More Glass Etching!

More Glass Etching!

Here is another present I made for my BF. This mug was a good find at Dollar Tree. My Mom ran across these, they are like big soup mugs. My Mom went back for more but unfortunately they were all sold out! boo...My assistant was helping me hold the mug for these pictures! She wanted to help her Mom out somehow. We filled this mug up with Hershey Kisses too! YUM
I made these ornaments for my Moms neighbor girls. Hi Kelly! She is like me, we buy all this crafty stuff and it sits there most of the time! We have this addiction to scrapbooking supplies and we can't help ourselves! haha The ornaments are a little tricky at first esp. if you haven't done too many etching items. The hardest part is the glass is not flat. So practice first on something that is flat.

St. Joesph presents

Well for Christmas at Abby's school they have an ornament exchange. Dave convinced me to make this ornament for one of her classmates. I was afraid since 1. it's breakable. 2. is it really exciting for a small child? I also gave them another ornament though. It did turn out cute though and I hope the little girl liked it. (it's hard to read what it says! sorry)












I also made gifts for the classroom. What I did was find some reasonable notebooks from the 1.00 store and put their names on top of the notebooks. I included a pen with it and inside the pen I put a piece of paper that said St. Joseph 1st graders ROCK!.
This is Ms. Toni's Bug Jar I made for her. She has a candy system, which the kiddos collect bugs each day and if you behave you can get up to 6 bugs. If you get 3 bugs you can get a piece of candy. So I thought she might like having this sitting out instead of her plain jar!





These are the gift bags I made for her teacher and the secretary at St. Joe's. I think I was making these at 1030 at night! I used my cricut to cut the bags, from the Tags & Boxes cartridge. I used my new stampin' up stamps! Love them..

Hershey Kiss Jars

Hello! I made these over Christmas time for Abby's great Aunts & Uncles. I thought they turned out adorable. I used my Pazzles machine to create the Hershey Kiss. I used vinyl and then I etched their names on the front. I hope they like them! I filled them with Hershey Kisses.

Valentine Boxes

Hello! It's been ages since I posted on here. But with Christmas and school getting back into the swing of things I will have more time to create and post new things! Atleast I hope so. It is sooo cold outside today, it's a great day to craft! Last night I was thinking of what I could do for Valentine's Day. I remember seeing on my Cricut a cute valentine box. So I made one, well I made a 4 in. box and it was teeny weeny. I was thinking what could I do with this. Well I put a little Hershey kiss inside and fits it perfectly. I thought my little girl could hand them out to friends around the neighborhood as the valentine. I have to make a label or something to add to it. But I thought it turned out cute.














Since I don't have the Cricut Expressions and I wanted a larger box. I decided to try and create my own box after this small one on my Pazzles. Well I stayed up until after 11 and made my version of the box. I cut one out last night too and it just needed some tweaks but it looks pretty good. I am going to cut another one out and fix it up and post it today. So off to play! Atleast I fed my husband lunch!


Here is my larger box I created from Pazzles. I added plastic with some small hearts and dots in side of it. That way if I put anything in the box it wont fall out. I can also delete the heart in the front of the box but I think it addes something. (Do you like my cranberry juice bottle i'm using! haha)
