Stamp With Peggy

I had a few days away from my office and stamping.

We spent the weekend watching our oldest two grandsons and doing a little Christmas preparations.  We spent part of Saturday working on a Christmas project and then took them to do a little Christmas shopping.  I was reminded of when our kids were small and we took them shopping to see the things they liked.  What a great way to get ideas for them.  The boys are 10 and 11, so I asked them what was “in” with kids now.  I told them that I needed to buy a gift for a family at our school — what would they recommend and why.  It was so much fun to follow them around the store and see what they liked.  We came home and watched a couple of Christmas shows, Sunday we made some sugar scrubs, fudge and puppy chow.  It was a great weekend together.

My daughter, Katie, and son-in-law came and the guys hung out watching football while Katie and I went to a cookie decorating class.  Such a fun time together and our cookies didn’t turn out too bad for the first time.

Now I’m on to finishing up some other Christmas presents.  I hope to make some more cookies so I can practice some.

I have some more projects from my Santa’s Workshop to share with you yet.

I loved this project — it was cased from one I saw on Pinterest.  Santa’s Suit is double sided so it holds 4 Hershey’s Nuggets.  The Black Foil Sheet from the Holiday Catalog worked perfect for Santa’s Belt.  For the fur trim and Santa’s beard I used the White Velvet paper that was available last month in the Snowflake Showcase.  Such a fun project.
