It is par for the course for me to need to get something done last minute, or have very little time to make some of the things. Tonight was no exception - I needed favors for a party tommorrow for between 4 and 30 kids...of mixed ages. After some thought, I whipped out the M&M's I keep for just these kind of snafus and set to work making a template. I came up with the idea of making a candy holder Valentine shaped like a tag. I colored in several dozen of Bugaboo Stamps Valentine Basket -Bears, and quickly worked out a simple layout. I think they turned out rather well. Now I just hope there won't be any surprises as far as how many children will be in attendance! If there are any leftovers we will be drop them off at a local nursing home for residents to enjoy too. Sounds win-win to me -so long as there aren't more than 4 dozen kids!
Incidentally...these have also been entered into the following challenges:
