Hanging Treat Box

This is my version of the splitcoast Hanging Treat Box This project is fun and easy. There are so many possibilities for this treat box. I can see it being used with those cute little slim quick snacks and some bottled water for that friend who is trying to get into shape. Speaking of shape, I was diagnosed with Diabetes today. I got to talk to a great nutritionist. I confess to be a carb tripping (bread is my vice) kinda girl. Now that I've hit my early 40's things are just well.... I need to make one of the hanging treat boxes with the slim fast bars for me! Life will change dramatically for me, but I am actually looking forward to becoming healthier. With this in mind, I'm adding to my BLOG CANDY, I will include a hanging treat box. It will not be the same as the one shown. And unless I can peel my husband away from the 'main' computer, my scanner is now in the garbage. It is so sad... I've had that thing for like 7 years. We'll make this even more interesting. After a nearly 10 year absence, I have picked up an instrument. The first one to guess it correct will receive a card. Here is a hint, I'm not an 'oboe' kinda girl. If you have a guess, email it to me directly at ms.rhetta@verizon.net. I welcome emails and comments, Since I am fairly new to this blog I want to grow my readership. My ultimate goal is to be picked up by a few more stamp companies as a designer. Stamping is my true passion. Beginning today, every week I will feature either a blog or websight that I enjoy to visit. This week we will start with one of my favorites. Even though I am a seasoned stamper, I love this websight. Linda Heller's Stamping school is worth the small (I think) $29.00. Its great for those days when you just need to relax and watch someone else involved in the creative process. She even has a blog with free videos so check out the websight and snoop around. Disclaimer: I am not paid to *encoruage* you to visit any blogs or websights, it is my free choice to either encourage or discourage visits. I will take a moment to encourage each of you to submitt those great projects for publication. You never know what will happen. It is so worth seeing a project you worked for in print for the masses! Happy Stamping to all! Loretta

Good luck with your diabetes! It's not fun to get used to but you will! Your body will thank you for all the changes you make with it too! My daughter has been diabetic since 16 and her best tip has been stay away from "white foods"! Pasta, breads, white flour tortillas etc... She usually tries hard to stay up on it but, like anything else has bad days - just plan to be better the next! Oh and for emergency use we keep the little "smarty" candy around. Its better for raising your blood sugar and won't choke you and is much easier to carry around then orange juice too! LOL! Good luck!

I had Diabetes while I was pregnant. Definately something that takes getting used to. I'm a carb-addict as well. I'll tell you that it wasn't so hard cutting carbs right down when the reason was my health (and baby's health too in my case). It'll be easier for you than it would be if you were just dieting or something.
I love your blog !
