Christmas Party!!!!

Our first Christmas party was just a BLAST! We had wonderful food, fabulous friends and stamping!!!!!

Our game of Stamptionary was so fun!!! Just like Pictionary only with Stampin' Up! products as the theme!

Doris proved to be a GREAT artist - that looks like the Baroque Motifs stamp set - right? Her team guessed it right away!

Here's Patty reviewing the stamp set she has to draw...

All eyes on the board....Jean (my stampin' elf), Laura, Linda & Peggy. Here I am in the background eating AGAIN!!! I love party food!



Sorry Kathy - I love this picture! Her team was getting really close to the answer - the anticipation on her face tells it all!!!! I love her drawing of the Powder Pal too - if only her team knew the correct name!!! LOL!

Victory for Rachael, Patty, Cathy & Donna!

Cathy was a hit with "Just Buzzin By" too - GREAT beehive!

Peggy did a GREAT job drawing the "Circle Circus" stamp set too!

STAMPO!!!! Everyone knows how to play now...same as Bunco - but with a Stampin' Up! name.

Here's Heather, Doris, Me, Peggy & Donna....

Here's Peggy & Shelley concentrating on "Guess that Product" game.

Patty - are you looking at Rachael's answers??? LOL!

The Gift Exchange was outstanding!!!! So many creative ideas - I love stuff like this!!!!

I got this wonderful card tote full of cards!!!!

Such creative packaging by Jean!

Linda was soooooo thrilled with her exchange gift!!!

She could hardly "contain" herself!!!

Here's a close up....Donna really out did herself on this one!

Kristi enjoyed an adorable altered tin and lots of candy bars wrapped in our NEW Sale-A-Bration DSP!!!

The Make-N-Takes were a hit too - some great samples for the upcoming Mini Catalog season!!!!

Jean is my "rubber elf" - she helps me with my big event swaps!!!! I got a big hug for the "thank you" gift I gave her....

....a stamp set that she really NEEDED!!!!

And a special thanks to Becky - my sister - for all these wonderful photos!!!! Here she is with her "thank you" gift!

A big "thank you" to everyone that could make it - you all made the day so much fun!!!! A HUGE THANK YOU to Linda - without your suggestion - this party wouldn't have happened!!!! I had a blast with every single aspect of preparation....and soooooooo needed this fun break in the otherwise hectic holiday season - THANKS LINDA!!!!

I think we'll make this an annual event!
