I had been to a number of store looking for boxes for cookies. Hubby and I have baked about forty to fifty dozen. I am not exaggerating.
It’s been a tradition for a number of years.
We plan on gifting many of them as usual. But I couldn’t find any cute boxes.
While Dollar Tree would ordinarily be my first stop, it wasn’t this year because I’d just been there a few days prior and there had been nothing I liked.
But I was in for a great surprise.
I mean look at these: They hold about a dozen and a half cookies and a few candies. But my next dilemma was how to keep the cookies separate from each other. I cut waxed paper into squares but that wasn’t the least bit attractive.
Then inspiration hit.
Coffee filters!
Nice, huh?
The coffee filters look all “ruffly”. I love the look.
And, yes, I am keeping some for me for decorations for next year.
Here’s another couple of small ones I found.
God bless and I hope you’re making good progress with your Christmas shopping.
Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
