Merry Christmas to all!

Wow, it only seems like yesterday I made my last post but somehow a month has past. I knew I'd been super busy but this really proved it. If you're anything like me you've had party upon party to attend, last minute presents to buy or make & a parade of relatives and friends over for pre-Christmas visits. With my workshops now on holidays until 2015 I was hoping that I might finally get a chance to catch up on my own photo albums. This hasn't happened yet but it will. A few days now until the big red fellow pops down the chimney and I'm onto the last of my Christmas preparations. Presents to wrap and last minute food shopping left. So I'd like to share a few party photos with you and a special project (that can be used at any time of year) that I created for a Secret Santa thanks to an idea I saw on Pinterest.
Firstly the project. Not sure what the true name is but I call it a 3 tier box. I filled mine with Chocolates but the possibilities are numerous as to other fun gifts you can hide inside. The size of the box can easily be varied to what you need by changing the height and width of the inside boxes. Just remember to make the outside slightly larger than the inside so that you can create a neat close and a 1/16inch gap between the boxes so that they swing open easily. (Trust me I made that mistake the first time). So here it is my Christmas Tree 3 tier box filled with chocolates. If you would like instructions for this project, please leave a comment with contact email below and I will forward them onto you.

 

 

I had so much fun making this and sharing with other CTMH Consultants at our recent Christmas Party and awards luncheon. I was privileged to be specially invited to the Luncheon for the top sales and recruiting achievers for the last 3 months. We were joined by CTMH Australasian General Manager Brian O'Callaghan and ladies from NSW & ACT. It was lovely to share our stories and learn from each other.

Finally a special group photo from my final workshop for 2014. We shared an enjoyable afternoon of friendship, crafting and afternoon tea. I am grateful for these ladies who inspire me with their willingness to learn and encourage me at every workshop.



Well I think there is only one thing left to say and that is to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with health, happiness and fresh inspiration for your craft.

A Blessed Christmas to you.

 

Happy Papercrafting.
