Thankful box

Hi and welcome to my blog today!  I hope you are having a great week! I wanted to share a quick little gift that I made with the pizza box and the gather together stamp set.  This time of year I like to have gifts made so that when I need a quick gift I have them all ready to go.  These little pizza boxes are great for small candles, candy and individual packets of flavored tea.  (and who wouldn't want to get any of those)  

The entire gather together suite is so easy to use. I love the colors that the designer series paper is created with and the patterns are all so fun! I used the stitched label die for the base of the pumpkins, this die really makes a great base for any image. It is a go to for me when I want to add a little bit of stitching and interest to the background. I also like the way that it cuts out parts as well as adds stitching to the design. What is your go to for quick easy interest to a card? I hope this box gives you some inspiration to create a few gifts to have on hand for giving this Thanksgiving season! Thank you for visiting me and have a thankful day!

I have the best stamp club!

My stamp club ladies are the best and I love to make cute little gifts for them! I couldn't resist these adorable little clear boxes filled with candy! These little boxes are a great deal only $7.50 for 16 boxes! The sentiment in the gather together stamp set was just perfect for the way I feel about my friends! I am so glad they are all in my life! Many of them have been with me since my beginning as a stamp demonstrator. They have encouraged and been not only my customers for over 20 years but my best friends. We have all seen each others children grow up, get married and now even some having their own children. Along with those wonderful times we have also gone through some tragic as well. Watching several of our members struggle with cancer and unfortunately one of the members passing away. And most recently one of our members losing her 25 year old daughter! Through it all, our group continues to have sympathy, support, love and care for each other. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends! Each one of them holds a special place in my heart and I pray for them all daily!

As you can tell I have great love for each of them! I know they have all the stamps, paper and accessories they need but they continue to come for the friendships we have all created! The best part is the age range is from 93- 25. What a diverse group of ladies. Each bringing a little something to our group!

I would love to give them all so much more than a little box of candy for all they have given me the last 20 years! I hope they all know I value their friendship and love them all dearly! Thank you for all of you who have given of yourselves to our group. I am feeling so grateful for them!
