A Last Minute Easter Treat! and a Shout Out too!

So as always I am running behind schedule.  Not because I am so busy mind you.  It's more because I can't pull myself away from the internet and all the crafty goodness it has to offer.  So while browsing the crafty websites I stumble across the frugal crafters blog
Here is her link:

and she has a posting about this you tube video for making homemade bakery string. Here is the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvg6pr6gNQs&feature=player_embedded
OK, PEOPLE PLEASE!!
Who would not stop what they were doing to start making homemade bakery string.  Well, OK, so I am one of the few that would.  It's all good though because I like me, I really really like me.  I am over 50. I can pretty much do what I want as long as it's legal. All I really have to do is show up for work and write to the IRS once a year.  I just love this string.  It was kinda like a "should of had a V-8" moment.  And I am not stopping there! No Way, I am going to start dying all kinds of stuff, like seam binding in all my fave Stampin up colors. and ribbon roses too.  I think I will even start buying only white ribbon so I can marker it up in my all time fave Stampin up color - baja breeze. YEAH .... I like it!!! Alrighty then with that said let me move on to the bakery boxes.  I love bakery boxes, I (apparently by my pant size) also love what is inside of the bakery box. So I set my mind to make a box for the crafty good bakery string.  I already had my mini cake box that I have so often used for Rocher candy at the Christmas holiday so a quick rework for size and I was good to go.  The paper is index cardstock from Staples but I took the bunny from Stampin Up's So Sweet stamp set and made it a digi stamp.  Once I printed the paper all that was left to do was to cut them (using SCAL and a cricut), fold them, fill them(yum ...Dove chocolate) and tie them.  So did you know there is a right way to tie a bakery box.  Yep! There sure is and wouldn't you know I have that you tube link too! and here it is:

SORRY CRUMB BOSS HAS REMOVED THIS VIDEO!!! IF SHE PUTS IT BACK I WILL REPOST
 THE LINK!

This little project made my day off from work a blast.  I just want to thank the frugal crafter, ukmaryanne and the Crumb Boss for their input to my little bakery box.  Without them I would not be nearly as excited to be bringing the boxes to the family on Easter. 

Happy Easter Everyone, Thanks for visiting,
Lysa
