Need something really quick to make for someone who is dropping by, or maybe for a class party? These "tiny treat baskets" are SO quick and easy and just perfect! Seriously, they are addictive to make! The tutorial over on Splitcoast makes it easy!The only problem I encountered is that York Peppermint patties now do not come wrapped in foils like they used to, they are wrapped in a more chocolate bar like wrapper, so they are not as cute. The Palmers ones are okay still though, although a little smaller . . .
The other fun discovery I made -- remember how I busted my "C" plate for my cuttlebug so long long ago . . . well I used the pieces of it and made do with that -- and then a couple weeks ago I cracked one of those (so now they are not useable) . . . well, I discovered that you can use the "A" plate, a cuttlebug embossing folder and then your die and paper between two "B" plates and it cuts and embosses the edge a bit. Just like my "C" plate did - WOOHOO! So now I am not so mega worried about having a "C" plate, I can wait till somewhere has them in stock, rather than pay $30 for it or something ordering it from New Zealand . . . *a Christmas Miracle*

Happy Wednesday! It was SO cold here this morning . . . well, at least by AZ standards. Hope you are keeping warm and toasty wherever you are! I am off to chase my little guy . . . I can't believe he will be 1 on FRIDAY! EEK! He is pushing the chair around the kitchen/eating area and walking with it . . . time flies!!!
