Mr. Snowman...Treat Box

Happy Monday everyone. This will be a real quickie, so that I can share this next project with you. Before I do, I just want to say thanks to all of you who were so sweet with your comments on "Rudolph". The girls loved it (and so did the boys. There were a few Boys Scouts at our event last night. Brothers of some of the girls in our troop). I tell you...I'm beginning to feel (and act) as though I'm living my childhood through my girls, of being a Girls Scout. I recall as a youngster, being in Girls Scout but it was really brief. I didn't go as far as my girls. But, like they say...once a Girls Scout, always a Girls Scout. Just like homeschooling, Girls Scouting is another "Family" thing, in our home. My DH is the pricipal of our homeschool, he is also a registered Girls Scout, right along with us. How cool is that, my girls thought. Next year our smallest one becomes a Girls Scout as well. We are all looking forward to that. She is so encouraged by her two big sisters and awaiting to follow along in their footsteps. It is sooooooooo fun. Okay, okay...on with the project we created for our middle daughter and her Girls Scout troop.

Meet Mr Snowman...I got this idea from Teri's beautiful Mr. Snowman, oh how I love snowmen...

Although I loved how she embellished hers, I had to take mine to a different level. You see, the recipients of these will be from ages 4-7, so....we all kinda know what will happen to Mr. Snowman, once the goodies are eaten up...yep...not that he'll melt away but...he will most likely be thrown away (eventually). So that is why I decided to try and keep it basic and yet cute. I so much wanted to emboss his hat, add some stickles, dew drops and maybe even a ribbon, but...those ideas slowly went to rest once I remembered the age level that'll be receiving these.

Just as Rudolph, Mr Snowman and everything about him was created by my Cricut. "Accent Essentials", "Plantin SchoolBook" and "Tags, Bags, Boxes & More" were all the cartridges used.

The little treats my daughter wanted to fill Mr. Snowman with, were treats we found at Paper Pleasing Ideas. These treats are great with Hot Chocolate however, based on experience, children will not wait for the Hot Chocolate, at least not in our home (lol). We made samples to test for ourselves and it was fairly simple and real yummy. Although the recipe calls for toothpicks (for dipping), I would not recommend that for 4 year olds. Just a safety precaution.

Because we wanted to display the treat within, we decided to create a "window" box. The treats can now be viewed from the back side.

Oops...I truly intended to keep it quick and short. Thanks for your patience and most of all, thanks for stopping in and being such a blessing. Hope you enjoyed your visit God Bless~
