And you bought all gift cards instead of presents. So now you're wondering how to make them look fabulous instead of giving them away in a cheesy plain envelope. I've got just the solution. Grab a stack of our Gold Mini Pizza boxes and get wrapping. These gold boxes are so pretty and they really don't need a lot of decoration. I like to wrap mine with a band of pattern paper. Then all of my decorations get attached to the pattern paper and not … [Read more...] about You waited til the last minute…

Annual Ornament
This past Wednesday was our annual Crumpette Christmas party. More than 20 years ago, we all worked at the same office and became really good friends. Then one by one, each of us left the Company and moved on to other jobs. We missed seeing each other on a regular basis so we started a monthly dinner night. We've been having dinner (almost) every month for close to 20 years now. About nine years ago, I started making ornaments for the … [Read more...] about Annual Ornament
November Customer Thank You’s
When another month comes to a close, that’s the time I work on my customer thank you cards for the previous month. This way, I know exactly how many to make for the previous month. It might seem like it would be easier to make them as I go, but then I’m make 1 or 2 at a time and getting the same supplies out over and over. Sending them out at the beginning of the next month definitely works better for me. And without further ado… here is the … [Read more...] about November Customer Thank You’s
O Christmas Tree
This time of year is super busy for me, getting lots of crafts and cards made, plus getting all the Christmas decor out and decorating a tree. This little elf must get back to work so I'm keeping this post short today. This past Monday I shared a card using some of the new Most Wonderful Time Medley products. I love that this Medley has lots of different choices of products in it but I know that can be a challenge when you're not totally sure … [Read more...] about O Christmas Tree

All Is Quiet on the Snow Front
Winter is coming... I know other parts of the Country are already buried under lots of snow, but here in SoCal, that means the temperature drops below 65' and we'll get a few days of rain. It's expensive to live in Southern California, but that comes with the promise that the only snow we'll see is on the tv. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy a beautiful snowy winter scene and I couldn't resist the stamp set Snow Front. Snow Front is … [Read more...] about All Is Quiet on the Snow Front
Snowman Season
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. I love getting together with these ladies every month. This was a fun meeting because I was able to share all the new goodies from OnStage last weekend. We have so many new products coming in January - it’s always so exciting. Every month when we get together we make cards and trade them. It’s a fun way to get more ideas for projects. And we all enjoy making new things. This month’s swap theme was … [Read more...] about Snowman Season
