Twizzlers Treat Holder

Happy Monday to you! I hope your weekend was a great one! Mine was full of fun and VERY productive! Can you believe that I am just about ready for my big demonstrator event on Saturday (with the help of my mom:) AND my downline event on Thursday AND my club on Monday? This NEVER happens! Maybe I'm learning it pays to be organized...then again, maybe not:) We'll see if it keeps up!

Today's project makes me laugh. Adam thinks it is RIDICULOUS! He really questions paper crafting sometimes.....here was our conversation (roughly):

Me: What do you think of these?
Adam: Cute? What's in there?
Me: Twizzlers.
Adam: Like 2 little Twizzler sticks that are worth about a nickel?
Me: Yup!
Adam: How long did it take to do "that"?
Me: To make a dozen took about an hour.....
Adam: So your 5 cent candy is now worth $1 and took an hour to make....hmmmm....just don't get it!

Anyone else have a spouse like this? Don't get me wrong, Adam likes Stampin' Up! and loves all it has provided for our family, but sometimes he just questions the practicality of it. But my response is always just think of how others feel when they get these amazing hand made gifts! Anyhow, I don't have a supply list for you today, but I do have a video. If you have any questions, let me know! If not, I'd love to hear your funny paper crafting stories:) Have a great day!!!

Take care,

Heather

These are adorable! And like the other ladies said- my husband says the same thing!!! I tell him its all about the presentation!

I have to agree with all the other comments. My husband says the exact same thing, except he points out that the kids don't care about the packaging, only what's in the package. Which has proven true, but the girls love it! I do it for myself and to sell at craft fairs. I can sell my little gifts for more when they're packaged pretty. Keep up the faith! We're behind you all the way!

Heather, I read your conversation to my husband who is working from home this afternoon. He smiled and said "it's not the inventory, it's the packaging"! :)

John always says "not bad" to EVERYthing I make...fabric & paper; it's the females that share Adams thoughts & therefore, I get NO support from them...only a giggle & a negative comment! I just smile, as I know it's all so worth it!

HAHAHA! I think we all know exactly where you're coming from Heather! My husband questions my stuff too! I do remind him though that even if the item only cost 5 cents or a dollar it becomes so much more when you give it to someone! And noooo dollar amount will ever change that! :o)
These are soooo CUTE! I really like them and I just might make some for my card swap gals.... they would just love these! :o)

Hey Heather!
These are sooo worth the time. I feel in love with stampin' because you can take a 5 cent item and turn it into a gift! You'd never hand them a 5 cent candy with out it being cute, right?!
But Chris doesn't get it either. I told him I didn't need him to get it. I just needed him to be supportive and so now he ALWAYS says, "it's the best thing you've ever made," and that's enough to keep me happy!
Miss you my super talented
friend!
