Ooooooo, have I been up to some sneaky makings.
I can’t wait to share.
New treats in my on-line shop!
What, what could these treats be, you wonder perhaps?
Well.
I had a major heart desire for some outrageous, silly, wacky nonsensical Christmas makings.
The sort of makings that make you wonder if I have fallen off my rocker.
And so.
I plunged into Christmas Jar Labels.
Of the funny outrageous variety.
If you have a wicked sense of humor, of the bestest kind, then you might chuckle at some of these labels.
🙂
Tee hee.
My mom (who has a rated G sense of humor, which told me these are a-okay) was my partner in crime when I was coming up with these.
Boy did we laugh.
I know I know, gross!
But, I just had to.
Forgive me in advance, haha!
Jar Labels!
I also have some new cards to share, which I will do after I share the labels.
So let’s look at the labels, and some ideas for tops and contents…
The thing about these labels is that, you can make the jars have scrumptious edibles in them, and either give the whole set to someone as a gift…
(my grandpa would get a HUGE kick out of these)
Or you can gift them individually.
Or use them in your own decor.
Mine are for Lovee, since he loooooves candy.
And will be a part of my decor.
Also…
If I had had more time, I would have made the tops even more ridiculous and over the top.
The sky’s the limit!
But these were extra fun to make, no matter the time constraints.
For instance, for Snowmen’s Hearts, you could make a glittered cotton ball snowman for the top.
I used marshmallows for the actual Snowmen’s Hearts jar contents.
Which I think make perfect snowmen hearts.
Do you?
And some thread for the top, you know, for mending hearts and all 😉
Then we have some angel……
I filled the jar with popcorn for said toots.
But I was thinking, my mom’s caramel corn recipe…?
Sprinkled with lots of edible glitter when hot (the good sparkly kind)…
Would be soooo fun in these jars!
I had some small angel wings I tied on too.
Which gave me a giggle.
Also…
Crepe paper and doilies always do the trick in fancying up jar decor.
I also made a couple labels that aren’t so, umm, funny?
But make for extra pretty jar filling.
Like Winter Wonderland.
Which you can use on a large jar and fill with an assortment of treats.
Here we come to the funniest one, I think.
I know, eeeeeeeeeewe!
Raisinets work perfectly for this jar.
You know, chocolate covered raisins.
I can’t think of any man or child who wouldn’t laugh at receiving a jar of
Reindeer…
Hahahhehehee.
Okay, what else do we have?
Oh one of my faves.
Candied Sugar Plum Fairies.
Yes, yes sirree.
The actual fairies.
Candied!
Oh my!
I filled my jar with those giant sized Dots looking candies that are rolled in sugar, and some big jelly beans.
Of course, we need some peppermint love.
So how about Peppermint Kisses?
I used peppermint twists, wrapped old fashioned like.
But you could always use actual Hershey’s Peppermint Kisses.
Oh oh.
And how about….
Elf Ears!!
I used orange jelly candies covered in sugar for Elf Ears.
Yumm yumm! 😉
So many things you could do.
You could even make sugar cookie or gingerbread cookie ears.
So many options for the jars.
You don’t even have to use edibles.
You could come up with other funny wacky contents.
I have to say, these are sooooo much fun to work on.
I so lost myself in decorating my jars.
I am going to make some up as gifts too.
OH!
I almost forgot.
The question of the season…
Have you been Naughty or Nice?
My local drugstore called Walgreens is carrying this brand of candies and items labeled, Nice!
I noticed that those poofy melt in your mouth peppermints were wrapped in paper that said, Nice!
Perfecto.
You could also use little bits of black licorice for coal…
If the folks around you have been mostly naughty 😉
I just had such a blast making these.
I know, I said that a bunch of times already.
But I so did.
I hope you’ll try them.
They’re a fun project.
I also just received some new cards for the shop.
These flower and red berry cards made me gasp when I opened the box.
The colors and such.
So pretty.
The berries also make the cards holiday festive.
We also have…
The Magic of Christmas – Sugar Plum Fairy, in card form.
(and canvas print form)
And our Merry Santa is back too.
This card is soooo sparkly looking!
And last, but definitely not least.
Elves.
Furry friend elves, bunny elves, elves!
In card form.
Haha, those wee faces always get a giggle out of me.
So, cards and labels…
Woo hooo!
I have been working feverishly on those jars, to share how they’d look decorated.
I hope they made you chuckle a little 😉
Loove, V


























