Altered peat pot candy gifts




I was so sad when I received a phone call from Ashley's school that she got injured during her lunch break. I drove her school right away to pick her up and she was so sad and was all shaken up. Once we got home, I waited til she was calm and felt ready to tell me what had happened. Turns out, it was an accident and two of her friends that she plays with everyday were so kind and guided her to the closest yard duty for help. Ashley explained to me how helpful her friends were and that they were both very comforting. As a mom, it makes me feel to good to hear that. I wanted to make her friends a little "thank you" gift for being so helpful to Ashley. I altered these peat pots from my local 99 cent store and painted it with Vintage White acrylic paint and spray some Lindy Stamp Gang Cosmopolitan Pink. For the bottom base I used the Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles die and new Heidi Grace Daydream collection. On the front of the peat pot I added a Spellbinders Lacey die cut and adhered a Greeting Farm Odette and Summer image on top. I had asked Ashley to pick to Greeting Farms stamps that looked like her two friends. I colored them both with my Copics markers and paper pieced them with the HG Daydream design papers. The back of the pots I added I Am Roses flowers and leaves. For the inside, I created a little bag of treats and placed a shabby chic digi ticket from Bety which she signed to each of them. I loved how they both turned out and can't thank the girls enough for being there for Ashley.

Listed here are the products I incorporated on both pots.
