If you know me, you know I love to make Hershey Nugget boxes to give as little gifts. Of all the boxes I’ve ever made, this one is my favorite! The Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is stunning! I made this box for the Creative Crew on Splitcoast Stampers (CCREW1117TECH) and the Pal’s Blog Hop.

Paper: Year of Cheer Specialty DSP, Copper Foil Sheets

Accessories: Starlight Thinlits, Mini Sequin Trim, Silver 1/8″ Ribbon

Techniques: Nugget Box Tutorial by Lori Craig in the SCS Tutorials Section https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/nugget_boxes/

Tip- Use your bone folder on the backside of the Copper Foil Sheet to make it easier to wrap around the Hershey Nugget.

The graphic above shows some of the Nugget Boxes I’ve made in the past. Here’s the link to the directions for my 3 Nugget Box and 5 Nugget Box.

Blog Hop Line-up:

Parade of Merry Cafe Coffee Cards

Here’s another card I made for the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew. #CCREW1017SK #CreativeCrew #SUO

I think this is my favorite fall card I’ve made this year!

Stamps: Merry Cafe

Paper: Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper ( DSP), Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: Corrugated Elements, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Linen Thread

Here’s some more coffee cards made by me and others.

I didn’t become a coffee drinker until last year. Not sure how I made it through college without it. My very favorite coffee is Kona Vanilla Macadamia Nut. My favorite coffee shop is Mahalo’s Coffee shop in West Des Moines, IA. It’s a Hawaiian themed coffee shop that is adorable and smells so good. They make doughnuts in the shop, hence the good smell, but I don’t actually eat them. If you live in the Des Moines area, I’d love to meet you at Mahalo’s. Are you a coffee drinker? What’s your favorite?

These Coffee Cups Framelits make these cards fun and easy to make.

I love giving gift cards to the kid’s high school teachers because they totally don’t expect it! (Plus they deserve it!)

Well, we put the “W” flag away for the winter. The Chicago Cubs had a good run and we look forward to next year!

Steve’s Birthday is this week, so our sweet Ryan came home from college to rake leaves and go to a movie with Steve. He loves having Ryan as his “wing man.” We don’t do much with presents, but I bought something for Steve three months ago and hid it. The best part is, I remembered I had done that and actually found it and wrapped it up this weekend. The reason I’m a little shocked the present thing worked out, is because I do have some memory difficulties. I had cottage cheese before going to church and when we got back home, Steve found this in the cabinet.

LOL OK, so I meant to put it in the refrigerator. 🙂

On a more positive note, I’ve been making roast beef in the crock pot once a week. Since Ryan was coming home, I made this on Sunday. It’s chuck roast cooked on low in the crock pot all day, with caramelized onions, havarti cheese on sour dough bread. Everyone was pretty much in tummy heaven. I think they’ll keep me around for awhile longer, even though I occasionally store the cottage cheese in the cupboard!

Please leave a comment at the top of this post. I’d love to hear your favorite coffee or if you’d like to tell me I’m not the only one with memory issues!
