Back to School

This post is a little late, but I am a firm believer in "better late than never." This will be a short one, so I will get right to the point. My youngest daughter started kindergarten this fall and it has been an adjustment. Her teacher has been extremely helpful in keeping me informed in her progress and for that I am more than grateful.  In order to show her my appreciation I decided to make her a simple treat. During a retreat we hosted a few weeks back, one of the fellow retreaters named Stefani (and might I add an extremely talented crafter in her own right) had these awesome treat stamps that she allowed me to borrow. I used them to make this.......

They are from this great company called Jaded Blossom.  They have a huge selection of these treat stamps that are designed to be used on the bottom of chocolate kisses and peanut butter cups.  They specialize in treat favors of all kinds. They also have a ton of dies that coordinate with the stamps.  Don't forget to check them out! 

Until next time........
