Well, I just sent her a note that I didn't have a Santa image, gasp!! But digging around my stuff, I remembered this Santa magnet from AC Moore that I purchased in the summer, and lo and behold...it was sitting next to my METAL Altoid box that I had saved, and the idea stuck...literally! I covered the Altoid logo with Boxer Basic Grey Collection paper, added a ribbon and stuck the magnet over the top. Added a bell on twine, and then covered it with gingham bows! Not sure what would fit in this, except maybe some coal for THE Buckle Man...hahahahaha!

Well, I am relieved that I was not the only person who had trouble taking Santa to the party. This is way cool. OK, it's not a Harley but DH is hoping to get a new bike this week - whichever one the traffic cops over here use. He wouldn't like the ribbon, but otherwise this would be so cool for him.

OMG! I really need to look at the gallery more often! This is a hoot! I love your idea, and MM's smooshed cigars! Ai yi yi! Well, he is on the naughty list, isn't he? And not by 'association'.
Adorable idea Kelly, and I love your ribbon! Beautiful!
