Annual craft day

Last year, Libby and I started a new tradition - an annual crafting day on the Friday after Thanksgiving.  We thought it would be a great way to spend time with friends and family and get started on some Christmas projects...AND avoid that crazy shopping called Black Friday!!

This year I decided that we would make some stackable gift boxes.  I downloaded the pattern from Northern Girl Stamper. The pattern is from her 20 Days of Christmas Gift Giving Book.  There are some great projects in this and I will be making many more of them.

Libby and I invited several friends and family and had a great day!!!

Here's Jessica searching for just the right bling for her box!!

Libby looks deep in thought about where she is going to put the tape!

Jessica's Nana, Jackie, my Mom and Jessica's sister, Jenna all look very serious about their crafts!

Jessica's Mom, Kim making sure she gets the direction right before cutting.

The Tiffany table - friend Tiffany and cousin Tiffany!!

Everyone was hard at work creating some beautiful boxes and here is what they came up with...

Mom is going to fill her boxes with waffle cookies - Can't wait!!! I think we need a bigger box though!

Jenna made these beautiful snowflake boxes that everyone loved!

Kim made a great set with red and black and snowflakes - beautiful - my favorite colors!!

Tiffany made personalized boxes for gifts - love 'em.  I am going to copy this idea for the great nieces and nephews!!

My beautiful daughter in law with her set including swirls and bling!! Did you notice the chocolate bar on top???

Nana made a great set in black, white, and red and a little bling!!

Libby with just one of the cute sets she made. Shhh, the others are a secret!!

Both Tiffany's showing off cousin Tiffany's finished set.  This was a group effort because baby Emmalyn wanted some attention too!!

We had such a wonderful time and look forward to next year when we can get friends and family together again!!!!  Here are all the boxes.....
