I have a birthday gift that I made to share today. My late husband's cousin loves chocolate and I do mean LOVES chocolate! She also loves S'mores. So I made her a caddy to carry her "supplies" out to the fire pit. I did a stencil with my Cricut and painted it on, then sanded to distress it as you know it will get bunged up and dirty as it is toted around. So I thought it would be better distressed as you wouldn't notice as much. I tucked in all the S'mores makings, extra chocolate because she babysits Monday through Friday and could use some chocolate on some challenging days, some cute kitchen towels and a red/white and blue beaded garland. It was well received thankfully!
Here is the front side with her name on it. Filled of course.
Other side of the tote/tool box.
Each side looks like this.
As always thank you for stopping by to visit with me for a spell because I know how busy everyone is. I always enjoy your company as you always bring much joy and sunshine to my life. If I haven't been by to visit, I will be soon.
Crafty Hugs,

You have a special knack for making great gifts for your friends and family! This is the perfect little treat for a chocolate lover and I love that you personalized it with her name! Great thinking, great gifting too, and you're a great friend to do this! I'm gonna go get my fireside chair and pull it up to the fire pit and cook myself a big ole smore now! *in my dreams* LOL Fun post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous gift Brenda - so practical as well as personal - I can understand the babysitting being challenging - just lets say I could have taken to the chocolate this afternoon...

Love this, Brenda. What a brilliant idea for a present! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Darlene just loved your special gift - anything chocolate is a welcomed gift, sounds like!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent, Brenda! I'm so glad you're doing better - now that it's pool time, the swimming might be just what the doctor ordered!

It's great your back is better and you are getting around. Bret is so good to you but I understand the high gas prices! This is such an awesome gift and so perfect for her.
ReplyDeleteYou are just amazing Brenda and what a thoughtful and fun gift, that will be used often, I'm sure. Good to hear you are out mowing the grass, even if it is slowly. We are supposed to be in a mini heatwave, yesterday was lovely so was this morning, this afternoon the clouds have come in temperature has dropped, and it looks like rain! That's Wales for you hahaha.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Hi Brenda, I'm just catching up on visiting after a busy time, and I just love this creative gift. It's such a great idea because it can be adapted to different types of gifts and I'm sure the recipient was delighted with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to hear your back is getting better - these things take much longer than we'd like as we get older, don't they!
Take care.
