Packaging Counts!

Totally off subject but I wanted to share a good find.  I found this pack of 70 ornaments at Home Depot for $9.98.

Perfect for your ornament wreath.  They also had packs of red, green and silver.  Good deal!  Since we are off topic I might as well remind you to enter in this weeks giveaway (over on the sidebar).  Monday is the last day.  Also come join me on facebook.  I have some fun plans in mind and giveaways that will only happen there.  You can find me HERE!

Ok!  Back on topic now.  I think many of you would enjoy crafting with me.  I do really stupid stuff that would make you feel good about yourself.  It makes me laugh.  I won't share my "stupid moment" today but just know they are there in every creation :)

A while ago I posted a wood cookie tutorial for the cookie/ornament exchange I help host.  We can't forget about the packaging!

You open your little box and get this....

I wrote the invite like a wedding invitation because we have been doing this thing for 5 years now.  It's kind of like an anniversary of sorts!  The cookie is a magnet so you can tempt your family with goodness.   I made the little box myself and since you guys are being so good to me... here is the pattern.  Cut on the dotted lines.  I used a glue gun to keep my little box together.

We play a little ornament gift exchange game at our cookie exchange party.  You can find it HERE.  Anyone have any gift exchange games/ideas they want to share?
