gift basket

Hi Ya'll

I know it has been a while since I last posted. I have been so busy. Had some family come into town, went to the beach and had a great time.Oh course, was dehydrated afterwards for the next two days. The kids had a great time also, we flew kites and had

lots of good food. It's so nice to step out of the norm and do something different. Celebrated my husband's birthday, and afterward memorial day. I hope everyone had a good holiday.

What I wanted to show you today is a gift basket I did for

my cousin sister's coworker's daughter. The daughter is a teacher and the mother wanted me to do something for a teacher.

So I decided to get this cute box from Michaels'. Then I decided to stuff with some teacher's item, notebook, pens, pencils, markers. Then I wanted to do something more personnal. I made these cute soaps. Her favoite colors are yellow and blue, so I decided to make yellow and blue soaps. I used my clear teacher's stamp . Made soap with a bookworm on it. I love it. Then I wanted to put her name on it also. The two blue were had yellow flowers. Then to give the box a sweet touch, I put chocolate pretzels with it.I hope she liked it.

Mother's Day

Let me tell you about three important woman in my life.

My mom, and my 2 aunts.
My mom is an amazing woman, she is an inspiration to me. Since I was a little girl, I always looked up to my mom, she was a hard working Registered Nurse. She supported my brothers and I when my dad was having a rough time with work, in the mid 80's. No matter what, she worked hard and cooked for us. Somehow she made sure we were doing well in school. In this day and time we need a lot of help, to do things. She always made sure we can do what ever we put our minds to.
My Aunt Mariamma is also a wonderful woman, when I was little and my parents were both working, she came from India and stayed with us for a while before her marriage. She help raise me up. Now she has 2 great kids, who are just like my brother and sister. Her daughter also helps me with my fun crafty projects. My aunt has such a great heart and is a loving person.

My aunt Sally is also a wonderful aunt. When my brother was about a year and I was about 4 years my grandparents decided to watch us in India for a couple of month during summer before school. My aunt was just a teenager and help take care of us then. Now she help me take care of my kids, when I need her. She is also an amazing cook. Her daughter is also like a sister more then a cousin to me. Her daughter love to Spoil my kids.. Her daughter and I love to doing stamping and also helps me with all my crazy crafty projects.

I wanted to something special for my mom and aunts, so I made fruit baskets, used the cookie cutter for some of the fruits and made something healthy and light, which they loved.

We made 5 of them , we bought the cute pots at Target. The flower molds are from Michaels, and Joanns. We wanted to use different colors to make it look bright and colorful. We filled to pot with peanut and regular M&M's, What fun!!!, So so yummy.
