gift box, nugget covers, teabag covers gift set previewI have been working on some Christmas food-oriented gift sets and just now have them ready to give you a peek at them.  These boxes are really, really unique and fun.  They are a self-closing bow top with a curved very unusual rounded top of the box.  I can’t really describe it in words so I’ll show you with a picture!

The largest box is 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" x 5 3/4" and the smaller box is the same width and dept but is about 4 1/2" high.  These boxes look complicated, but are pretty easy once you figure out the folds.  I will have photo instructions of each stage of folding them to make it really easy.

I have a couple more similar sets that will follow including a Gingerbread Cottage Christmas set, so stay tuned!The final picture is a close up of two of the large box sides so you can see a little more of the art in these products.  If any of you do food gifts or food crafts, would you please leave me a comment with any special requests, things that you do a lot of etc.?  It would be very helpful for me :-)

Please be praying for the California Wildfires.  I lived through the Cedar fire in 2003 which came 1200 ft from our home in Valley Center.  The fires that are happening right now in San Diego are much, much worse (4,000 homes were destroyed in So. Cal in the 2003 fires).  There are 8-10 separate fires being driven by 70 mph winds and over 250,000 people have been ordered to evacuate their homes.  More than 100,000 acres have burned already and the winds aren’t scheduled to subside until 3 PM tomorrow.

Please pray for a break in the weather, strength and protection for the firefighters and residents in our State.

First ~ I pray no one is injured by the fires & the winds die down.

Second ~ When do you sleep? I can’t keep up with all your lovely kits! Why don’t you just send the kits to me as you make them, & bill me? LOL (You’re so cute, Lambie! I do sleep, occasionally…. actually I was sick over the weekend and I “rested” at my computer (she blushes profusely:-) ) Thanks for the encouragement! AJ)

Sending prayers for all of those close to the fires, including the ones who are helping to extinguish them. The new kit is adorable!

Love your new boxes. Can’t wait to see more of them.

I’m praying for all the people in California to be safe from the fires. Please tell Steve to be careful if he gets called up and that we love him. (will do Deb, he’s likely heading out late tonight and will be driving most of the night to get there. Thanks for your thoughtfulness :-) AJ)

places and I generally put the little candy to them So this set is just perfect for what I would use it for and I will be looking forward to the other sets you will be making

Audrey you asked for special requests. I would love to have a snowman that has beautiful eyelashes, long curly ones and cut eys, Not the black eyes. Just a face of him so I can use him on magnets.
Is your tea pot very old? I just love it there is just some characteristic about it and the tea cup is nice too. (No my tea pot and cup are made by a lady who does craft shows here in California, she’s old world eastern bloc and has some wonderful things that are so different. I have four or five of them (it’s one of my addictions!) AJ)


Lora Gary on 28 October, 2007 at 10:45 am #

Oh, and a cute smile no rocks for a face and a hat, oh I wish I could draw and paint.
