Visiting teaching treat

Summer has put a damper on my Visiting Teaching. It's so hard to coordinate schedules when everyone is taking vacations. So to start the next month off right I did this little treat to take to my sisters. 

The tag on top reads:

We are looking forward top "popping" in on you each month. Love your visiting teachers

I put popcorn kernels in a mason jar, topped the lid with a cupcake paper and some ribbon, and added a brad to cover the overlap of the ribbon.

I also added a few paperbags to pop the popcorn in as well as the instructions on how to do that. 

I also put popcorn flavorings in those cute little tins that you can find in the wedding sections at Michaels. Topped them off with some tags so they know what is what. 

I love that you can take somethings simple and package it up cute to be a fun little treat.

VT Treat

I am ashamed to say that I have not been very diligent with my Visiting Teaching the last few months but it's a new year and I decided I wanted to be the kind of visiting teacher I'd want and to make a visit every month this year. 

I am so thankful for this program and the opportunity it gives me to get to know the women of my ward and for the opportunity it gives me to talk to other women and laugh, we laugh quite often. 

This month I brought just a little treat for when you just need a little chocolate. 

These are Hershey Nuggets wrapped in paper and placed in the pretzel rod bags you can find in the candy isle of your local craft store. Original idea found here : Inking Idaho

Treat cans

The message this month for VTing is about self reliance. And because I like to bring a little something when I go THIS idea came to me from Our Best Bites. I adapted it a little to make it my own and I love how it turned out. I found the image on line somewhere but can not remember where. If you'd like it let me know and I'd be happy to share.

I liked the idea so much that I made them for my Beehives for a "good luck on your finals" treat that I took around to each girl.

Word to the wise: be careful with the open cans when you're filling them. I've got the cuts from not being careful enough, ouch.

I think they were a big hit and had so much fun doing them!

Just a little something I brought to my visiting teachees this month.
Buckets from the dollar bins at Target. Did my tag on photoshop. They felt very summery to me, loved the colors.
