I was trying to think of something I could do a quick demo on to give my hostess when I did an in home workshop last weekend.  The idea was to show how you could make a quick gift with Stampin' Up products.  So I had a bunch of these small glass jars that you can get at Ikea or Hobby Lobby and thought I will put Hershey Kisses in the jar(for now) and fancy up the jar with ribbon and a design on the lid.  After I made it, I changed my mind(of course) and made another item which used a larger number of our products.  But I digress...  This is a quick and easy item to make and fill with whatever the person you are giving this to likes the best.  Personally, I think chocolate is a safe thing to fill a jar with because ALL my friends LOVE chocolate!  You could also fill the jar with homemade candies or mixes.  The supplies that I used for this project were:
STAMP SET:  Berry Christmas
PAPER:  Real Red. Old Olive, Whisper White
INK:  Real Red, Yoyo Yellow
ACCESSORIES:  Glue Dots, 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon(Old Olive), Scallop Cicle Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch
The last few days, I just wanted to show you quick and easy items to help your gift giving easier.  Well I am off now to paint.  I am in the process of painting all my trim in my family room.  Then I will edge in the wall paint.  My husband does the painting with a roller but I have a steadier hand to do the more detailed work so I prefer to do that.  Hopefully we can get this project done by Thanksgiving.  Go out and enjoy your day because I know I will be stuck in the house, painting today!
