I had a lovely time making this cookie box with my new Just Rite stamps. I embossed white on Papertrey Dark Chocolate card stock. I just love the contrast of the white on the brown. So warm and crisp all at the same time. I had some more fun with felt and using a blanket stitch on it just gave the look of a homey gift! So I baked up some Peanut Butter Blossoms, Peanut Butter Cookies and some Chocolate Chip cookies. They fit nicely in the Papertrey Egg box for giving. Hint: To make that cool pattern on the peanut butter cookies, I used a large meat tenderizer, not a fork! I plan to take this to my friend’s house this week. I am off to see Sophie carol today with her class. I spent the weekend between New York City and church! So busy, just like everyone else. This may be my last post of the week, due to some more preparations I have to make for our Christmas, but I may be able to squeeze one more post in. Emma’s class is doing a new PJ drive for kids who will not have Pajama’s for this winter. You may have seen this on Oprah before. Well, her class is doing it and I am going to make up 30 card kits for them to work on during the class party tomorrow. I have to get a move on! So much to do!! Have a great day…if anyone is reading this who isn’t frantically buying presents right now!

I don’t know who is receiving that box of goodies, but they are soooooo lucky!!!! The packaging is just gorgeous!!!!
You are getting to be the blanket stitch queen! Love the box, and the meat tenderizer imprint is brilliant! OK, getting hungry now…..
Very neat look on those cookies!! Merry merry Christmas to you and yours Becky!
I haven’t done my best Wayne & Garth bow over here lately, but you sure earned it with this one! Just gorgeous!
I am right now having a cup of coffee and salivating looking at these luscious goodies!
I’m definitely leaning towards purchasing a Just Write Design but am sooooo in the dark about it. How easy is it to use?

You know what, I never make mashed potatoes anymore, I buy them already made from bob evans at the grocery store. MmmmGoood. I use my mashed potato masher to flatten my PB cookies.
You should get you blog readers to send in pajamas! I could get a pair after Christmas and send them to you. Tell me more. My kids would enjoy this idea.
Have a wonderful Christmas Becky! Those cookies look de-lish!
Your goodies always look yummy, inside and out! Thanks for the holiday inspiration!
Well if those PB cookies don’t just say “yum yum”! I bought my first Just Rite set a month ago and will amaze the world with it after the holidays. Isn’t everything “after the holidays” now?! Busyness is winding down, candlelight service is tonite – happiness! Merry Christmas Becky!
Gorgeous and yummy! LOVE the pattern you made with the meat tenderizer!!
Love the felt ribbon too!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
