I made the$e!

I made these adorable treat boxes that are big enough mini loaves of bread.  

The boxes were purchased at Michael's and were available in red or green.  I used my rubber stamps and die cuts and punches to decorate.  These could hold the mini loaves of bread, a pair of socks or gift cards, etc.  Fancy Wrapping for pennies!  

Yarn $tash Prayer $hawl

I am about half way done with a prayer shawl (cast on of 80 stitches, garter stitch) created from my yarn stash of Lion Brand yarn. The rows are varying widths depending on how much of a particular color I have. I alternate a dark with a light (neutral) color for the best contract. Can't wait for you to see the finished project. It is great use of my leftover supplies which were not enough to complete any one individual project. Purchasing enough skeins of yarn to complete a regular shawl runs $18-20 when using Lion Brand skeins. This shawl is going to be beautiful (DD want to trade in her solid red one for it)and was created with love from a treasure trove of "leftovers"

It is attractive enough to sit out with the other cookbooks. The content is only notebook paper. I used an old notebook the kids had abandoned. Practically Free!
