What can I say but WOW….yesterday’s post was OUT OF THE BALLPARK and I thank you for giving Mary Ann the love that she sooooooo well deserved! Is that truck amazing or what! 🙂
I am still under the weather (and I never get a cold) and my poor nose….I feel like Rudolph but this will all past….and I am determined that today will be better! Enough about me….let’s look at this SUPER HOT 3-D that I made!
Now I must say…with this incredible work of ART that took me forever – I can just FEEL THE COMMENTS coming my way! 😀
M&M’s are a classic. For just $1.00 you can make someones day by purchasing this tube of classic calories and then do a simple fru-fru and trust me, you will be a ROCK STAR!
You do not need me today ( but I always hope that you know that you can email me with questions) but I will say (as I have said endless times) – Do not be hard on yourself if time is against you – there are ALWAYS ways that YOU can make someone smile with a super simple gesture like this!
The DSP is 4″ X 5″ and I put tear & tape all around and adhered….used some ribbon………added a simple heart with a sentiment and BAM – DONE!
I apologize that this is a short post but really this is all that needs to be said – go find something simple and add your flair and TRUST ME…you will shine an be soooooo happy that you made someones day!
I will say that YOU all always make my day….and my peeps and John will often pop onto my blog and say – WOW – you had a ton of comments…..that makes me feel so good but what really makes me feel good is know that I inspire you to reach and try……
I know that I was loser :- ( in not replying to all of the comments yesterday but honestly, I am not feeling the best and heck) – YOU KNOCKED THEM OUT OF THE PARK!!!!
Fingers crossed that we will have a great Simple Saturday….but I hope that you have FABULOUS FRIDAY and I hope that my super hard 3-D inspired you to try it…..as Mikey says, TRY IT….YOU MIGHT LIKE IT! 😕
p.s. – The M & M holders are GREAT for quarters! I am famous for snitching every quarter I see in the house as it goes to my motto that I say in our house – “Quarters for Clean Horses” – as this is how I stash them and keep them in the truck when I have to go to the Laundry Mat to do the glamorous job of washing horse blankets!!!! 😀
Cute Valentine treat, and you’re right…you can’t go wrong with M&Ms in my book too!
Simple maybe but so so smart!!! Now why didn’t I think of that!!!! I sure hope you are feeling better…..rest up Rudolph!!!!! ???
This is so adorable and I agree with Ann L. – How did you even come up with this? This is a must try and my kind of 3-D project (I struggle with them)! Sending warm thoughts and hugs to you so you feel better soon. GET SOME REST!
Love this idea. I have never seen M&Ms like this. Now I’ll have to look.
Susan I hope you do feel better real soon. I hope your weekend is full of resting.
🙂
Thanks for the very cute idea!! Take care and get lots of rest!
Clever girl! This is an adorable way to give a small token of your appreciation to someone. You come up with the best ideas. Hope you feel better soon.
Adorable ! How clever you are ! This is a great idea for an inexpensive treat ! YAY YOU !
Tell Nancy that you usually see these at the check out cashier spot where the gum and candy bars are (in drugstores mostly ) at least that is where I find my little baby containers of Altoids (which are cute covered w/dsp too ) Sometimes at the grocery store check outs also.
Okay Susan …go to a cozy spot wrap up in something warm and fuzzy and drink warm stuff (chicken soup , Russian tea , etc). and receive all the blessings and get well wishes we are sending you telepathically !! Hugs your way from all of us ( wearing surgical masks like the Chinese do ….tee hee)
Feel better soon Susan and take a break until you do. Sending healing vibes your way! Great idea today and encouraging words, as always!
Sorry you are still sick. We save quarters to use at the laundry mat in the summer. I’ll have an excuse to buy M&M’s. Your’s are adorable. Get well…Hugs
Short post – short comment:
GENIUS!!
(Sorry you’re sick. Feel better soon.)
Oh my, I hope you don’t have the “ugly” cold that is going around the US! I had that cold for a MONTH!! I went through four boxes of kleenex and wonder where all the “stuff” was coming from!! Didn’t know the body was capable of making that much “stuff” each day!!
Cute goody and I hope you start feeling better soon!!
Brilliant idea!!! M & M’s and quarters! Can’t go wrong. I keep rolls of quarters for parking meters in downtown Annapolis. Get well soon!!!!
I almost never use up a DSP stack but I certainly will this time, adding this great project to my list for next week’s holiday–I try to give each of my classes little treats for valentines, and I like each group to be different, so this will work perfectly. Thanks as ever for the inspiration!
FEEL BETTER SOON(ER)!
Really like todays post….easy, simple and outstanding. Feel better soon. Everyone will still be here when you are better. Sending get well hugs.
feel better my stamping friend. It is always good to make someone’s day happy and M&M’s can do that for sure.
Ummm, I wonder what Mikey is doing these days? Maybe he works for Quaker Oats? Hey, I have to do something to make you smile – Sonny gets up earlier or on the computer anyway and beats me to some of the fun stuff! Besides M&Ms you can find Mementos or whatever they are called in tubes too and those are pretty tasty too and equally fun to decorate. Again, they are by the checkout lanes. Oh, Sonny I love Altoid tins and I have several sizes including a few heart shaped ones. Oh, I wish they would bring back the chocolate covered ones. I have a box of empty tins in the closet just waiting for projects. Covered with needlework is fun too. But, Susan’s project is just pure fun and tastes good too besides fast and easy. This reminds me of the Paper Pumpkin tubes – the sky is the limit on what we put in the tubes – just in case you have some empty M&M tubes. The tag really makes this more of a gift too. Susan, we always need you no matter how many times you put that on your blog post. Now curl up in a blanket by the fire with Daisy, rest, drink something yummy, and dream of projects to be made in the future! Get better soon!
You are always coming up with tricks up your sleeves, Susan. You never cease to amaze me with your clean and simple talents. Even this 3-D project is simple to put together! Thank you once again for giving us ways to spruce up a fun Valentine treat and make it look home made and oh so easily too! Love it! Now go eat some soup and take a bubble bath and feel better real soon~Hugs
I had one of these M&M tubes once… yep kept quarters in it. I never got to the Ms…. hubby took care of that. This is a cute and clever project. Now if I can just find some of those tubes.
I hope you get better soon. Just a warning, just when you think you have it licked it comes back to pester you for a couple hours and then dashes off again. I’m on 5th day of that nonsense after 4 days of being down and out sick.
Bad pun coming — Are they quarters for quarter horses? As always, love your blog and hope you feel better soon.
Well wishes, thoughts, and prayers to you Susan, Judy and Jeanie also. We need you all well!
Feel better my friend! I wish I could drive…I would go get some of those M & M’s ! Your project is adorable and a great time saver!!! So sorry you are under the weather! Sending get well wishes.
Well, that’s just cute! Hope you feel better soon.
Brilliant idea – love how easy this is – thank you for sharing – it’s Valentines Day and I think I can make these today and come out smelling like a rose with my grandchildren !
