This particular order of baskets is from an attorney friend who delivers them to his bigger clients. I've had this account for about 10 years now. Since they are delivered to the same people every year, I try to come up with something new and fun. This year I used wood crates instead of baskets or hat boxes. They are still, as always, filled with gourmet foods per his request.
I put together some items to make the bow look a little more interesting.If you do this, make sure you don't use your hot glue gun anywhere near your coffee cup. ha.
I had six of these to make and they are finished and ready to go. They are to be hand delivered. I have another six to make that will be packaged a little differently. They will be shipped to clients out of state. I have to say, I'm really hungry for yummy snack foods after looking at this stuff for several days now! I need to start baking some Christmas cookies!

Well he is a machine after all
ReplyDeleteVisiting daily like 1000 people at their hall
So I guess we can forgive a bit
If his comments don't always hit
Yes I know all sweet and dear
That just causes more fear..haha
Yeah, I'm all sweet and dear
ReplyDeletebut have no fear

Well, maybe it is a little bit
so you might have to throw a fit
when you start being too nice
to people, and even mice.

ReplyDeleteNice to be able to develop clientel this way.
I love making baskets like this and flower arranging.
Betsy...those are beautiful.I am quite impressed.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am so glad you explained about that coffee cup, cause I was thinking that some spider was also getting creative while you were busy with the baskets lol.
If you can figure out how to do that with sugar strands across a coffee cup you can BRAND it and call it Crystal Sugar Coffee Kisses lol
In Him,
Grace
