Hello everyone I am really pleased to be able to show you something I made today, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do any crafting today due to my injured thumb but I surprised myself and it helped get my mind off the nasty pain. So here is an item I re purposed or up cycled. I saved this Applesauce jar a while back and thought I could fill it with dog treats for one of the dogs, Ginger, I walk for Christmas. I had some Burlap I bought a while back last time we took a trip to Joanns and I decided to use that to wrap around my jar, I hot glued that in place. I used my Cricut (Artiste) to cut out the label. I printed the greeting in Publisher on green and then used Create a Critter to cut out the cute dog in 2 layers. I used Joys of the Season to cut out the little Santa hat. I hot glued these onto the side and cut a 2.25 inch circle from a scrap of striped paper for the top. Inside are some dog treats but I need to buy a few more. Trader Joe's have some dog treats shaped like Gingerbread men usually at Christmas and I know Miss Ginger loves these, so I must add these to my shopping list.
fabulous job honey! miss Gingy will love it!! love hubby xooxox
