Chocolate for the High School Senior

I don't know about you, but I had "senioritis" pretty bad my last year of high school.  I was SO ready to get on with college and adult life.  My baby sister is a senior this year, and she's got it bad, too.  She's also a major chocoholic, so when I saw the prompt for this week's challenge at The Paper Variety, I knew exactly what to do:


Senioritis Pills!  The prompt is to scrapbook a treat of some kind, be it a Halloween goodie bag or any other themed sweets.  While doing her homework and finishing up all those scholarship applications, she can relieve the stress with Junior Mints, Chocolate-covered Cookie Dough Bites, Mint Bliss Chocolates, Snickers, and Baby Ruths.


I used a simple craft storage box and embellished it with Sassafras papers, Cosmo Cricket ribbons and alphas, and an Elles Studio tag.  Pretty sweet, huh?  I hope you join in over at The Paper Variety this week.  The prize is fantastic! I wish I could play! 

And on a not-so-sweet note, we have a plumbing problem.  It's not good.  I won't be able to create or ship orders for a day or two, but little extras will accompany each package that goes out late as my thanks for your patience. 

I hope your humpday is better than mine :).  Tessa
