I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
I have started the round the world in 5 days travel for all of our family Christmas celebrations.
This is my mother and father-in-laws Christmas tree with only a few presents under it.

My youngest grandchildren had a tough time falling asleep with all the excitement of Santa coming tonight. I can't wait to see their faces in the morning.
I hope you all have a great day with your family and friends.
Snowflake Ornament
Early this month my sister, Tina, and I had a Team Christmas Party. Everyone made a gift our of Stampin' Up! supplies. They were told to wrap the present but not put a name on the gift. We played a little game and stole gifts from each other. Everyone went home with one of the fabulous gifts.

This is a picture of everyone that attended. Unfortunately December is a busy month so some of the ladies couldn't make it but those that came had a great time.
Here's the gift that I received. Jenn made this beauty. I love the details that she put in to it.

I have it sitting where everyone can see it — Thanks Jenn — great job.
Desk Calendar
Here is the final project from my Christmas Buffet — a Desk Calendar. Who wouldn't love to have this to look at everyday.

The base of the calendar is one piece of Black Cardstock — 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2" and then a second piece that is 4 1/4" x 5" score at 1", 2 1/2", 4" (this second piece is adhered to the inside of the first cardstock to help it stand up steady). The designer paper is 4" x 5 1/4". I used a different pattern of designer paper and the Oval Accent Die to cut the scallop edge at the bottom.
I hope you enjoyed these gift items as much as I did creating them.
