Thanksgiving Treats!

Here are the treats I made for one of my red hat groups for our annual early Turkey Day Dinner at Bob Evans. I love the way they came out. Of course, I filled them with chocolate!

I used Gesso Canvas Primer on them first (that is the white area) and then used the baby wipe technique using the solid leaf image to get the varied colors and then I used Versamark and gold embossing powder with the leaf outline image.

More Thanksgiving Treats

I made these 1x8 little treat bags with Fall M&Ms for my red hat Scarlet Sophisticates group. Every year we go to Bob Evan's for an early Thanksgiving feast. I handed these and a little turkey nugget out all the gals. We do love our chocolate - LOL!

I had enough left over of each for DH to take and give out to his van pool the next day. I even had a request for the bags and toppers from one of my ladies. SHe was in charge of a craft project for the kids on Thanksgiving and thought these would be cute (and easy) for them to do and then write everyones names on them and use them for place setters as well. So I made another run up to Woodbridge the next day to take the bags and pre-punched scallops and pre-stamped images to her. She had to use Reeses Pieces in hers as neither of us could find the Fall colored M&Ms anymore.

More Halloween Fancy Favor boxes

This past Wednesday my Red Hat Scarlet Sophisticate group went to the Bavarian Chef German Restaurant for dinner. It was delicious, but still not as good as my favorite German restaurant in Ft. worth - Edelweiss. They have spoiled me for all others, I think! Anyway, I made more of the candy wrapper treats (pictured in previous post) for the ladies and these with the fancy favor box and Wicked Cool stamp set for Queen Jeri and Vice-Queen Fran.

Here are a few pictures of the ladies in their regalia.

Jewelry Class

Friday was a busy day. We just had Verizon Fios hooked up last Sat. for our computer, phone, and TV, so I had to take the controllers and such back to Comcast and cancel our service with them, finally made it there on Thurs. and found out I had forgotten about the internet modem, so I had to take that back on Fri., got our closing bill amount and paid it off (less than the bill I had that was due, so that worked out great). I then had to pick a check up from Margarethe's house and deposit it for her Stampin' Up! order, buy the time I got that all done, there was no way I was going to make it up to Woodbridge (about 45min. away) for lunch, so I stopped and got a Slaw dog at a new little restaurant next to the new credit union branch, ate and then headed on up to meet with some of my Red Hat Scarlet Sophisticate girls for Canasta. Afterwards, some of us headed out to dinner at Moe's Southwestern Grill for dinner and then to Caleb's Lighthouse Bead Store for a jewelry Class. Below is the watch I made. We had a choice of this watch, a double strand bracelet or 1 of 2 single strand bracelets. We all made this watch, but we changed out the dull red beads they had given us for some shinier ones - since we are all about the shiny bling! Joanne decided to make the band of hers as a single strand using the Swarovski Crystals and the red hearts and silver spacers from one of the single strand bracelets. Wish I had gotten a picture of it as it came out really nice. (I will try to get one when she wears it and add it to this post)
