Crazy for Candy?!...

My kids are!  Do you ever find that the LAST day of school before Christmas break that everyone just kind of lets loose and the kids come home from their Christmas class parties on a MAJOR sugar high?!?  LOL!  Oh man, we had some wee ones FLYING HIGH this afternoon!   Unfortunately, my oldest DD, along with Dad AND Mom were all sick in bed for most of the day yesterday, but the boys came home with QUITE the loot-it was almost as bad as Halloween!

On that note, how funny that this week's CRAZY 4 CHALLENGES challenge is to create a TREAT HOLDER of some kind?!  Perfect timing! 

I am especially excited about this project because I was able to recycle some old containers for it.   I used an old PRIMA FLOWER tube and it became the base of my project.   I colored up this SUPER SWEET VIVI ELF from The Greeting Farm and cut her out as the main image, also using MERRY TAGS to create this super fun gift tag that I embellished with ribbon on the top of the tube.

After filling up the tube with some M&M's, I added some cotton balls to make it look as if Sweet Vivi is walking upon the snow!  What do you guys think?  I think I've altered more items this year than ever before and it feels good to get out of my comfort zone!
