I wanted to do a quick post to tell any blog visitors Happy Thanksgiving!! Most of us will not be blogging today but sometimes there are a few out there that for one reason or another, are doing just the norm today. Hope your day is amazing anyway!!!
We are headed to a dear friends house today for the Turkey day. I wanted to take something to the hostess for her hospitality on this busy day. It's the proper thing to do to take a small gift to the hostess when they invite you into their home. Somewhere along the way, I think we all have forgotten that.
Well, of course I used it for an excuse to craft a little, anyway.
My friend has asked for a Hot Chocolate recipe I received from another friend for sometime.
I couldn't seem to locate it and had to dig a little deeper to find it. (I need to spend some time organizing my recipes).
So for the long wait I put her thru, I decided once I found it to make the recipe for her and put it in a jar with mini marshmallows and present it to her for her hostess gift. (Hopefully, she is not blog hopping today, or she will see it before I get there. lol!)
So here's what I did:
Purchased the jar, ingredients, ribbon, measuring cup.
Then went to House of 3, and picked up this adorable little lady, sized her, changed the color to red and printed her on plain white cardstock.
Cut a tag with my Coluzzle cutter with her front & center.
Inked the edges with Tim Holtz distressing ink,
covered her with Diamond Glaze to give her a sheen,
placed 2 stones on for some bling,
Cut red cardstock the same size as the tag and covered the back,
typed up the recipe on white cardstock and placed on the back side.
Put it all together and here is the result....

Close-up of the tag. You can see the sheen on her hat, it is also on her dress.
A side view.
So there you have it a quick hostess gift for my dear friend.
Hope she likes it.
