Please make sure you leave comments on all of the blogs to have a chance at 7 grand prizes!!! Woo-hoo! Yep 7!!
For my project I made a candy box, now I have had this idea for several months and I finally made my ideas into a project! The candy box is from Joann's bead section (you can also find at Michael's) and it was 50% off so it cost me $1. The candy cost me about $1.50, so my project was about $2.50! I cut the reindeer from Christmas Cheer and I used up some of my sticker stash and used 2 sentiment stickers one that say Merry Christmas that I put over the tinsel like fibers, and the other sentiment sticker that I put next to the deer says "It's a Holly Jolly christmas". I put googly eyes on him and used my i-rock from the red bling. I also put gold stickles on the collar. To adhere all of the paper with my ATG gun I just measured it out and cut it out with my paper trimmer, and went back with my craft knife to trim excess pieces. It was so perfect because I only had to use on sheet of 12x12 paper from the DCVW Christmas stack from Michael's.
A close up of the cute little deer and sentiment sticker!
Look here! This is snowflake RIBBON wrapped around the entire box!
Mmmmmm chocolate! I am a chocoholic!
Here is my box that I used to create my project. You can buy at Michael's/Joann's
Here is my blog candy!To win these Fiskars Stamps all you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me what is your favorite treat to eat at Christmas Time!!

I love this idea! The first thing that came to my mind was a person could re-use it (after all the candy was gone) to store small Christmas ornaments! Oh and my favourite treats are peanut butter balls! I even tried freezing them in the past to keep us out of them but soon discovered even frozen they are wonderful lol!
