Merry Christmas! Joy Decor Blocks!
I made these Joy Decor Blocks for myself to go with my Noel wall hanging that I made last month. Click Mele Kalikimaka to hear one of my favorite Christmas songs. Click your back button after you listen to the song. To all of you out there with tons of snow, I wish we had some here. Hope you all stay warm and safe!
Here is the front view of the blocks.
And the back view. I also decorated the side with snowflakes.

My girl friend Michelle, who is oh so talented, decorated this cute little Christmas Tree for me! She must really love me as you can see all the beautiful rhinestone brads, build-a-brads, etc. that she used to decorate the tree for me!! I love too that she used non-traditional Christmas colors. Thanks again Michelle!!
Kids’ Holiday Craft Project!
I think I mentioned before that I was going to go in to the school and do a holiday craft project with Craig and Jacie's classes. I did that this week. Here are a couple pictures of the kids making their crafts and then a couple of what they made.

I went to Craig's class first. The kids were so good! Everyone brought in a picture and we made a little Christmas card for them to give to their parents. They then all wrote a Christmas note and drew pictures inside!
Here are pictures of Craig and some of his classmates, and Craig and his teacher!
Everyone did a great job and it was so fun going in and sharing my love of crafting with them!
Here is my little Jacie working on her card. Even the younger kids did a great job and had fun!
Jacie and her teacher and with me. I bet you can guess what Jacie wants for Christmas!
All I want for Christmas is my _____ ________ __________!!
So cute!
And they all wanted to do a picture with "silly faces".

Pacific Stampers’ Group Holiday Potluck!
Our group usually meets the first Friday of every month, but every December, in lieu of our meeting we have a holiday potluck! We eat, drink, be merry, play games, and stamp a little! Here are some pictures from our party! Enjoy!
Some of the gals made favors for everyone!
Brenda's favor!
Jane's favor!
Krista's favor!
Michelle U's favor! (And she didn't even get to come to the party!)
We also did a grab bag. Here are some of the grab bag gifts. I didn't get a chance to take a
picture of all of them, but they were all fabulous!!
Grab bag gift made by Krista. This little treasure trove is made from rectangular
coasters and was full of Stampin' Up! goodies!
This grab bag was made by Michelle P. The bag (upper right) had cards and this
little mini scrapbook in it! So darling!
This grab bag was made by Naoko! So beautiful and creative!
This grab bag was made by Stephanie! This is a magnetic board that you can hang by the
ribbon with calendar and magnets! Too cute!
And we played some games!
Drawing the Delightful Decorations stamp set on their heads!
And unwrapping a gift with many of layers of gift wrap, with oven mitts on their hands!
Music played for 15 seconds and when the music stopped the person had to pass the gift to the next person.
The person holding the gift when the last layer of wrapping paper came off, got to keep the gift.
We also had tons of food, and stamped a little tag, laughed and just had a wonderful time!
I have such a great group and I am very thankful for all that they bring to my life!
