Grateful Tic Tac Holder

IMG_7023Sorry I missed a few days but my parents are in town and we’ve been visiting and running around.  It’s great to have them visit.  They haven’t been here since my son got married two years ago.  Of course we get to the Minnesota Homeland at least 2-3 times a year so it’s not like we haven’t seen them.  They had an uneventful flight.  They are a little nervous about how crowded the airport might be on Friday when they head back home but I assured them we can get them to the airport as early as they’d like.

My son and his wife arrived in town from California last night.  So we will have a lovely Thanksgiving tomorrow.  We host every year.  It starts with the neighbors who aren’t traveling and grows from there.  This year we’re up to about 28 people or so.  Should be fun!

IMG_7024This little treat holder is what I made for my friends that I went to Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event in Dallas with.  It’s a fun and easy treat holder for regular size Tic Tacs.  Oooo…that reminds me….we’re making a Christmas one in class next week and I still need to get the Tic Tacs!

The original idea I saw for this project used a miniature little Tic Tac box from the dollar store.  Since I didn’t want to run around looking for little ones I just designed my holder around a regular size box of Tic Tacs.  Stampin’ Up!’s wide striped ribbon is the perfect size!

These treat holders are so easy.  I’ll give you directions and dimensions when I post the Christmas one…probably next week.  If I forget to post again tomorrow have a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving!

Take care and Happy Stamping!
