Less Is More??


Remember that pen?  Well if one is good, wouldn't it be better to make 10?  Maybe.  But only if you didn't have a lazy susan, 5 pens of another type and a star wars house to make - all before Christmas!  And those are just the items for other people's Christmases!




My sister in law put me onto a website where you can download so many fun, cute templates.  I thought this box was adorable and gave it a try.  I kept it simple - didn't get to terribly fancy.  It was quick, easy and cute! 



It even has a couple of dormers in the back.  What a cute little box for Christmas treats, huh?  So I started baking as many yummy treats as I could.




If one was fun, wouldn't 15 more be just 15 times the fun?!  Silly me!  I gave up on the dormers on the back of the house.  The doors and windows were no longer raised to give it more dimension.  Just get them done already!  I have to say, the cookies and fudge turned out so yummy.  And it WAS fun to have something a little extra cute to go along with the sweets as Madi handed them to people.  But I've determined that more is not always better.  And we just can't squeeze in this many extra projects at Christmas time.




Tony just asked me if I could make some cute boxes for his pens.  That would be so fun!!  What day is it?!  :)
