Another Talk ....... About My Upcoming November Christmas Retreat?

I hope you get as excited as I do, when it comes to creating Christmas cards.  Put that together with a fun day spent creating with friends (including lunch:) and you've got the perfect retreat.
Here's what it's all about.
- You'll make 18 cards.
- You'll make 3 each of 6 designs --- all Christmas.
- You can relax, because I'll show you how you can get it all finished.
- You'll enjoy a light lunch with us.
- You'll receive a few fun gifts, along with a Christmas tote to carry home all your cards.

Sound like fun?  How about a little sneak peek?

The first card features 2 Glimmer Paper snowflakes, along with a large, embossed snowflake that is just gorgeous.  The second and third cards also feature an embossed layer, along with some of our adorable Stitched Felt pieces.  These are so cute!!!
Come back soon and maybe, just maybe I'll give you a sneak peek at the other 3 card designs.

Another Beautiful Box From Our Window Box Thinlits

I have another cute little box for you today, but first I'd like to say a big thank you to those who came to my party yesterday and to my daughter, Jennifer for helping.  I think we'd all agree that we had a lot of fun.  OK, here's today's cute little box:

Isn't this cute?  I used our Rose Garden thinlits for the leaves.

I added a little ribbon pull to make it easy to open.  Notice the cute little details on each of the sides -- a stitched square layered over a scalloped edge square -- the details really make it special.

Isn't this cute?  I just love it.

What kinds of things could fit in here to give someone special a little surprise?

Window Box Thinlits Make Beautiful Boxes

I have become a big fan of our Window Box Thinlits.  I sometimes run hot and cold on making boxes and such, but lately, I've wanted to make a lot of them.  I realize now that they are quite simple to make (whether you're using a thinlit or just simple scoring) and you can enjoy using your creativity to make each one unique.  I made this window box to go with a display of our Eastern Palace Suite.  I was amazed at how easy it was to create this.

There's enough room in these boxes to hold all kinds of presents or goodies.

Would you like to create something special to use in your gift giving?  Give these boxes a try!

Coming up, I have several boxes I've made for Christmas.  Be sure to come back for those.  I'm off to put the final touches on my party.

If you live in the area, please RSVP that you're coming to the Open House/Christmas Party.  You'll have a ton of fun!!!

If you cannot attend the party, but would like to place an order to qualify for my special 'perks' you can do so, through my website, online.  Use this Hostess Code and you will be included in our order.  Your own order will be sent separate - directly to you!
