Prepping for the Holidays Blog Hop

 Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are having a great start to your week. Can't believe we are halfway through November already. Wasn't Halloween just yesterday?  Well, it is the 14th of the month and that means a great blog hop for you to enjoy. This month with the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop we are showcasing Christmas projects for you. You will be pleased with a variety of projects from card to gifts, to home decor projects. Definitely something for everyone.

I'm sharing with you a couple of projects that were made at my annual Fall Retreat that was held this weekend.  These are both great little gift ideas to give to friends, family, coworkers or neighbors just to say thanks and I'm thinking about you this Holiday season.

I just covered some clothespins with designer series paper, added a magnet to the back of the clothespins and made a little card to attach the set of clothespins to. They fit perfectly into one of our clear envelopes which makes the perfect package to give your gift in.

Then, we have some great covered chocolate. Take a strip of designer paper and cover your chocolate. I took a little bit of cardstock (5 1/4" x 2", scored a 1/4" on each long side) to make a "holder" for the candies. Place in one of our great 2"x8" cello bags, tie it closed and make a quick tag to attach to the top for another perfect gift that you can give to delivery people, bankers, servers or anyone really.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed these projects. Don't forget to head on over to Patty's blog for another Christmas project by clicking next. If you click the previous blog you will head back to Judy's blog for another great project. Be sure to check everyone's blogs out. I promise you will be inspired. Happy Stamping!
