Hello Friends, I am editing this to add some news. I forgot to tell you that over at the Penny Black blog you will find weekly challenges here. I hope you have a chance to play along and prizes are involved too.
Have you ever had chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal? So delish. You can see the recipe hereon my new cooking blog that’s under construction. I am waiting for Kristinafrom
to add her creative touch to it. In the meantime you can find my recipe for the cookies.
Last week when my daughter was sick I purchased these crackers for her and loved the boxes. I thought these were perfect to fill with cookies to send for my son at college.
Once the cookies were safely tucked inside I could decorate the boxes for my son’s Birthday package. Hopefully he will wonder why I am sending him “crackers” and will be in for a surprise…lol
I used Prisma colored pencils because all of my copic and tombo markers are still packed. Whenever I travel I am sure to have a bag filled with something to color with.
I fringed the ends of the ribbon on this one. All of the stamps are from Penny Black and the paper is Basic Grey.
I hope to show you some of the new stamps soon! Hugs, Kathy

What very cute wrapping for a yummy treat!
Your wrapping looks cute. I’m curious about your sons reaction when he thinks he gets crackers and finds out it are cookies.
