For the kids' classes I made M&M matchbooks. Honestly I think the teachers and I probably like them way better than the kids, for them it is just about what is inside, not the package, but I still enjoy doing it and the teachers really enjoy them so it makes it worth the time!

On the seventh day of Christmas to my true friend I gave..... A post it note book. These are so adorable. My good friend Leslie was kind enough to teach us how to make these and then I went to the dollar section in Target and got adorable Christmas post it notes. I also made some of these for the kids' teachers for their Christmas basket. Again a great co-worker gift!

On the sixth day of Christmas to my true friend I gave..... a covered candybar. I got this idea from Michelle Chikos, this is what she gave out at her last retreat Thank you Michelle!!

On the fifth day of Christmas to my true friend I gave.... A triangle box filled with nuggets!!!!! I found the template for these triangle boxes on splitcoast and again, they were very simple, but turned out really cute and are great for a stocking stuffer or a gift for a co-worker.

We had a little mishap with the 12 days of Christmas last night and today. When I got home last night I found that my chocolate lab got into my kids' 12 days of Christmas presents, eating everything that he could and shredding the wrapping and packages on the rest. Then this morning, while taking the kids to school he got into the box that had ALL of my sister-in-laws 12 days bags and ate it all. After talking to my friend Kelly (who is a vet tech) and him spending the day at the vet's office, and receiving a very expensive bag of coal from the vet, not Santa he is doing fine, but still hiding as he knows he is in trouble!!!!!!!!!

On the fourth day of Christmas to my true friend I gave...... A cute little bag filled with Chritmas M&Ms. I got this idea from a friend Michelle with Close To My Heart and then just took it a step further and cut out an oval on the front and put transparenency there so you could see what was inside.

On the third day of Christmas to my true friend I gave.... note card boxes!!!! I made the boxes from paper and then put 3 inch note cards in side. the boxes didn't stay together as well as I had wanted, but you can use the cards and then it won't really matter if the box stays together or not!!!!!!!

On the 2nd day of Christmas to my true friend I gave..... A bucket filled with chex mix to remind you that Santa "chex" his list twice!!!!! These buckets are the cutest thing ever! Tessa found them at the dollar store on Haines, told Cathy and I about them and I went and bought the rest that they had (37) the lady working thought I was crazy, but O'well!!!!!
