I can explain. . .

I'm really not a bad mom for grabbing the camera to take this picture instead of getting him out of his predicament. You see, just two minutes before this picture was taken he got his head stuck in the stool. I resisted the urge then to get the camera and helped him out. I then stood the stool back up and warned him to stop messing around with it or he was going to get stuck again. Of course, with his selective hearing he probably heard "mess around with the stool." Anyway, he started whining again and I turn around to find him like this - with his knees in his face. After I got the all important evidence, I tried pulling him out, but he was so wedged in there that I had to tip him out. He didn't mess with the stool after that.

I whipped these out last night for my visiting teaching ladies. Super easy (which I really needed this time of year!). I bought the peppermint candles for $3 each at Walmart. I just wrapped the candle with two strips of Rusty Pickle’s Grinchmas paper (my absolute fav!), then attached a tag with trims. I had embossed the tags with “to, from, and Merry Christmas” using the Girlfriend alpha stamps from Rusty Pickle (also my fav alpha stamp) and the Grinchmas stamps. I finished it off with rhinestones from Heidi Swapp and voila! a nice (and inexpensive!) little Christmas present!
