Chrissi B! Christmas crafts with friends ..


Chatting with a friend the other morning, and she was telling me how much fun she had spending some time with her sisters. They had spent the day making Christmas gifts. What fun! These women are a very savvy bunch of ladies. Each made their lists, shopped for special items and made space and time to gather twice a month until the gifties are made. I love this idea.

Each sister brought her collection of papers, stamps, ribbons, embellishments and whatever else she wanted to "bring to the table". The creativity flowed, as did the wine and gifts were made amid laughter. This afternoon's treasures included picture frames, cards, small scrapbooks and recipe journals. Love it.

Perhaps you are a crafty Miss, who enjoys some crafty friendships? What a great excuse to get together with a few favorite friends and enjoy the best of the season ...Inspiration! Imagination! Celebration!

Maybe you are not the crafty sort but would like to make a few holiday gifites? I love the
Paper Source. Paper Source is a wonder for stamps, books, ribbons and so much more. I adore this place and with locations around the country they may be just the shop for you.....Not your usual crafty store ....Much more!

Visit your local craft, knitting, stamp, or paper shop, most offer instruction and classes. Many offer a workspace for creating. You can sit and work on your projects with others who are trying to create and learn. A nice way to send an afternoon and make a friend.

The holidays are quickly approaching, consider making a few chosen gifts to spread the cheer this Christmas season ...Gather some friends and make some cookies! Create some cards or paint a picture frame ....enjoy!
