OMG, is it seriously only 2 days until Christmas?!?!?  Where the heck did this month go? 

Anyone who knows me at all knows that I adore my Cheekies, and I find any way possible to use them.  Cheekies have graced cookies, cakes, cards, scrapbook pages, and they have even made it to gift wrap, and wreaths!!! I’m constantly trying to think of new ways to use my favorite girls! 

With Christmas just a few days away, I sat in my kitchen today wondering what I could do for my last project as GD for TGF.  I wanted to do something fun, something innovative, something that I haven’t seen in the gallery yet.  Then I got to pondering…I think I may need a drink…  Ok, so then it hit me!!!

I just had to make these totally Cheekie Cocktail Glasses!

I etched my beloved Cheekies into martini glasses, because after a long day of being in the kitchen baking up a storm for all of the last minute guests who keep popping into our house, I’m going to need a Cheekie Cocktail, or two! ha ha ha 

 

Really though, I’m not much of a drinker, but hey, you’ll probably find me drinking water out of these, just because they are sooooooo stinking cute!

I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, or whatever winter holiday you celebrate.  I’m sad that this is my last post for my guest spot on TGF, but add my blog to your list as I’m not going anywhere!  I’ll be participating in all the super duper fun challenges (because believe it or not, my set of Cheekies is NOT complete) and contributing in any way I can!  I Love the Farm and I’m so grateful for my time here, to Jess and Marie I want to send you huge virtual hugs and oh so much gratitude!  Thanks girls for such a great company, adorable stamps, and the opportunity to showcase just a few things that I can do with your images.  To all of the friends of the Farm out there, Don’t feel limited to ink and paper, I think I’ve shown you that there is WAY more you can do, and I haven’t even scratched the surface! Get to crafting friends!  I can’t wait to see what the New Year brings!

Cheekie cocktails.

I know that everyone expects me to bake…  But sometimes, I just want to do something that is, well… not baked. ha ha ha  So, being as I’m completely addicted to Pinterest, and I found an idea for a candy wreath on there,  here’s what I decided to do:candy wreath

You can soooooo do this too!! start with a foam wreath from the craft store (seriously like $3), then add mints with hot glue (I used 3 bags, so about 4 lbs. of mints, at $1 per bag) and then a ribbon.  Here’s a close up of our little angelic friend:

I do hope that your Christmas is the sweetest ever!  Make one of these little wreaths and give to a friend, and they will have a sweet Christmas too! 

 

Enjoy!!
