Well, I was busy doing some copying of designs again. This time I copied myself - LOL! Bath & Body Works had their 4 oz candles on sale again, 2 for $10.00, so I purchased a few as teacher gifts. Then I packaged them up like I did for my friend's gift back in November (see post here):
This is what the candle looked like before I wrapped it . . .
Of course I had to bling up those cute cherries with Stickles!
Voila! A gift ready to give to a special teacher!
Supplies:
- Cupcake holder cut from Real Red Stampin' Up cardstock using Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge at 7 1/2 inches
- Cherry patterned paper from Stampin' Up Summer Picnic Designers Series paper
- Cherries cut from Cricut Country Life cartridge and blinged with Stickles
- Darice red gingham ribbon
- Scrappy Mom's new Honeydew Baker's Twine
- Tag printed from PC using Scrap Baby font and cut with Fiskars Scallop Paper Edgers
Also, I wanted to share what I received from my older daughter/crafting buddy for Mother's Day last weekend:
I got one of those yummy smelling Slatkin & Co. Summer Berries candles from Bath & Body Works (which she knew I liked) with a homemade tag, a hand-drawn horse in a frame, AND a homemade horse card using the Cricut and Gypsy!! She made it while I wasn't home, so I was so impressed that she made it and put all of my supplies neatly away without me even suspecting! Pretty awesome, huh?
My younger daughter gave me a sweet handmade card, some Bath & Body Works lip gloss and travel-sized shower gel that I wanted, and a very thoughtful handmade mini-poster of things about me from her perspective. I wanted to keep those equally special gifts a little more private, though. I sure was spoiled this Mother's Day, wasn't I?
I hope to keep my crafting momentum going and make some more things this week. Go, Jen, go!

This is just fabulous! Those cherries turned out just so pretty...great gift! Thanks for joining our challenge at FCCB.
This is cute! Isn't it funny when you copy off yourself! I think it means you must have had a pretty fantastic idea the first time!
That is so sweet what your daughters did for you. It looks like you've got a great little crafter!
Very pretty set there! Love the spin on using cherries instead of the classic apple. Nice to see something different. :0) Thanks for joining us for the challenge at FCCB! Good luck!
