It's been a "minute" since I last posted! As many of you already know, I'm in the process of moving in two different phases! The first move is over and now we are waiting to move into our new house. We are moving closer to our daughter, Andrea, our son-in-law, Cullen, and our two precious identical twin grandsons, Faris and Miles! We will be moving the week of December 16...yes, we're moving before Christmas!!
Even though it's been a bit hectic with packing, moving, putting things in storage, and trying to run my Stampin' Up! business, we are very excited to finally be closer to our family and to help with these precious grandbabies. They are celebrating their 1st Birthday on December 11! So exciting!
I did manage to have a Facebook Live in the Hive this week...Wednesday, December 4! This is quite a feat since most of my stamping supplies are in storage!! We created a Book Treat Box using the Naughty & Nice Stamp Set and an assortment of 2024 Christmas designer papers. You'll find a printable tutorial complete with photos, measurements, and a supply list
For your convenience, I've added two additional files...The Elf Movie quote and "Elf Pillows"! Be sure to look right under the video tutorial to download and print!
