Treat Bags!

Well hello! I have sweet treats on my mind.  Oh my, how I love sweets.  You know what else I love more? Cutely packaged treats.

Oh friends, I sure have some fun (and sweet) things in store for you this year. I've been hearing from lots of you, missing my online shop. And although I won't be selling things online anymore (we just couldn't keep up with the demand), I thought about something that would be even better. Free things. Cute things. Sweet things. So, for my first treat just for you, with Valentines Day in mind, I give you..... Treat Bags!

Perfect for packaging any little things you like.

Here's what you do:

Step 1.) Download my treat bags file onto your computer and print.  Follow my instructions (provided in the download) for cutting and glueing.  Click here for the download.

Step 2.) Gather up your favorite treats or doo-dads or whatever you love:

Step 3.) Plunk your treats into your cute little bags that you just crafted, all by your little self (or with your best pal or sweet children):

And then give, give, give! Make someone's day.

Or wait for Valentines to pass out your surprise treats, Farm Chick Style.

Happy day, sweet friends. Happy day.

Note on directions: If you're not crazy about glueing the bags, double stick tape is a great alternative.

Candy sources: The Sweet Sticks are from Trader Joes.  The Valentine M&M's are from Target.

Special thanks to Elle's Studio, for bringing these bags to life for me to share with you. xo
