Yummy Little Christmas

Do you like to give out yummy treats
over the Christmas season?
Today’s project is the perfect wrapping
for a yummy little treat.
I “cased” this project from the
Holiday Catalog — page 7.
I wanted my treat box to have a little
more Christmas flair so I switched out
the colors.
Made with Love
I added a cookie to one of our gusseted cello bags
and sealed the bag with a piece of Candy Cane Lane
Washi Tape.
Made with Love Cookie
Isn’t this just the cutest.
And it’s super simple to make.

Treat Holder Directions
1. Real Red – 4″ x 10″
score 1/2″ down each long edge
score at 4 3/4″ & 5 1/4″
snip little tabs.
Box Tabs
Add Tear & Tape to little tabs and long edges as shown.
Creating Box 1
Peel off white covering and fold tab up over edge
Creating Box 2
This helps give you a clean inside for putting treats — no tab to get stuck on
Creating Box 3
Peel off white covering and fold long edges over to create your box.

Now for the tag – Whisper White (2 3/8″ x 4″)
Use the Cheerful Tags framelits
Lay the tag over the cardstock as shown.
Tag 1
Place the top acrylic plate over the framelit
covering on the top scallop edge.
Tag 2
Run through Big Shot.
By placing the plate over only the scallop
edge, it will cut only that — not the score
line or the end of the tag.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

'Twas the day before Thanksgiving
and all through the house
everyone is preparing for the feast of feasts.
We all have different traditions and foods that we eat.
For me the hardest part of the day is not getting to spend it
with ALL the people we want.

Most people have Pumpkin Pie and many other desserts
on Thanksgiving Day.  My mother-in-law, Pat, always had
Pumpkin, Apple and Lemon Meringue pies but
"THE" dessert that everyone wanted was her Molasses Cookies.
Those cookies became the prized Christmas gifts a month later too.
She would bake batches of them — and those were her treat to me.
She would always hide a couple so I wouldn't miss out.
I never made the cookies with her, but we talked about her
recipe (though she never followed the recipe as written).
After watching the new movie, Almost Christmas, this past weekend
Pat was on my mind (she passed away 1 1/2 years ago).
I dug out the passed down recipe and last night baked my
first batch of Pat's Molasses Cookies.  They aren't as good
as hers were but it did make me feel closer to her.
Pat's Molasses Cookies
Here's a small portion of what I baked.
Yes, there is a lot of flour — the recipe is so soft it's hard to
roll them.  I rolled them thinner than she did so my first batch
turned out crispier — hers were always soft.
I have to frost them yet but I got pretty close.
So I will try again — Pat, here's to YOU!!!
Miss you this Thanksgiving.

Spend time enjoying your family this year.
The shopping can wait one more day.
You can't get the day back once it's gone.
