After sharing my “Look what I do with MY TIME” post I have gotten tons of requests for what I eat during the day, and what I do for exercise! LOL! Also HOW (when I do cook LOL!) can I make dinner in just a half hour. Ill share all that with you all sometime this week. You crack me up. I truly have no big secrets. Like I said, I look back on the day and often wonder how it all actually fits in. Many wanted to know how often I follow that schedule. Honestly-if we don’t have a doctors appointments at Dartmouth or something like that I follow it Mon-Fri. The weekends are total family days and I don’t stamp during them. Usually ever! We try to do stuff with the kids and keep things relaxed. The kids are so use to our “routine” that it often just flows. They enjoy and thrive on knowing what is expected and what comes next. Don’t get me wrong, getting them to clean up can be a chore, and they do find time to fight during craft time. My life is truly normal. Just with a list of to do’s and a schedule! LOL! A lot of you also want to know HOW I find crafts and stuff for my kids as well, I hope to answer all those questions in one post soon. It’s sure to make the life of a SAHM easier! LOL!
OK now for another fast project. I have had lot’s of little events pop up that I wanted to send a little goody along for, and this is another.
OK this was yet another quick gift idea. I have been purchasing the candy in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. I am always about helping a cause!! I think its especially great when you can purchase something you like, or would normally, and get to make a difference at the same time.
There is another way YOU can help raise money for Cancer-CHECK IT OUT! I know as a mom to a daughter who went through 2 1/2 years of chemo that these would have been a God Send in the hospital! But I like the other, everyday uses too. Especially to maximize use of those UBER cute short sleeve shirts, through the cold winter here in New England.
October being Breast Cancer Awareness month I made this box of Hershey Kisses for a person I know currently battling Breast Cancer. Just a little-thinking of you.
I used the Harmony Classic Oval II for this creation. Its stamped on shimmery white cardstock, with a shimmery ink ink from Bazzill. When I saw the “Believe” sentiment my mind went right to this image for ANY gift item for ANYONE going through a tough time. It is actually the reason I got that set! I thought by punching two slits, one above, and one below the sentiment, and stringing through my ribbon it would be a nice, simple touch. I wanted the focus to be that sentiment. Just change the color ink, and the ribbon to suit the cause you are creating for.
I just took the clear card boxes and created a cardstock topper. I wrapped the top, rounded the corners, punched a handle using my large oval punch from SU!, and was done!
Maybe this will inspire you to make some quick gifts that fit into card boxes too.
OK Im back on the run. There are a LOT of releases coming up next week so I better get my butt in gear!
Thanks for checking in 😀

Oh Lauren,
Love this. So many people in my life touched by various versions of cancer. Plus, with Christmas coming up quickly, and “Believe” being the key ingredient to Santa Claus ;o) I can totally see switching up the colors and doing this in reds and greens! Thank you so much for sharing this idea!!
Too cute! I have several JustRite sets…may have to break down and get some ovals. 🙂
What a great project! I have a friend who’s going through chemo right now, so this would be a perfect ‘thinking of you’ gift for her.
I love how you did the bow! ♥
Okay, kiddo – I’m off. It’s *my* ‘mytime’ now 😉
Hugs!!
Love our creation! I was thinking, i must get that believe stamp! It’s so cute. Then i realized… i have it. OY! Time to clean out the craft room!
This is so pretty.
Im still trying to get your Free stocking before ordering the other templates but it wont ..what the heck am I doing wrong ??LOL
thanks
Diana
This is gorgeous Lauren! What a great project!
Love this project!
Thanks for sharing. Where did you find the Bazzill ink? I did a search on it- and nothing came up?
Kindly,

This box is beautiful Lauren. I agree with you in supporting the cause and what better way than to purchase some thing brings a smile to our face. I lost my MIL 15 years ago this month to breast cancer. I also have many friends who are breast cancer survivors. I want to believe that in our life time we will see a cure for this terrible disease and it will be through the help and support OF woman FOR woman. TFS.

This is great. I truly believe that there is not one single person out there who hasn’t had some kind of connection to cancer of any kind. I actually know quite a few who have battled cancer and an aunt who wasn’t able to win that battle. I love breat cancer awareness month and pray that with all they do for it that some day we can find a cure. TFS!!!
this is just gorgeous! … and sounds so easy.
This is wonderful, TFS! You always inspire me, thank you!!
Awesome, just awesome!
Love the box and I also support the cause. Have several friends that have had breast cancer. How did you make the topper? Would love to do some of these for friends. Thanks
Great Idea! Thanks for the idea….and inspiration.
What a gorgeous treat box! Love the clear container to see the goodies inside! 🙂
Lauren, I have to come back to comment because I can’t get this project out of my head. In addition to loving the handle on the box, I am just adoring the way you attached the Pink Ribbon — it is always so clumsy to do so, and you retain the shape that is so ingrained in our head, but attach it in such an elegant way! I am a SU! demo, and folks often ask about that horizontal slot punch and how to use it — this is another fabulous way — Thanks so much for it!
