Daizy-Mae's Crafty blog: cookies and stools

Good afternoon everyone, oooh I spy the sun in the sky today and it ISN'T raining either woo hoo ! Just a few more Xmas bits I made recently, hope you like them. I hope you are all ready for the big day now. I have most things done now except the food prep which I will do tomorrow, so pleased when that is all done and I can relax. 1st pic is of one of the bags I made to put some handmade truffles in, so easy to make, no cutting just folding. I used a Spiltcoast tutorial for them. 2nd pic is of more bags, I used Pink petticoat snowflake paper & a Spellbinders Fancy tags two label and stamped a sentiment.3rd pic are some truffles I bought. I made some myself ( and they are delicious) Grand Marnier ones and Rum ones, but they do have to be kept in the fridge or freezer. I will give them to my guests when they leave or let them try them just out of the fridge/freezer while they are here. I will put these ones here in the little bags.Forgot to add a white ribbon before I took the pic! 4th pic is side view of the bags with truffles in place.5th pic is my soaps I made all wrapped up, I added a white flannel, nailbrush & shower ball foldy thing ( sorry can't describe it any better ).They have a large white ribbon around them but of course I didn't take the pic showing that doh! 6th pic are some scrummy choc chip, pistachio & cranberry cookies I made as gifts too.I put some sea salt on top of them and they are to die for. I had to adapt the recipe I found as I added other stuff to them. I will wrap them tomorrow in cellophane and tie ribbon around too.Last pic are two beautiful little stools my OH handcrafted for our two young grandsons when they are a bit older.He made the legs part first, then added the string stuff weaving on top. The weaving took ages as he had to drag the string through each time ( long string) & it tangles almost every time. I think the babies will love their little stools. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas whatever you have planned !
