S'more Please

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you are staying cool as so many are in some hot areas. We get hot, then cool down 20 to 25 degrees. So I can't complain! Plus it is nice to not have the AC running 24/7 all summer long. Of course I guess it isn't quite summer yet. My back is doing much better and I'm back to mowing the grass...slowly. With the cost of gas, I needed to be back at it as Bret is three towns (20 min) over from me so it was a lot of running on him. Although he is in town often, still made me feel guilty with all the running he was doing. But so thankful for him!

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.

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,
