1st Kiwi Stampers Holiday Meeting 2013 -Update

Last night we had our holiday meeting and as always it was so much fun and I laughed so hard I think I was a bit buzzed when I left.  I didn't fall asleep until like 2:30 AM! So many ideas and thoughts...and even some reflection on how much I missed this group of women and how nice it felt that they actually missed me too. :)

Several posts back, I showed you a tease of my "swap" square for last night.  Instead of cards, we each created a 2 in x 2 in square with specific colours etc to be combined into a framed piece of art :)

My Teaser Post can be found HERE
So here is the square that I made:

 

And here are the rest of the swaps from others:

I will pop some of the individual squares below:

 

And just for fun, here are some other goodies and festive pics I took of Amanda Hill's home decorations. It truly was a fantastic evening!!  Wish we met weekly!
