today i want to read you a story.
i think it would be nice to gather around the fireplace to hear it don't you?
but we have a problem...
i don't have a need for a fireplace cuz i live in florida.
but since fireplaces are so much
a part of winters and holiday times,
let's make one anyway!
all ya gotta do is follow the directions here.
it's easy, really, and fun to see it come together.
look!
shoot hope you didn't burn yourself!...
let's see those stockings again ok?
the candy kit comes with its own food marker.
sweet!
oh and those sticks on top?
they are really candles, see?
now that we got the fireplace done, i see we have a visitor!
ok, looks like he isn't gonna bother anyone.
that's good cuz i'm not a real fan of mice.
although he is a cutie...
ok, so now we are ready for our story!
gather 'round. gather 'round.
(perhaps he would bring a better looking rug?...)
anywho, wow!
anywho, wow!
look at all those fireplaces.
times that by 1,245,237,009,786,545,243 more fireplaces and someone's got a big job to do...
jeepers and i thought i was spastic getting ready for the holidays.
poor guy's gotta do EVERYTHING in ONE night!
hope you get some shut eye rest before santa gets to your house!
as for me and my gigundo long list yet to do,
it looks like it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
i mean, i didn't even get to finish the rest of the story!
:>P
Adorbs, girl!! Don't need a fire place in AZ either, but I do need some of these! I know I haven't been commenting much, but I'm still out here. Just.....well.....busy! But you are still my BBFF! Dona
ReplyDeleteyeah i hear you loud and clear Dona! i am soooo far behind in reading my bloglovin'-like over 2000+ that i have yet to get to-ugh! but i guess the "most wonderful time of the year" is also the busiest! anywho, ALWAYS happy when you come by my BBFF! :)
DeleteYou do have SOME imagination!
ReplyDeleteI will be visiting party blog links well into the new year. we are already cold here with snow on the way. I will hibernate.
oh please sign me up for hibernation too DogsMom! i wanna be a bear! well actually, i think i'd make a lousy one since i can't seem to rest during this time of the year. better get me a raincheck! or hey i could always imagine :) lol thanks so much!
DeleteAs soon as I saw these, I knew you made them! I'm in love - the mouse especially! So cute and mini! Another amazingly creative treat!
ReplyDeletehey you guessed this was mine? i'm SO happy especially since you say you love them Aida! heehee i love that little mouse too and wouldn't mind him sleeping next to my bed every night. he just better watch it if i want a midnite snack...:>O
DeleteLisa your little fireplaces are just adorable - I bet Santa wishes you could come and help him out! You would be his #1 Elf!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! now THAT job i wouldn't mind at all Kim! getting up to have cookies, making toys, singing carols, and meeting Will Ferrell! we can enjoy the 4 food groups together...candy, candy canes, syrup and uh....Will can have the candy corns, since i don't care too much for the taste and need to watch my weight! ;>D
DeleteToo cute! And it's great that these can be made ahead and will keep!
ReplyDeleteyes they can if you can hide them from the kids that long! although when i brought these to a christmas party, the adults took them first and brought them home to show the rest of their families! lol perhaps they had a hard time with the concept of eating a fireplace? :>O thanks SO much for stopping by swirlsandspice!
DeleteWow, this is truly awesome! I love how it is actually pretty simple to make, too! Thanks so much for the great idea. Love the tiny, cute mouse!
ReplyDeleteas soon as i saw those stockings at target Michelle, a lightbulb went off! they were a lot of fun to make. too bad stupid food markers don't work well to make the rug designs but i think the little mouse made up for it :) thanks SO much for coming by! :)
DeleteThese are just too stinking cute! I will have to pin these for next year, thank you for sharing!
