As some of you may have realized, our family was away on vacation last week! I’m afraid my internet access was a bit spotty, so I decided not to fret about it and just enjoy the time with my family!
I’m back though, and have things to share with you. On Monday or Tuesday I will be sharing the new class schedule through September – yay! That is one work task I did work on while away. We’ve got some fun classes coming our way!
In the meantime, I thought I would share the little gift I prepared for the man who checks on our house while we are away (and he takes care of Stampin’ Up! boxes that come during that time, so of course I need to do something creative!) I asked his wife if there is something he likes and she mentioned a bag of M&Ms.
M&Ms I can do . . . but not in a boring bag!
I bought a glass jar and then decorated with some retired ribbon and a stamp from the You’re So Sweet stamp set (page 16 of the new catalog). Cute and simple! It took me more time to sort the colors of M&Ms with a spoon than it did to decorate the jar!
This would be so cute if you need a hostess gift for your 4th of July celebrations or even a decoration/snack to set out if you are hosting at your own home! (By the way, it took almost 2 full bags to fill this jar! Good thing I grabbed that second bag!)
Thank you for coming by to visit today. I enjoyed my vacation, and now I’m ready to get stamping!

I am sure you enjoyed vacation time with your family. Thank you for sharing “You’re So Sweet, Enjoy a Treat!”, which made a wonderful gift for the man who takes care of things while you are away, a big thank you from everyone here. I love the way you decorated the jar and separated the colors of candy. Have a great day.

That’s so cute! What a great idea! I might have to do this for my brother since he has a yearly July 4th party! Maybe I’d better buy 3 bags of M&Ms so I can sample while I’m sorting 😉

I like you’re thinking! 🙂
