Project: Christmas Pillow for a Co-Worker

I needed a quick gift for my District Supervisor, who is an amazingly kind individual, with a fun quirky personality.    Using White Glitter HTV and the Joy Burst Design from Silhouette Design Store.   A cute gift in under a couple of hours.

The pillow case came in my December Silhouette Life Inspiration Box.  It was demonstrated using confetti HTV, which I had a lot of difficulty working with.  I just couldn't get the blade setting correct, to where it cut completely through the Vinyl but not through the transfer sheet too.  ANd then when I confetti HTV to start weeding, it cracked and split.   Not gonna give up, will try it on another project in the new year.   Luckily, I had the white glitter HTV on hand.

Supplies:
Joy Burst Design
Pillow Case Covers from Amazon
18 x 18 pillow insert

I Wish You Enough......

.....   is said, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them".

 

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Project: Santa Sacks

Santa Sacks have become a very popular way to wrap Santa's gift for your child. 

And I received one in my November Silhouette Life Inspiration Box.

And although my kids are in their 20s, I still wanted to make one for each of them. 

 I purchased the preprinted sacks on Amazon, and just added their names.

Using different fonts for each name.

Cranberry HTV for the boys and dark red glitter HTV  for Melissa.

SUPPLIES:

Santa Sacks from Amazon  10 for $66.00

Cranberry and dark red glitter HTV from Expressions Vinyl

Subscription Box: FabFitFun WInter 2016

This is my second seasonal box from FabFitFun.

And although it has a lot of nice items, my favorite still remains the Fall 2016 Box.

They pack it very nicely and securely.

The first item was a soy candle from DL&Company,

The scent is Bergamot Woods and smell heavenly.  Like a wintery Christmas Day.

 This silver design and nice fragrance is going to make a perfect Hostess gift this Holiday Season.

The second items is a box of 10 postcards from Marie Mae Company. 

This is not something I would have purchased, as I make my own cards. But I like the simple elegant design. Although I will probably add some texture to them prior to sending the cards out.

 The third item is Butter London Iconoclast Mega Volume Lacquer Mascara

Next is the Anderson Lilley Beach Butter Body Cream, Winter in Manhattan Beach

A rich and hydrating cream that is going into my purse right away.  Love the softness

A Moleskine Planner for 2017 is always a nice thing to have as an extra "just in case" gift.

I have a planner that I love, but I have some friends in mind for this item.

In this cute little bag is a Gorjana Necklace:  Kiernan Double Pendant Necklace in silver.

This will look cute on a black turtleneck sweater. 

Not sure if I am keeping or regifting.

There is also a $20 gift card for their website.

The last item is a ORG Skincare Mineral Peel Face

An all natural enzyme exfollant that is sprayed on and massaged off.

FabFitFun also includes information on a Charity of the Season. 

This Winter it is Starlight Children's Foundation

Each year, more than 30 million children in the US suffer from a critical, chronic or terminal illness.

Many of these kids experience long hospital stays, painful medical treatments and sometimes a scary and uncertain future.  Starlight turns pain, fear and stress into laughter, fun and joy – because a sick kid is still a kid at heart.  Starlight brings happiness to sick kids at more than 700 community partners, including children's hospitals, across the US and Puerto Rico. They support all children who are struggling with a serious illness or injury of any kind.  Starlight partners with world-class brands and companies, charitable foundations, socially aware groups and organizations and philanthropic individuals to bring entertainment, education and innovative technology to sick kids through our nationwide network of community partners.

Suscription Box: FabFitFun Mystery Bundle

 For and additional $29, I was able to add a mystery box onto my quarterly subscription box from FabFitFun.    Knowing that it could be anything I was hoping for something I would be able to regift at Christmas.

I will try the primer and regift the other items.   The value was worth the risk for me.
