just a note...

Hey, hey!! well, in the weeks to come you'll be seeing a lot of creations i've been working on for some craft fairs coming up as i add the final touches... it's been a whirlpool in my craft room... many projects going on all at once and piles and piles of mess... hehehe! once the craft fairs are done my little space will need some major re-organizing... =D this is where i wish i had some magic dust...

my BFF sent me this really cute note holder paper mache box she found at a craft fair in hopes that i could case it some how... and well, i finally got around to doing it...
really simple and as you see here, got to use a lot of scraps... inside the box i added some small paper and binder clips and you can add a picture or not where i have the "just a note" piece... really small to fit next to your computer or just to add color to your desk/space... all you do is cut your paper scraps to fit around the paper mache box... cover a large binder clip with coordinating or the same DP... add some kind of embellishment and on mine i add a ribbon to the binder clip so pictures/notes don't slip all the way down...
also cased the mini post it note holder that was include with my RAK... again, got to play with scraps... =D that's always a plus... based these little matchbook post its wiht white (or in that one case, black) CS and used the same DPs as the holders above... with the feeling that these will be thrown away once all the post its are used up i simly added a "hello" sentiment by Hero Arts rather than dress these babies up...

i got a chance to package all of them, sans the "just a note" shown in the top photo because it didn't quite fit in the packagin i bought... hehe...

if you're looking for a simple gift for that someone in your office or know someone that would like to use this at home or just looking for a gift, hit me up... these are available for sale or you can come check it out at any of the upcoming crafts fairs we are doing this season... visit the Krisp Krafts blog for event details...

alrighty... got a busy weekend ahead of me and i'm still in the midst of preparations... there's a CUPCAKE Blog Hop happening on Saturday and i'll be sharing some things i'll be doing for Ben Franklin Crafts 60th Anniversary celebration on Maui, also this Saturday... Stay tuned for more creations!! and as always, THANK YOU for spending some time with me!!

Treats and Baskets

{ETA: the title... LOL}

Hello, hello!!! ok, bare with me as i try and write up this post lazy and still wanting to go back to sleep... (yes 11am and i'm still sleepy...) late night yesterday, and i'm doing another one tonight!! i can already feel myself bouncing off the walls! haha! yah right! but it will be another late nighter... we have an event tomorrow at the college... the Valley Isle Keiki Fest from 11 - 4pm at the UH Manoa Maui campus... it's a FREE event so if you're on the island, come on down! Free keiki games, entertainment, food booths, vendors and crafts....

hmmm so what do i have to share today??? i must say i'm excited to be posting on a regular basis again... but how long will it last?? LOL... maybe i shouldn't have said that... ok, ok, my sharing.... oh right! gift baskets and things....

so here are my gifting items... i'll be selling some tomorrow... you might remember those fry boxes i created a few weeks ago and the Easter baskets i cased from Karen... now you can see them stuffed with goodies.... this is the fry box stuffed with a granola bar, some yummy BR hard candy, a noteholder pin, pen and some paper and binder clips... perfect gift to give to that someone on your ADMINISTRATIVE team to tell them you appreciate all of their hardwork... but don't let this gift stop there... you could also use them to give to your child's teacher or as a Mother's Day gift... or even EASTER...

here is bunnies new home.... after trying to find something to cover up the ends i decided to just punch out circles for the coordinating paper.... it was much easier to coordinate than finding the right stamp, the right colors, etc... this one is in Easter theme but i have others with well-rounded papers that could be used to gift for any occasion... don't let the bunies fool you too!! besides Easter, they make great favors for baby showers or just to give... these baskets are filled with a bunny to love, mini bubbles (in the middle) pixie sticks and some chocolates....

phew, are you still with me??? hehe! sorry for the long post.... but i must end now... busy day with last minute errands as we prep for tomorrow... oh i NEED caffeine!! =D Thanks for dropping in today and cheers to a beautiful weekend ahead!! Come back soon!!
