Thanksgiving
get together at work.  Also made treats to hand out, a Thanksgiving blessing mix.   Here are the ingredients.



 
HARVEST BLESSING MIX
Bugles
Shaped like a cornucopia or
horn of plenty, a symbol of our
nation's abundance.
Pretzels
Arms folded in prayer,
a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Candy Corn
Sacrifices of the pilgrims' first
winter. Food was so scarce that
settlers survived on just a few
kernels of corn a day.
Nuts or seeds
Promise of a future harvest, one
we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried fruits
Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
M & M's
Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.
Hershey Kiss
The love of family and friends
that sweetens our lives

Halloween

 mummy can made for my preschool kiddos.
recycled cans, wrapped with torn white paper, used my punches for the eyes.  I also glued and added some felt on the inside top of the can, that way the edge left from opening up the can won't hurt anyone. 

Halloween

Frankie bags I made for my sons teachers and my co-workers.  filled them with candy.  

cricut vinyl

 made this with my cricut using vinyl and a 12 X 12 floor tile I had laying around.  Tied a ribbon around the tile and added a tag for fall.  Changing out the ribbon & tag for each season.  Not bad for my 1st try.

Cricut

I decided to bling up my cricut.  This is my family, I think it turned out really cute. 
Used the paper dolls cartridge. 

Boxes

I made 113 boxes.  I just love this box, so easy to make.  I made boxes for my mom for her Elem school, made them for a friend for her Elem. school office staff, I made some for another friend for her Athletic staff and then I made some for my Aunt for her staff.  Boy was I busy.  They ended up filling them with popcorn & a drink, some also included office supplies.  They turned out really great.  I used a popcorn stamp set I bought from www.clearandsimplestamps.com, great stamp set.  Just love it.   I made the birthday tags for my mom to give out through the year to the Elem. staff on their birthday, she's going to attach them to candy bouquets.  I used the cricut cartridge DoodleCharms.
