Box 12, entitled 'The Treat Box', took it's time in coming! I received a 'red slip of doom' on Friday, and as i was away all weekend I didn't get my hands on my box until Tuesday (yesterday!). After all the positive and raving comments on Twitter and Facebook, i caved and read some blog spoilers, so my creative juices have been mulling this box over this weekend!
Here are the contents...
Gorgeous Art Card by Louise Williams
The Kit - a sweet-inspired cross stitch! I've done a lot of cross stitching in the past, so looking forward to this one! i have tons of embroidery flosses so will probably mix up the colours a bit...
Macaroon fabric fat quarter - i LOVE macaroons! This fabric has a good weight to it, and is so pretty! can't quite decide what to use it for yet as i don't want to waste it!
Cookie cutter - i love butterflies so excited to try this!
Recipie card by Cathryn Dresser - i was a huge Cathryn fan during the Bake Off! I've also just started using spelt in things, so intrigued to try these biscuits out!
2 Chupa Chups - how yummy!
Double sided craft papers - very pretty and colourful designs. Will add it into my papercrafts stash whilst i think on a good use for them.
Three cake slice charms from Susan King - I
love Susan's work and have been an admirer for quite some time, so was VERY
excited when i read about these in the blog spoilers! I was reaaaally
hoping for two of the same colour and was so excited to get two pink &
blue! These will be swiftly turned into matching earrings! I also
received one pink and mint green charm, which will be put to one side
whilst i think of something special to do with it!
Cupcake grosgrain ribbon - i have a vast and growing collection of ribbons, so this pretty length can join the happy family! However, I am loathed to use my ribbons as i love them so much!
5 ice cream buttons - how lovely?! I have a few ideas for these, mainly to use in forthcoming projects, so will share what happens to them in the future...
12 alteration tags from Stix2 - i was going to buy some of these, so was happy to find some in the box! I have plans to washi tape and ribbon them! perfect for gifting ear studs.
Colourful juicy beads - no real plans for these, but i really like the shine on them (the photos don't do them justice!), so will use them in future
'M' print cabochons - I have to be honest, but i was so disappointed with these... I saw how everyone (well, everyone i've seen!) got an array of colourful ones, and i LOVE colour and had some big plans for these... and then mine turned up and were black and white :( anybody want to do some swapping? Even just a couple?! I'd be very grateful!
So there we have it! despite the 'M' cabochons disappointment, I do really love this box, and it feels very summery! Next month is the Birthday Box, and I'm very excited to see what that one has to offer!
You're so sweet! I'm really glad you like the cakes :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so impatient to get my box- if/when I do I'd be happy to send/swap some of my M&Ms if I don't end up with white/black too! <3
Oh, i meant every word! i really do LOVE your work!
Deleteso sad for you that you haven't received yours yet :( do let me know if you ever do!

I got mine today! I ended up with what they referred to as the '70's ice cream' mix- pink, brown, and cream- though only two pink and my daughter has claimed them. Would you want some of the brown/cream ones?
