Treats! #FSJCC3

Hello Journey friends,

I'm popping in to share my Make-Live-Share project with you today.  This project was inspired by Richard Garay's treat project that can be seen HERE.  I decided to create a little treat container for the computer specialist at our school.  She's been working like crazy for the past few weeks getting all the computers set up for 3-6 grade students to practice their state testing in Reading and Math.  My third graders did quite well on their practice Reading SOL last week and tomorrow, they take their practice Math SOL.  In Virginia, students in grades 3 and beyond take yearly assessments.  It's not a fun time of year, but we know it must be done.

Do you notice I used this month's Color Challenge Colors?  This will be my fourth entry in the color challenge #FSJCC3, I think!  WOWEE!  I'm loving this unexpected combination! Why not join the fun in creating something for the challenge?!?  You'll be pleasantly surprised with the color mix!
Inside the treat container is a little baggie of Skittles.  They're my most favorite sweet treat and I especially love the orange ones!  Do you have a favorite flavor of Skittles?  Reply in the comments and I'll send YOU a special treat container made especially for you!  
Don't skimp on decorating the back!!!  I used the other half of the die on the back side of the treat container.  As this treat can be viewed "in-the-round", I wanted to make sure to add some special details there too.  
This little treat bag was quite relaxing to make.  It helped calm my nerves while focusing on making something special for someone who has worked hard to set up and prepare so many computers for our testing adventures.  It's high stress for her, so tomorrow she can sit back and wait for the error codes...and pop a few Skittles in between! I hope she enjoys the sweet treat and all the while...helps encourage us all to "Believe".
