Snowflakes, Kisses, and Peace

I warned you that you'd see more snowflakes from me this week! I am so addicted to snowflakes these days!

 
Here's a quick and easy gift item for friends or co-workers. I picked up this fun square jar for a buck at Michael's last time I was in town. It's not the smallest size they had, but both sizes were the same price, and this one seemed a bit more generous as a gift. More room for more chocolates!

I also picked up a few bags of the oh-so-deelish Hot Cocoa flavored Hershey's Kisses. Mmmm! I filled the jar with kisses, tossed in some faux-snow, and wrapped the outside with Cosmo Cricket paper and crystal snowflake goodness!

 
I chose the "let there be peace" sentiment for this jar. The sentiment is from my Snowman for Peace set from Whipper Snapper.

'Tis the season...

Anna, Both of your projects are fantastic. The jar is wonderful but I am in total awe of the wood ornament. Especially love the designer button. :)

i just love all of your snowflake projects. they are so pretty. but this one tops them all. The use of something besides blue, or white for the snowflake was brilliant.
Love it~!!

Ok, I am now officially stating that I need an enabler alert when your posts come through! I LOVE your snowflakes and have been watching them for awhile now. I also got some rusty tin products ordered last week NOW I wish I ordered the wire:)) I love the projects you have been making with the snowflakes lately. I love the antiqued country look of the colors and the theme. Just fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing.

So simple, but so adorable!!! I'm still loving the snowflakes. :)

Ok, enough already with the AMAZING snowflakes! There's not a snowflake or branch punch to be found! You're killin' me!

(off I go again in search of the Martha Stewart branch punch and some Marvy snowflake punches)

Seriously though, I love this little jar.

[Shannan Teubner]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

[Carla]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the added curly wire and bells. This is a lovely gift! I have been making lots of things with snowflakes, but not in the rich colors you are using. I've been on a white and silver kick, although your colors are what I normally work with.

[Tori Wild]

They make HOT COCOA flavored Kisses-- WHERE HAVE I BEEN??!! :) YUmmmm.... This is just a fantastic little jar-- Lovin the bell on there!

[Jennifer Meyer]

This is so beautiful Anna! I just LOVE the fun vintage design and gorgeous detail! Have a wonderful week!

Hugs & smiles,
Jennifer :)

[denise (peanutbee)]

Ooooohhh, I need to go to Michael's and look for these square jars. It'll be perfect for a project I need to do later this week. Hopefully I can find them. Love what you did with it! Oh...and I got some of the diamond dust too. Weee! You're a total enabler...and I'm glad you are! :)

[Darlene]

WOW, ok I am FINALLY off to try my hand at a snowflake. I have seen you post so many beautiful ones. Thanks for the inspiration!
