Hello (again) Crafty Friends and Simply Betty Fans!

 

Today we are sharing with you the goodies that we received from our Secret Santas.

 

You should have come from Marie's blog.  If not, you'll want to start here at the begining.

 

Here is what my Secret Santa, Aeryn, sent me:

 

Some crafty goodies for Halloween and Christmas.

The beautiful card that she sent :)  Her coloring is beautiful!  I think I need to get some of the special paper for coloring.  Maybe then mine will look like that :)

 

 I can't wait until I have some extra free time to play with my new goodies! Thanks Aeryn!

Twine Snowflake Bow

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today is my day to share over at the Timeless Twine blog, and I made a cute little package topper.

I crocheted the snowflake using red craft floss for the center and Timeless Twine Firecracker for the outside, and to wrap the box.

I've been crocheting quite a bit this year (mostly hats) and I love that I can mix my hobbies :)

 

The button and sentiment are from the Paper Made Bakery November kit that we featured last week.

The kraft box can be found in the BellaCreationz shop, here.

The crocheted snowflake is a pattern by Everlaughter.

Timeless Twine Nov Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends!

 

Welcome to another Timeless Twine Challenge.

 

This month's challenge is "Wrap It Up", and is all about packaging, using twine of course.

 

Here is what I made:

 

 

 

I used the cute little bags that can be found in the BellaCreationz shop, and some various candies.

 

These would be great for birthday parties, class parties, or any small gift to give to anyone, for any reason.

 

The bag toppers are ovals folder in half, stamped witha sentiment, hole punched, and tied with Timeless Twine.

 

The sentiments are from Pink By Design's sets, "Sweet Grams" and "Sweet Grams 2".  There are plenty of sentiments for just about any type of candy, and for just about any occassion.

 

Head on over to the Timeless Twine blog for all the challenge details and to link up your project.

 

Thanks fo stopping by!
