Holiday Mini
A Little Merry
One of my favorite things to make around the Holidays is gift holders. I realize I could save myself a lot of time and buy gift bags and boxes at the store, but where is the fun in doing that? My favorite gift holder from the Catalog is our Mini Pizza boxes. These boxes can fit so many different small gifts, like gift cards, jewelry, chocolate, or cash. To decorate these boxes, I make a "belly band". The belly band wraps around the center of … [Read more...] about A Little Merry
A Well-Dressed Deer
Well, that's it. School started months ago, Halloween is a distant memory, and Thanksgiving has come and gone in a blur. And now we come to my favorite Holiday...Christmas! I love Holiday decorations. Lots of them. I am definitely in the "more is more" category when it comes to decorating. Our Christmas wonderland starts with the cozy sledding scene on the porch complete with blankets, cocoa mugs and sleds. Some years, I even have a giant … [Read more...] about A Well-Dressed Deer

Candy Cane Season
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. These are always a ton of fun and lots of laughs. Last night was especially great because we got to share the new info and products we received at OnStage last week with those ladies that were unable to attend. I’ll be sharing my OnStage recap just as soon as I can get my photos downloaded and ready to go – hopefully next week. I’m still playing catch-up in the Craft Studio, so my swap for this … [Read more...] about Candy Cane Season
I Survived OnStage
I flew home from OnStage yesterday very, very, very early. If you've never flown out of Orlando, then you have not experienced one of the most busiest airports in the world. Any transport service you use to get to the airport recommends a pick-up at least three hours prior to flight time to give sufficient time for check-in and security. My flight left at 7:00 am EST, which is 4:00 am PST (my time zone). So pick-up was at 4:00 am EST. I'll let … [Read more...] about I Survived OnStage
Blending Your Blends
For the last couple of OnStage events, I’ve taken small boxes of treats to share with other Demonstrators. I give these to old friends and new friends I’ve made this trip. They aren’t meant to be a swap that I’m trading to get something in return. Instead, these are given to lots of different people, to Stampin Up employees that may have helped me with something or people who were just extra nice. The boxes are our Pizza boxes and these are a … [Read more...] about Blending Your Blends
