A few weeks ago I was having a bad day. I went to check on the mail and much to my delight I found the most wonderful surprise!
Some of you hard-core A Muse fans may remember Greta Smithson who was one of the original members of our Design Team. Greta is one of the most ingenious designers I've ever encountered and I was very sad when she resigned from our design team because her schedule had grown too busy.
Anyhoo... Greta sent me a fantastic box of Halloween treats for our Grand Opening. This truly wonderful act of kindness and generosity lifted my spirits for the rest of the day!
I'm so glad that I was able to take a picture of them because they lasted about a nano-second once I put them out for customers at our Grand Opening.
These treats are so cute and relatively simple to make. These up-close photos should give you crafty folks some ideas on how you could recreate them. Tucked inside is a Hershey's chocolate nugget.
Greta - thank you! thank you! thank you! for your wonderful box of treats!
These are so cute! I made those for Valentine's day, and for my son's high school graduation. They are so fun! Everyone loves them...your stamps are PERFECT for them, too! What a nice surprise you got!

You're welcome, Linda! Glad your customers liked them!

Linda (and Greta!), thanks for the inspiration... I made 21 one little treats based on this design idea for my girls' teachers. Mine are for kit kats, so they are a different shape, but you two were the source of inspiration. Thanks!!
