How about some nice warm Cocoa to keep you cozy while you hop?

This is Oliver, doesn't he just look so cute and cuddly with his Cocoa?  Well he inspired me to make a box of Hot Cocoa goodies!  I colored Oliver with my Copics, but to get a little more "dimension" to him, I used White Liquid Applique on his hat (make sure you let this stuff dry, over night is ideal, before you put a heat gun to it… makes all the difference in the world!!), I also used my Black Sakura Glaze pen for his eyes.  Can you guess what my box is "leaning" against?  Yup, my kitty!  I was trying to finish my project and my cat just insisted on "getting involved" so while he lay RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WORKSPACE, I decided to use him to prop up my box for pictures, lol!  Here is a view of the inside and side views (yup, on top of my cat!)

I think I'm going to send this to my Chemo Patient and his sister (after I go and get some more marshmallows and hot Cocoa and make the inside a little "prettier".  Hope you are enjoying the hop!  Don't forget to check out the sales this week at PGP.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my "treat" is Wrapped Packages.  Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
