Day 2 Drawing
Does one of these slips of paper have your name on it???
As I write this post, there is still an hour left to add more names.
I'll draw the Day 2 winner when I get up.
All you have to do is leave a comment — I will draw one name each day
through Christmas Day.

Day 3 — Do you like Christmas shopping?
I love to do gifts for people.  I give a lot of hand made items.
I don't like to shop for gifts when I don't know what to get.
I love to give little gifts to lots of people so they know I care.

Last night was my StampBees Team Christmas Party.
We each made a Christmas gift and played a game and everyone
ended up with a hand made gift.
Here is the gift I made.
Cocoa Gift Box
It's a box I made and filled with lots of yummy hot cocoa treats.
Cocoa Gift Box Wrapped
And it looks even more special when put in a clear bag and tied with a pretty bow.
My inspiration came from Stampin' Up! blog — Artisan Team Member, Valerie Moody.
I love the box filled with yummy treats and had to try one of my very own.
I think Helen really liked this gift.

Come back tomorrow and I'll share what all is inside.

Sneak Peek — Watercolor Pencils

Twelve Days of Christmas
Day #2
What kind of Christmas cookies do you bake?

Leave a comment to get your name in the drawing
for a little gift.

As the holidays getting closer and closer so does the release
of the Occasions Catalog and the start of Sale-a-Bration.
It all begins January 4th.

Today I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of one of
my favorite new tools.
The biggest fad around right now is adult coloring books. 
Everyone I know is getting into it.
The coloring books put me over the edge.
Too many decisions to make — what color goes where.
BUT I do love to do some water coloring when I'm making cards.
Stampin' Up! is coming out with our very own Watercolor Pencils.
These new pencils will match all your other Stampin' Up! papers, stamp pads, trims, etc.

I am SO EXCITED for you to play with this fun new product.
Check out the video from Stampin' Up! showing you some of the fun things you can do with them.

We can't order these until January 4th but I wanted you to be prepared.
Have Santa contact me today for a gift card to tuck into your stocking.
Then you can order them
right after Christmas is all cleaned up and put away.

Christmas is approaching very quickly.
Only 12 days until Christmas Day.
I'm going to celebrate with all of you.

you have a chance to win a prize,
but you have to leave a comment to get your
name in the drawing.  Who's ready to play????

What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Post a comment — you could be the winner.

I promised I would post directions for the
Chapstick Box I posted last week.

Here you go:
Chapstick Box logo
I used Emerald Envy cardstock and
Presents & Pinecones designer paper
Box
Cardstock — 4 3/4" x 7"
Score 1" & 3 3/4" down long side
Score 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2" & 3 1/2"
Score at 4 1/2" only to the 1" score lines as shown
Box 1
Cut off 2 1/2" each section on both sides
Snip tabs up to 1" score line — I like to cut the
small tabs at a little angle to lose some bulk
Trim the 1/2" piece at angle — this gets tucked
into the top to close box
Box 2
Using the Lots of Labels Framelits
trim the top edge of the box as shown
Box 3

Box 4
Cut the designer paper with the next
smaller label framelit and attach to box
Box 5
Top designer piece — 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Attach to box top and use Paper Piercing Tool
to poke a hole.  I used Red Baker's Twine
threaded through a Red Mini Jingle Bell
and then threaded through the hole
and tie several times on the inside.
Trim the top 1" tabs to about 1/2" and
cut at angles.
Box 6
Assemble box with Fast Fuse or
Tear & Tape (snail will not hold this box).
Box 7
Continue assembling the box.
DON'T put adhesive on the 1/2" flaps.
These tuck into the box to close the
chapstick inside.
Box 8
Designer Paper — 7/8" x 7/8" — 2 pieces
attach over these end flaps
Put chapstick in box and close.
You are ready for gifting this pretty present.
