Here is a photo I took yesterday morning as I was finishing 

setting up for everyone to walk in the door & spend the day stamping with me.

As yesterday was a fun filled day with many friends!

Everyone attending made 17 holiday projects.

Some of the projects were cards!

And some of the projects were decor.

We had an awesome day together! 

Here is all of the bags with their name tag on it.

Here are couple of pictures below of my helpers 

when we were setting up the tables/chairs on Friday afternoon.

Brody, Drake, Trey & Deke were my strong hands.

I'm so thankful that they helped! 

My whole family helps out in many ways throughout the year 

when it comes to my stamping business.

 

I'm so thankful, grateful & blessed to get to share my love of stamping

with so many friends throughout the whole year!
