Ciao Baby! Hostess club gifties

I know I have been away for a long time. I had a goal of blogging a minimum of two times a week. Well, as you all know it, LIFE HAPPENS!!

You might not know this, right now I struggle with two things: weight loss and fertility. We are actively trying for baby #2. We know we have a "fertility problem". In March we went to our baby doctor and she had suggested IVF. After a specific blood test that was sent to the USA for testing, it was found that my levels were low, so the Dr said that IVF would be a waste of our money right now. Not only that but to do that procedure I would need to lose about 20 pounds in a very short time. Anyways moving on to today, the Dr and Nursing team have decided that we should move on to try Insemination. So that's what we are going to do later this month. Please say a prayer and keep your fingers and toes crossed that it works!!

On to my share today. I CASED this treat holder from http://inspirationink.typepad.com/inspiration-ink/ciao-baby/ Michele Reynolds. I changed up the ribbon as I didn't have that color on hand.

I was able to use up some of the Delicate Details Lace Tape that I had cut up for another project, but found it didn't work for it. Inside the treat holders is one Hersey Nugget.

Thanks for lookin' and have a Stampin' Day!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit

I came across this cute little box made with the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit sometime last week. I thought that is super cute, and I HAVE to make that! It was on www.justspongeit.blogspot.ca (Cindee Wilkinson) blog, but as noted she found it on Stamping with Paula's blog. I have only made the one box, not the second treat holder as of yet, perhaps tomorrow when my bestie and new downline Jenn K comes over to do some crafting!

Yes I made four. Everything used was in the kit except the Calypso Coral Baker's Twine and the Calypso Coral card stock. I used four of the flowers on each box, and for a little hint of something something, I sprayed it with Vanilla Smooch Spritz. It definatly gave the flowers that little extra.
