My First Altered Frap Set!

Yeah, yeah I know I'm behind the times. Everyone was making these sets a couple of years ago. I've tried making them in the past, but the carry case was different, so it was a little harder to make and I just didn't like the look. At work Mitch drew names for a gift exchange. He got a gal that likes cocoa. So I thought I'd make this set and have one of the jars have cocoa in it. He also got a pretty red mug with white snowflakes to go with it. I found this wonderful My Mind's Eye Bohemia 2-sided paper last night and it worked out perfectly! I plan on doing another one for the Phase 1 nurses at Karmanos. Tim has to be there for a drug trial on Weds. so it'll be great to give them some goodies just before Christmas! I found quotes online by putting chocolate quotes in a google search. Of course Mitch had to have a movie quote too! Click on each photo to make it larger if you'd like to read the quotes. Let me know what you think. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. Are you all done with your gifts yet?

Everything "old" is new again, right? Seriously, if these ever went "out" of style, I missed the memo! LOL! Frap is always good, and who can resist those bottles?!? Not me!
This is super cute, Carm!
