Lunchbox look - Dec. 1 - 5, 2014 - Twelve Days of Christmas week 1

This is my third year of counting down the last 12 school days before winter break with a 12 days of Christmas theme. It is the first year that I realized (too late to do anything about it) that I probably should start at 12 lords a leaping and progress backwards from there.




Sweet pea! Before we start with the 12 days, we've got two other days to take care of. This theme was easy to put together from dinner leftovers and a few fun accessories from my collection. There's a lot of food variety in here! Hawaiian sweet roll with cheese topper, plus salami, leftover peas in a silicone, grapes, clementine, carrots, cheese chunk and a treat in the Lego container. The little man holding the cheese is actually from a wine glass marker set.




Hearts! One lunch accessory I haven't pulled out in a while in my heart-shaped mini sandwich sealer. It makes four hearts and a square, and seals everything nicely if you have soft bread. After that, I quickly threw in more boring winter produce - grape tomatoes, carrots and celery, clementine plus salami slices.








































Partridge in a pear tree! One of these days I'm going to look up what this bird actually looks like. In the mean time, I freehanded a bird out of fruit leather and stuck it on a carved pear (dipped in lemon water to stop the browning). There's a lot going on here - Triscuits, clementine, salami, cheese cubes, kiwi, dried cherries and a peppermint JoeJoe.



Two turtle doves! I love how this turned out! That's a doubled-over piece of washi tape between the doves. They are resting on two Hawaiian sweet rolls plus there's a leftover turkey burger, tomatoes, carrots, celery and some chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. Next time, I'll be smarter and stack the two pieces of cheese rather than cutting each one individually.




Three French hens! These divided containers make lunch packing really simple. The cheese hen has sprinkle accents plus a flag pick, all on top of a bite size sandwich There's also a clementine, grapes, chocolate coin, steamed broccoli and carrot flowers.


Thanks for stopping by!
