Santa’s Workshop Begins

Every year I hold a Santa’s Workshop
or Christmas Buffet.
This is a class where you get to choose which
items you want to make and how many of
each item.  They are usually small gift type projects.
Things that are inexpensive but wonderful
gifts to give to co-workers, teachers, mail person, etc.

Here is one of the items that people can choose
this year.
Chapstick Box logo
It’s an adorable little box that has a chapstick inside.
Just fill in the to:
and “from” could be Your Secret Santa!!!
How fun is that.

It is pretty quick & easy to make.
Leave me a comment if you would like the directions.

Candy Cane Lamp Post

I pulled out a stamp set I hadn’t used yet.
Christmas Magic stamp set is an amazing set.
I flew past it in the catalog many times
and finally I had to order it.

It gives you a very vintage look.
I paired it with the diagonal stripe Seasonal Masks
for a candy cane look.

Merry Medley meets Paisleys

For today’s card I used the Merry Medley stamp set.
I bought two of the Merry Medley stamp set — one I use
as is but the other one — look out.
I cut it all apart so I had individual words and
phrases.  This gives you LOTS of stamps for your money.
