Willy Wonka Themed Gift Box

Growing up, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favorite movies (in addition to the Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins!). What chocolate-loving child wouldn’t want a candy room like the one Willy Wonka had? So this year I made several of these gift boxes for friends and…

Mini Backpack Gift for teachers

I love gift cards. Some people don’t like receiving them because they think they’re just a last minute lazy gift, but let it be known that I will take any and all gift cards you want to gift to me. Especially ones to Target and Amazon. However, I do understand…
