Tea for .... well, One!

TGIF once again!!! Here we are again - peeking at more goodies that you will find on my craft table this weekend!!! This item is another one of the those great teacher's or co-worker's gift ideas!!!

Picture yourself.... it is snowing out and you are sitting in your favorite overstuffed chair, getting ready to dig into your newest book and it seems like there is something missing. What could it be? A warm, steaming mug of tea!!! Here is the perfect thing!

A gift packet with a single tea bag perfect for giving! Add one of these to the tea lover's stocking or along with a nice mug and a gift certificate from the local bookstore and - voila! The perfect gift!

I used a small piece of paper and scored it in two places to create the flap and the pocket! I added a scalloped edge punched piece of card stock to the edge of the pocket, some ribbon and closed it with 2 small brads, rather than sticky strip to make sure it held down (and because I do not have any more!!)

The front is similar to a card and I added a small stamped image and matted it for depth. Inside the lid I added a cute sentiment and punched it out with the large scallop circle punch! Easy peasy! I will be working on more of these to add to my collection of them!

Be sure to stop by the TW Kelly Middle School in Dixfield on Saturday (from 9-2) and see the crafters and their wares! Be sure to say hi!!!

Thanks for popping in today!

Just a few more ideas!!!

Hey there! I have those pictures I promised you!!! These items were mostly cased from Splitcoast Stampers (here) and embellished depending on what I had in my space!!! I had so much fun making these items! They just flew together easily and I think (hope) that everyone likes them as much as I do!!!

The first items are cocoa packet sliders! When you untie the ribbon and pull, a yummy cocoa packet pops out! I think these are awesome co-worker or teachers gifts!! I would love to see one sitting on my desk some cold, dreary morning! I used a multiple array of papers and will add some more embellishments to the fronts!

Did you see the Santa owl??? I was surfing the other day and came across a picture of one like him and fell in love!!! I think I need to add a small white pompom to the hat to finish him off! And perhaps some glitter to his hat!

I even had some pink Christmas-y paper and had to make one out of that! And the paper with the polar bears has some glitter on it to add some much needed bling! The pictures do not do the packets justice at all! You will have to stop by my craft fairs to see them in person!!

The last few still need a little extra embellishments on the front to finish them off but I had to share the wonderful paper. I am such a paper hoarder that it was hard for me to cut that paper up! I am getting better! I think that there must be a 42 step process for us paper hoarders somewhere!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow as I have another treat to share!!! Thanks for popping in!!!

Happy Humpday!!

Wow - it is Wednesday already!! I am soo looking forward to the weekend. The hubby will be hunting and the kiddo will be at an Olympians fall harvest event at church! That means....... scraptime!!!

Today I wanted to share a couple of quick pics of some grocery list/notepads that my super friend Katie taught me to make. These are great gifts and so easy to make. All you need is some notepads, misc paper and an embellishment! You can even cut them in half to make them smaller! Add a small magnet to the back if you want to hang on the fridge! Super stocking stuffer for a secret pal or co worker!

Enjoy your day and I will see what neat things I can come up with tomorrow! Happy Day!
