Stampin’ Up Demos in Central Iowa Christmas Party

Thursday evening I was blessed to host the Central Iowa Stampin’ Up! demos for our annual Christmas dinner and party.

Marcelyn Churchill, my sweet friend and team mate made Triangle Boxes which we filled with Steve’s fudge for a table gift.

Everyone made an ornament from the Be Merry Kit as a make and take. The ornaments were much bigger and cuter than they looked in the catalog. If you haven’t bought a kit yet, you should. You do need a hot glue gun to put them together.

Marcelyn also made these tea light Poinsettias in mini coffee cups.

Marcelyn made five strings of Paper Lights Garland. The colors are Tempting Turquoise, Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy and Real Red and Smoky Slate. The ribbon is the Quilted Christmas 1/4″ Ribbon from the Holiday catalog. Yes, Marcelyn was a busy elf. Not sure what I would do without her!

We also had a gift exchange. Everyone made beautiful gifts using current Stampin Up products and wrapped the gifts with Stampin Up products.

I made the Christmas Sampler for the gift exchange and also Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew December design challenge.

Young Living Essential Oils gift box

I’ve been busy traveling. Salt Lake City for five days for OnStage then, home a couple days and off to Naples, FL for a convention with Steve. I told Steve I didn’t have time to go with him, but I’m so glad I went. We had three days to walk along the beach and get some sun. Total rest and relaxation. We also found an awesome Italian restaurant called Cafe Milano. Don’t laugh, but we picked it because everything was half price from 3-5pm each day. We liked it so much we went back the next day. 🙂

Part of the reason Steve wanted me to go to Florida is that sometimes I have suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Things I try to do daily to lessen this are pray, read the Bible, exercise, eat healthy, spend time in the sunshine, spend time doing something I enjoy- stamping!, spend time with my family and friends. Two years ago I found something else that helps me. Young Living Essential Oils. My favorite oil blend is called Joy. I mix it with water and spray it on like perfume. I also put Lemon and other citrus fruit essential oils in my water. It tastes great and helps me feel good.

Some of my friends that stamp with me have noticed I usually have oils diffusing in my Stamping Studio and they enjoy them as well.

Can you guess what’s in this cute little box made with the Delightful Daisy DSP and the Bow Builder Punch?

Yep, it’s a bottle of Peace and Calming essential oil. Allison comes over frequently and helps me with stamping projects and running things through the Big Shot. She also takes care of Maya and Molly (my sweet therapy pups) when we are gone. Allison prefers to get paid in stamping supplies or essential oils. Cedarwood is my favorite oil to diffuse while I sleep. Allison’s favorite sleeping oil is Peace & Calming.

Allison was happy with her cute box and favorite oil.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you are in the U.S. I’m hosting and am almost ready. Steve has the fudge made and the fudge boxes are ready to go. Yes, the turkey, ham, potatoes, corn, pies, etc. are also ready. 🙂