Vanessa
You must have just posted this!
Gosh! Your wit is sooo goofy! I love it!
Heee Heeee Heee…
You have got to be ‘high’ on candy for being sooooo silly!
I love those soft peppermint candies that melt in your mouth.
And I adore the new cards too! Must get some soon!
hugs, with lots of giggles

These labels are hilarious! Way to go, sis! I love that you put angel wings on the angel toot jar. Where on earth did you find mini wings like that? It would be funny to put small balls of cotton candy in a jar with that label, as well.
I know a lot of people that would get a kick out of the reindeer poop label. Wait… if I know a lot of people that would love that, what does that say about me? Haha!
I love your new cards! That flower and berry one is fantastique.
Naughty little Vanessa! Hee hee. Your jars are gorgeousness!!! I love how you decorated the tops of them, and I thank you so much for the inspiration!
YOur labels are amazingly fun! What a bright idea to call the popcorn angel farts :D. The decorated jars are wonderful!
I love those labels and your jars, Vanessa! What a great idea for a candyland display. The way you decorated each top is just lovely and “tops” off the whole thing beautifully. : )
I LOVE your jars, how pretty and imaginative!
Quickly popped in to see what you have been up to! Oh Boy, you have been a busy gal and getting your mom involved! Such treasured moments together! It is all so FUN and mixed with some Adorably Naughty! You have got to love the reindeer poop! Too Funny! Love your card with the roses and berries too!
So Vanessa, do you think we will have winter this year! Yikes!
Anyways, I want to wish you Happy B-day in case I don’t get back to bloggy land for awhile! I celebrate my 50 this weekend! How did that happen!
Anyways, CHEERS to December Babies!!!!<3<3<3
They are all so cute! I love the reindeer poop one! haha!
love & blessings
~*~
I got my ab workout in laughing at those labels…they were just so unexpected! When I saw all of the colorful jars and decorations, I think I combusted inside or something. Anyway, you have definitely got me in the Christmas spirit! I know what I’m doing this weekend…:)
Have a great day!
P.S. Still chuckling spastically…
Eeeep! Just look at that lovely deerling label!! (Or as my wee one would say “deewh”)……I’m so glad to see your doing splendidly and creating up a storm this Holiday season!! Merry Merry Merry times to You Miss Twistlette!! 🙂
I will just say that you are brilliant…and hilarious…and brilliant! :)))
Hugs,

You are such a silly goose and I miss you so mooch!! (It had to rhyme with goose, but then you knew that, didn’t you???
How have you been, my Beloved Fanciful Friend…ling “-). Do you still remember me or do I linger somewhere within your memory??
Anywho, angel flatulence caught my eye and I began to wonder, oh my, what is my Elfin friend up to, for angels don’t flatulate,do you?? Don’t answer that question PlEaSe!!!
Oh you are so DaRlInG, Vanessa, and I have missed you dearly over the past…who knows how long “-(.
Oh, I just popped into your shop and bought a few delightful items. Such cute creating you’ve been up…naughty or nice…hmmm, lets see…tee hee!!

These are my kind of jar labels!

Yay! I’m going over to get caught up on your sister’s blog. Last I read she was having “technical difficulties.” Now, I see she’s back!

Those jars (and labels of course) are so gorgeous and inspiring! I love your witchy Halloween labels but these are so sweet and delightful too! Like they’re from a magical Christmas bake shop.
Christmas Love all around…
I LOVE everything…especially that Peppermint kisses label (you need to add some more to your shop Ms. V, ah hem 😉 😉 I am obsessed with the real peppermint kisses and one of my girlfriends and I have this ongoing joke about it. She keeps bringing them to me as ‘baby gifts,’ tee hee and I keep telling her it’s time to get my body back! It’d be awesome if I decorated a jar full of these to put on her front porch! And the Merry Santa postcards are my fav…still have quite a few from last year to use, but those berries and roses are just precious!
Merry early Christmas Vanessa,
Jamie 🙂
Jamiecakes!!!
Ugh, I was under the weather, but thank you oooodles for letting know about
the labels, you rock 😉
HUGE hugs!!

I love these labels, Vanessa! They are SO fun!!!! What a great idea. 🙂 And I love your sugar plum fairy – she is beautiful and I adore the tree, too. 🙂 Christmas is such a magical time…we just went to see the Christmas light display in our town last night. Always so beautiful!
