| Donna - It is a terra cotta pot painted in brown and ecru stripes. The rim is covered in coffee beans and then there is stenciled coffee cup on the pot also. Her kitchen is decorated in a coffee house theme so I thought this would be cute. I could make a coffee flavored snack, or homemade creamers or homemade flavored coffees etc.. to put in a bag to set in the pot and then she could use the pot for a plant, utensils or whatever.
I am also painting a little wooden box for my niece to put her necklace in I got her for Christmas.

| Are we doing a craft challenge for May?
Were we going to continue with one craft gift per month?
I ended up giving my scarf from April as a donation for this month's homeless day but have plenty of wool to knit another exactly the same. I'm planning on knitting a blue one this month. I need to knit 6 scarves for the females on my side of the family.

I have painted a little wooden box for my niece to put her necklace in but when I went to stencil it it smeared so I have to repaint

Yep, that's what I meant by craft gifts. 
The box sounds nice Vicki, what colour are you painting it?

| I need to go to Michaels now to get my transfer paper, ecru paint and brown paint to start the flower pot gift. I am also working on little boxes that look like peppermint candy to fill with hot cocoa mix

| Vicki, that little box is so pretty, is that the decorated gift box?
The peppermint candy decorated boxes sound really cute too.
