Catch Up Before The Holidays!

Yes....It's December...sadly I have been very slack at updating this blog.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to get onto this...I update Facebook Page almost daily...but not here...but I promise to work on this for 2015!
Now...onto some fun things...

We had our Monthly workshop In September (always the last Sunday of the month) and we had a great time as always! Here's a quick pics :) 

Every Attendee gets treats! 

Chocolate makes you stamp better! Didn't you know that? 

How fun is this kit?!

A Make and Take that spurred some Xmas Creativity! 

Bows made with The Envelope Punch Board! So quick and cute!

October we spent the month packing and moving to Leithfield Beach!  I finally have my own craft room / office...it's small, but it's all mine.  But November brought some Stampin' Up! fun again!!!

I am sure not everything will remain here as it still looks messy to me...and I do have a double closet too...but for now, I can see the floor, find everything, and create! 

Right after we moved, Stampin' Up! held a regional event called Party Time and I was asked to present Project Life by Stampin' Up!....I was so nervous, but I had such a great time.  I will share my Project Life album in a couple weeks as I really want to finish it!  But you can use those beautiful Boxes of cards not only to complete your albums in record time, but also to make cards and other projects...here's what I made with them...VERY QUICK! VERY EASY!

The day was filled with lots of tips, tricks, ideas, sharing, laughing, and our favourite...MAKE AND TAKES!!!!  We made some beautiful things...not usually my style, but it's nice to try new things and play with things you normally wouldn't....hmmmm....or is that just fun for me?!  :)  Trouble!!!

I also had a play with the new products and one was the Fry Box Die and made this for one of my Hostess' at her party :)

 This past weekend we had our final Monthly Workshop of the year...a little Michael Buble, a lot of creating and laughing, a bit of treats and cups of coffee and tea, and lots of fun!

  I made some Peppermint Bark and it is still being talked about! YUM! Easy!  Thanks Pinterest!

 A great sized box thanks once again to Pootles Papercraft UK! She is incredible!

 Some cute 3D gift tags inspired from Meg Loven! We had fun doing all sorts of colours and styles!

We did a classy Black and vanilla card...we all know someone that doesn't do Red and Green...or at least appreciates unique, clean things...It would be easy to add some bling or colour dots if you needed to jazz it up a bit :)

As always attendees get gifts/treats for coming...this was a jar of apricot sugar scrub plus they received a Christmas coffee mug with Peppermint Bark in and a candy cane.

 The highlight of the day, besides the Peppermint Bark, was embossing...well...it was the best thing they have ever learned they said!  Who knew!?  I guess we will be doing more in the new year!!

I wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season.  Making things is a great thing to do with friends and family...especially the kids...they see things differently!  If you'd like me to come hang out and make some things with you, just holler!  If not, I will see you in the new year!  Please LIKE my facebook page and stay up to date on all the happenings!!!  And I promise to be better at blogging :)

I appreciate you!
