Since all the grands are far away I never do treat bags for Halloween. This year, however, I thought I give one to Jim. Figured he needed a 'pick me up' anyway. Oh, and by the way......he's doing pretty good I guess. About the same but we're making it from one day to the next so what more can you ask for. Some days are VERY long but we keep rocking along.
Using the Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn and a cute FREE image from Newton's Nook, I created a small treat bag. I colored part of the image with Copics and then also did some paper piecing. We've got lollipops, butterscotch, and two Hershey bars in the pumpkin. I'll put a real Hershey bar in the bag before giving it to him. If I do it now, he'll eat it! The little ring thingy on the sentiment is some type of wire clip I found hiding with my brads.
I'll enter this in the Inky Paws Challenge at Newton's Nook (Halloween Theme). I'd also like to enter it in the challenge at Whimsy (Anything Goes or Halloween) and Die Cuttin Divas (Pumpkin or Scarecrow).
Thanks for stopping by........

What a great idea, Lynn! I think Jim will appreciate it. I didn't pick up this freebie yet so thanks for the reminder. Not sure if I'll have a chance to join the challenge or not but your treat bag is AWESOME!
Fabulous treat bag Lynn, I'm sure it will put a smile on Jim's face..Glad to hear you are coping day by day..think of you often.
luv CHRISSYxx
That's such a cute treat bag, complete with a jovial pumpkin and chocolate! (eventually!) I do hope your hubby is feeling better and showing improvement each and every day! Slow and steady........just like the sugar rush he'll get with that Hershey bar :)
That treat bag is so cute, he's going to love it! Thanks for joining our challenge this week at Die Cuttin' Divas.

Oh Lynn, this is adorable and Jim will love it, especially the real Hershey bar. I know what you mean because if any candy bar makes it for two days in this house that is a real big deal. LOL I have a bunch of those little ring "thingy" also and never think to take them out and use them. I'm happy you did. Enjoy the evening.
Wonderful treat bag Lynn, loving the image

Super sweet, Lynn! Glad Jim is doing better! (I think you deserve a treat, too!) :)
This is really cute, Lynn! I love how you used the clip on the sentiment. I have tons somewhere deep in my stash!
I was wondering how your Jim was doing. You both are in my daily prayers. A little goodies bag usually cheers someone up a bit. Tell Jim I said Hi and give him my best.
Love, Hugs and Blessings

What a sweet (pardon the pun) bag, and a great pick-me-up for Jim.
Hugs and blessings

Thanks for the update on Jim, glad he's doing better! I know that this treat bag will put a smile on his face too! :) Adorable!! Love that fun image and the bag design is too cute!
I love the idea of doing a treat bag for Jim, Lynn. My daughter and I used to exchange Easter baskets each year once she became an adult and was no longer hunting for eggs and goodies. I'm sure we each bought the candies we loved most, even if the other person didn't care for them. Afterall, guess who was going to get them when they were rejected by the recipient? lol
Love that pumpkin and am interested in the Goodie Bag die. Will have to follow up on that one.
This is adorable, and what a sweet loving thing for you to do. Both of you can enjoy the goodies while you admire the cuteness! Good for you on this project, 'cause it's one I've never attempted. TFS & Hugs
This is so cute and such a fun idea for Jim. I'm sure he'll love it.
Love it. Love you. Xoxo
This Treat Bag is adorable and I am sure your husband will love it and the chocolate inside!! I love the pumpkin filled with yummies!!
What a cute treat bag! Hope it cheers Jim up! Candy is always good!
What a great treat bag Lynn, a really lovely idea

Cute treat bag! I bet he loved it!
This is so very cute. I think it will be a great pick me up!
How fun- love this cute bag- and the candy inside as well! Oh, I would ea a candy bar myself.....Ray knows it is a bad idea to but Halloween candy at our house until it gets a few days away, otherwise........ : )
yeah, some of us cannot be trusted in advance to save our treats!!! :0 tho the lollipops would be pretty safe from me, as long as the chocolate held out, lol. this is BEYOND adorable, and the gingham ribbon and twine positively make it.
glad the man is doing ok. i suspect this is one of those situations where one is geared up for a SPRINT and find out after a couple of miles, oh no... it's a marathon... just gotta keep plugging away i guess... ♥♥♥
Fun bag! Thank you for joining our “Pumpkins/Scarecrows” Challenge this week at Die Cuttin’ Divas.
Stay Creative,
