Linen Treat Bags

Pick Your Plum is a super fun site for craft supplies, fabrics, metal, hair goodies, accessories...you name it!  They have a daily e-mail to let you know what the item of the day is.  The prices are amazingly low,  the quality is excellent, and the customer service is absolutely pleasurable. Check it out.

My recent purchase was some linen and burlap bags.  These are going to make great little party favors, they can hold a little gift, a Starbucks card will fit perfectly, and I'm still making up reasons to fill these little guys up.  I used rubber stamps and ink to decorate the bags and filled them with some yummy chocolate caramels.

Father's Day Candy-Kabobs

Happy Father's Day!  Here's a fun party favor for the Father's Day table.  Thread some of your favorite gummy candies on wooden skewers, wrap in cellophane and tie it all up with a bow.  Here's the tip:  wipe the wooden skewer with a damp paper towel each time you thread a candy.  They'll slide right on.  I stuck some mini Reeses peanut butter cups on too, because I can't imagine not having a little chocolate on these treats.   Enjoy!
