Don't Worry!

I didn't actually let down any of my very few... if any... readers! I have not quit my blog! I just took a break... an extremely long one! But I apologize for it! I know it drives me crazy when other bloggers do the same! Sorry about that... well I guess I need to make up for it! With a squirt of my sister's disgusting caramel apple scented lotion rubbed into my hands, I'm ready to begin!

Oh boy the holiday season! That means we all have less than a month to shop like crazy, discretely wrap, and then cleverly HIDE presents for that really long list of people who needs gifts! It truly is worth it to see their smile (hopefully!) when they open it, but for now, it doesn't seem like that! I know my wallet is starting to ACHE!

Let me introduce you to...

 A Hug Box! Here's a picture of one I made:

Not the best picture, but hey it's photobooth! It's the best we're gonna get...

Well anyway, you take a box (or make one!) and then either wrap it (that's what I did) or decoupage it. Next you need to somehow attach the following poem:

This is a very special gift
That you can never see
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you from me.

Whenever you are lonely
Or are ever feeling blue
You only have to hold this gift
And know I'm hugging you.

You never can unwrap it
Please leave the ribbon tied
Just hold the box close to your heart
It's filled with hugs inside.

It's a really easy gift to make and I hopefully plan on making some more for other people... 

My wallet certainly thanks me for this one!
