It seems like every year my Christmas list grows by leaps and bounds….not just the obligatory gifts (neighbors, mailman, garbageman and my personal fave: Mr. UPS!)…but each year between church, school and activities we add “new friends” …people we’ve grown close to that we want to say Happy Holidays to….to tell them how much they’ve meant to us this past year! This is especially true in my business….you can’t imagine how many women I have met through stamping and scrapbooking who have become almost like sisters to me! Now, obviously I can’t buy gifts for ALL these people…well, I could but MasterCard and Visa would catch up with me eventually! So, how do I show these people I care without breaking the bank? With a hand stamped gift of course! Here’s a super quick and easy gift that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face this Holiday season….simply wrap a jumbo chocolate bar in Designer Series Paper and decorate as desired. (Why yes…that’s more Spirelli! Do you think I’m addicted?)

Attach a tag with the following poem and you’re sure to get a grin from even the grumpiest Grinch! (Imagine this being sung to “Jingle Bells”)

Dashing from the malls
With groceries yet to buy,
Workshops, kids & housekeeping,
Life’s so crazy! Why?

Bells on our telephone ring,
The machine will take the call,
We have no time for family or friends,
It drives us up the wall.

How are you? How’s your life?
We really want to know.
Hope you’re ready for Christmas,
Now maybe it will snow.

A day or two ago,
We thought we’d make a treat,
For all our special friends–
A Christmas Gift to eat!

Our intentions were top notch,
But our schedules would not budge,
So, here’s this year’s version of homemade
CHRISTMAS FUDGE!

Give this alone or add a gift card for a movie rental or a DVD from the bargain bin and you’ll look like such a clever little elf (and you didn’t have to break the bank!)
