Tea, snacks and paper galore...we handmade treats for those special people in our hearts.   Everyone brought something to share, making the creative process that much better.

We celebrate summer with all things paper!  This event was held over two days.  Sipping summer spritzers, we created self mailers, masu boxes and mini books.      My niece and helper, Dory The Lee sisters, Jessica and Heather Our youngest crafter, Arianna self mailer masu boxes

We had a Valentine's making party.  Who doesn't love a handmade valentine?  So much cooler than a store bought one.
