Bags of Money!

Hello friends

Today sharing with you a festive project I created for the 
Reindeer Treat Bags or bags of money!

So simple to make. 
Little cello bags and using Mistletoe Gatefold to fold over
and secure the bag closed.


I used Reindeer as the topper and added loops of gold twine 
for a softer touch.


You need not put chocolate in the bag, these would make great
reindeer treat bags - perhaps put in a carrot or seed reindeer food.
Or maybe gingerbread?  Elliott recently made gingerbread and it was 
lovely, I failed at my attempt to make it so I think I'll leave the baking to him!


For the full money bag tutorial please pop over to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
blog here and if you have a minute leave a comment,
I truly appreciate that.

Thank you for the kind messages asking about Mum,
she's really quite poorly at the moment as she now has 
shingles, which is really unfair on top of everything else.
We are hopefully keeping her bright and fingers crossed
she feels better for Christmas.

Take care friends, I'm back with one more post
before the big day!

Morning Christine, I’m so sorry to hear that your Mum now has Shingles on top of everything else. I had it about 15 years ago and it was the most debilitating and painful thing I’ve ever had, so can really understand how she’s feeling. I hope she soon improves and can enjoy something of Christmas. Love to you all. Jean x

This is adorable Christine, a great gift idea.
So sorry to hear your Mum is not well and shingles are difficult for anyone much less a senior. Praying she feels a bit better for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Hi Christine, This idea is fabulous !! I adore the reindeer, she is so cute.
I hope your Mum is soon feeling better, it seems to be one thing after another, I 'feel' for her.
Well done Elliott, I adore gingerbread, but tend to make 'circles' instead of 'men' as I don't like to bite their heads, arms or legs off haha.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
