Holiday Ideas!

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a good weekend!  I was able to really relax today and spend the entire day with my daughter.  We had lunch, went clothes shopping, and then to the movies.  I've been so busy lately with the stamping retreat and then the annual calendar class this weekend - I just wanted to give her my undivided attention for an entire day.  We had a great time - and she came home with some new cool boots and a few outfits - so she is thrilled and we have a few more memories to keep forever!

To begin your week - I just want to share two more retreat projects with you.  The first is a flip album that the retreat guests had the pleasure of making.  Mandy Gaa designed the book and shared it with all of us.  She did a great job!  It is made with 1/2 of a simply scrappin' kit - Summer Home.  So buy one kit - make two albums!

The second is a very simple stocking stuffer gift that we made.  It is a hot cocoa holder and the topper is created with the Top Note die and the Big Shot.  I got the idea from Kimberly VanDiepen, changed a few elements, and it is so adorable - and such a sweet gift for teachers, secret pals, & co-workers etc.

There were 20+ projects that the ladies made at the retreat!  The ones I've shown this week are only a few.  Watch this week for dates of the Spring retreat so you can mark your calendars.

I hope you've enjoyed some of the retreat projects I've shown over the last week.  I'll be back this week with some other creations.
