We went to a very small gathering on Christmas Eve and I needed to bring my usual Christmas Eve fare: Puppy Chow. In case you don't know what it is it's Crispix cereal coated with melted chocolate and peanut butter and covered with powdered sugar.
The plastic Christmas bowl I usually use was so scratched up I decided it was time to say goodbye and find something else to use.
I decided to decorate the carrier with some Christmas ribbon I bought at a garage sale over the summer so I got out my trusty hot glue gun. On a side note: I have never used my glue gun without burning at least one finger! This time was no exception!
Anyway, I glued ribbon around the base, tied a bow and glued it on the front.
I'll leave you with this picture.
We're doing our Christmas with them on Monday this year. I always delay it a few days so the kids are not overwhelmed with presents all in one day!
Until the next time stay safe and well my friends.

ReplyDeleteVery crafty you were! I haven't used a glue gun in years but the same thing; I would always get burnt.
ReplyDeleteAdorable picture of your grands. That is good to break up the excitement over a couple of days with the presents.
betty
I love to repurpose things like that! Enjoy the grands!
ReplyDeletebig big grin...I love what you did and I also love your last photo of the grandkids. smiles---have a beautiful day, friend.
ReplyDeletePuppy chow---ruff, ruff, ruff. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated the sweet bowl....which was just lovely to begin with as well.
Those boys, that's what Christmas joy looks like.
That dish looks so pretty and festive. The puppy chow looks pretty yummy too. I haven't had any of that in years. I'm the same way with my glue gun. Always burn at least one finger
ReplyDeleteMe too! And my burns are nasty...hurt for days afterwards.
ReplyDeleteLove your crafty handi-work!! I'm impressed. Puppy chow? Gotta love your version! And that last photo....priceless!
The boys are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe dish was very Christmasy, I try to avoid hot glue guns.
I've always wanted to try Puppy Chow but haven't got around to it yet.
Your puppy chow is one of very many things I miss about being "home". If life were easy and not so fast, I wouldn't think about the past. Love you. Miss you. See you soon. Here's to a better 2021!
ReplyDeleteAwww look at those cutie pie brothers. This picture makes my heart smile!
ReplyDeleteI hope y'all had a really good day with them. :)
Beautiful bowl and the container looks gorgeous!
Happy New Year to y'all.
