Stampin' Up! Love & Happiness Candy Holder

Good morning, peeps. I don't know why I say morning because you might be reading this in the afternoon or evening...if at all...lol! I decided to treat the ladies in my Sunday School class. I wonder if they'll notice the kisses are Santa hats? Did you? Well, they ARE red after all. I bought them for Christmas treats and forgot all about them. Since I don't eat milk chocolate, I had to use them for Valentine treats! Waste not, want not, right? Well, let me show you the simplicity of my gift...

 

I truly hope I don't lose power this weekend as I have no generator and temps are low. At least in Florida I didn't have to worry about being cold if the power went down for a week. I've got plenty of blankets, candles and flashlights :-)

Thank you for stopping by today and stay safe during this major storm watch if you are in harms way.

Stampin' Up! Let Love Grow for the Monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

Welcome to the first hop of 2026 for the AIK monthly blog hop. Our theme for this month is "Love" and we can  use any product we wish.  The list of hoppers is at the end of my post. I hope you'll hop along. The products I used are all retired. Part of my goal for 2026 is to use the kits I have at least twice a month. Some of the kits are not even open!

This is from the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit - No Matter the Weather and it was brought back as a 2021 Card Kit.

 
 
 
Let's take a closer look...



 I also made the following two with the January 2018 and 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kits. These are for the church shutins.

Stampin' Up! Friends of a Feather Alternative Get Well Card

The products I used for my card today are all retired. Part of my goal for 2026 is to use, at least twice a month, the kits I have. Some of the kits are not even open! If you follow me, you will see the above statement again tomorrow!! Let's take a look see at the Paper Pumpkin kit I used today. I do have an unopened one if you are interested in purchasing it.

The kit is called Friends of a Feather and it was offered in October 2018. This went to an older bachelor man who was ill but I think it could be for a woman as well. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop.
