Day 3…back to me…and a FREEBIE!

Day 3…

Today I left another little treat in my kids’ teachers’ mailboxes.  We (ahem, I) made some dipped pretzels.  If you’ve never dipped pretzel, I highly recommend it.  It’s quick, easy, inexpensive, and the kids can help.  This time I dipped them in chocolate, but most times we dip them in the candy melts you can find at the craft store.  I sprinkled the pretzel (while they were still wet) with some peppermint crunch I found in the baking section at the craft store.  They were dry and ready within the hour.  I put them in little bags and stapled on these cute treat topper.  Once again, Mari’s kit, Snow Much Fun, is just too cute.  It comes out tomorrow, so go and snag it in the morning at The Digi Chick!

Sorry this picture is not the best.  Thank goodness for camera phones…I almost forgot to take a picture at all!  I printed the treat topper, scored on the line and punched the edge with a scalloped edge punch.  I’m all about quick, simple, and easy.  Just a little something that shows you care but doesn’t break the bank.

You want one?  You got it!  I’ve made the treat topper into a pdf download.  All you need is Adobe Acrobat (it’s free and you probably already have it) to open the file and print.  You can download the FREEBIE here.

How about a little Blog Hop?

I’m teaming up my friend, Mari, to bring you a little holiday inspiration.  It’s the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Flip Flop! 

She has an awesome new kit coming out on Thursday called Snow Much Fun…and it truly is!  We will blog hop back and forth each day, for 12 days, bringing you great gift ideas that are quick, easy, and inexpensive.  Make sure you check every day!

I started this week off right for my kiddos’ teachers.  I went this morning and left this little treat in their teacher mailbox…

I used my Candy Bar Box and, of course, Mari’s kit.  Each one of those boxes holds a Hershey’s Chocolate Bar…I mean, how can you go wrong with good ol’ chocolate?  This little project took all of 20 minutes, but they look like I worked on them for hours!  A little birdie told me that they really liked them.  I don’t think you can ever have too much teacher appreciation!

Be sure to check out Mari’s blog tomorrow for another great project!  You never know when there might be a freebie… :)
