goody tins

this year i revamped some old ugly cookie tins for my christmas gift goodies.

i bought tins from a thrift store and painted them with flat black spray paint. i had an idea that it might work like chalk board paint...not so much! so new plan was to highly embellish them with loads of ribbon and a cut out of a funny christmas card on top.
Inside i made coconut macaroons....

and peanut butter fudge....

i added my touch by drizzling everything with chocolate.

Robots Attack Christmas!!

the decided theme for this year's tree was robots! here are a few images of the decor:

i made the ornaments from photocopied images of old metal robots and then added glitter/sequins/pipe cleaners and then attached them to mini pie tins, vintage light reflectors or just hung as is. also used the aluminum tree to continue the metal theme.

Then the christmas village was attacked!


above the village i put a few old ornament boxes for display. no robots involved, nor harmed.

asshole alert!
