Handmade Holidays!!!

I was invited to join my good friend, Sarah Lavin and her business partner Julie in an

amazing event they held at their business in downtown Sioux Falls called

Handmade Holiday at Zing!  I worked for a couple of months making items for

the weekend event so I thought I would share them with you!!!

Above are the pins I made using the Flower Folds Die and Fabric and buttons from Stampin' Up!

Next, I made these Christmas Placemats using our Holly Berry Bouquet Fabric and our

Stockings Die!  The stocking was a pocket to hold your silverware!

Here is a look at part of my display...

I also made some canvas coasters out of our Scallop Square Die and the

Fun Flowers Die...quick and cute gift idea.  The Pumpkins were made out of Dryer Venting

and I painted them and added a stem, leaves, and a raffia bow!  My girls learned how to sew

this past month and made all of the fun pillows!

I used the smaller flower on the Flower Folds Die to make the little flowers on the gloves and sewed them directly to glove using our fun Stampin' Up! buttons!

I also made the aprons from the earlier post for adults and also smaller for children!

It was a fun weekend...thanks Zing! for the opportunity!

Stampin' friends are the best!!!

My amazing Stampin' Up! friend, Michele Pelky,  flew in to Indiana from Temecula, CA

 to spend the week with me!!!

She came on Tuesday, Oct. 24th and we spent the week stamping or "frampin" which means stamping with friends! and she showed me how to make these fun aprons out of large dish towels!

Then we left early that Thursday morning and headed to Louisville, KY to go to a Stampin' Up! Regional event....it is a 3 hour drive from my house but it took us 11 hours as we stopped in all the little towns along the way to go to Antique/Thrift Stores!!! So much fun!!! We stopped in Marion, IN to have lunch with my son Nicholas too!  We had a blast at the regional and learned a ton of new stuff but didn't think to take any pics of ourselves there...duh! But we took a picture of the bridge there and of the beautiful fall colors!

We did some baking and tried to make Verlyn's moms Caramel Rolls from scratch...turned out okay for the first time!  We had so much fun together!  I just love how Stampin' Up! has touched my life by making lifetime friends with people I would have never met!!!  Thanks Michele for a great week!!!
