Candles and Cocoa

Happy Hump Day.  It's taking everything I have to get through this week at work.  I work only 2 more days before Christmas.  After Christmas is another story, a different kind of stress.  I'll worry about that the 26th.

Isn't this box just adorable?  My friend, Cheryl,  made it for a gift for her card club and made one for me too!  She used the clear acetate boxes we sell.  I gave her props to tie a bow with this Striped Ribbon.  There is wire around both edges so it's stiff when trying to tie it.  I tried once to make a bow and said that's enough.  Just knots for me. 

I made something smiliar for a hostess gift and forgot to take a picture.  The tealights fit perfectly and she picked great colors.  Love the gold glitter one.  I'm almost afraid to burn it.   Some other ideas to put inside would be bath salts, facial masks or maybe a small mani/pedi kit.  Of course, you could put 3-4 homemade cards and envelopes inside.  Dress up the box and you have a great gift.  Gift wrap not necessary.  

My other gifts I'll post at a later date.  So far this is the only one I have taken a picture of.

Until next time...Stampin' Always
