Christmas Collection

Hi blog readers and fellow stampers!

I bet you're wondering what I've been up to! My man was in the NYC Half Marathon on Sunday so I spent Saturday and Sunday in the city. Boy was it hot and humid! I really don't know how all those people ran in that weather, I certainly give them a lot of credit.

Here is Steve and his friend Mike at mile one of the race, don't they look happy? I should add that I looked more disheveled than they did at this point. (Humidity and Raissa do not mix!) You see I saw them off at 90th street and decided I needed some exercise, so I walked to the first mile marker, which was between 66th and 68th streets. After I saw the guys on their second lap for mile 7 I headed to 59th street and up some blocks in search of the 4 & 5 trains to take me down to the finish line at Rector Street near Battery Park. Steve actually beat me there! Okay enough of my adventures this weekend. I have some more projects to post for you!

Here are two cute projects that we made at convention, both items are featured in the "Christmas Collection" of the Idea Book & Catalog on page 28.

How about dressing up some gifts this year? This is another new edition to our Christmas Collection, a treat box. It is already pre-scored. All you need to do is accessorize it! I used the same Sweet Season stamp to make a tag for this box.
