Well, my Kitchenaid mixer got a workout this weekend! I made 12 batches of cookies and baked seven loaves of pumpkin bread. Yum!! I've already given a bunch away, but the rest are here waiting to be eaten. I'm trying to be good, but... :)
I also made some gifts to give some people at work. I love making chocolate covered pretzles because they are so easy. Just melt, dip and sprinkle! Usually I put them in cellophane bags, but this year, these mason jars were on sale so I scooped up a few. I'm glad I did. The added ribbon, berries and flowers really dressed them up.
The poinsettias, flower center and leaves are Prima. I goth the berries at ACM, also on sale. I tied the ribbon on the jar and hot glued everything else on.
Can't wait to give these away!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. :)

Wow, how beautiful this looks, Anabelle! I love to make chocolate covered pretzels at Christmas, too. It's one of my standards each year, and I give it away to the neighbors. Haven't gotten to it this year yet. ;0
I tend to make the bigger pretzels, but now after seeing how great they look in the mason jar, I might have to rethink things. Your jar is absolutely gorgeous. Love the big ribbon and the berries added to those yummy Prima goodies.
