I found this great treat bucket at Target in the $1 bin. And...because it was part of the previous season...it was 50% off. Yup. Totally. Love it when that happens! I stuffed it with a bag of Christmas candy and tied that off with a fabulous May Arts mesh ribbon bow. I then stamped a tag (punched with a great Fiskars ornament punch I've had for years and years) from the brand new PSA Essentials Peel and Stick tag collection, colored it, and attached it! Nice and easy!
As for my Hanukkah card, I used a great Bazzill shimmer paper as the base to give it a little sparkle with ZERO work. Then I stamped the Star of David from the PSA Essentials Mixed Holiday Peel and Stick pack and fussy cut them. This sounds time consuming, but due to the straight lines, it's actually super quick! I stamped the sentiment on a little banner and...voila! Nice and easy! LOVE.THAT.

Also, I have a really great Christmas wreath going up over on the May Arts blog today! I've included the full tutorial so you can create this one, too. Be sure to stop by there to check it out! Here is a little sneak!
Oh...and for those wondering how court went yesterday... The guy didn't bother to show up, so that was certainly a point in our favor. We sat before the Magistrate and a detective and told them what had happened. The magistrate said he felt the charges should at the very least be bumped up from 'wanton destruction of property' to 'malicious destruction of property'. We don't know if there are other charges. It all seemed quite positive from our end, although, we won't hear anything for awhile. They did tell us that we WILL hear something, but due to the back logs and such, it will be a bit, so we are good with that. I'm just happy to have this piece done with. I never knew 20 minutes of sitting in a room describing an incident could be so VERY exhausting! LOL!
Jingle Out!
