Hi all! I got busy addressing Christmas cards and forgot to get this post out to you! How’s everything going? Presents bought? Wrapped? Cards made and sent?

     Here is what I’ve been up to. My fitness center had a gift exchange last night after zumba. We went to Izzo’s and had margaritas and mexican food and had fun learning names and what some of the members do! So thanks “Zumba Tracey” for getting it together!

   

     Here are some bags I made using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. Aren’t they darling? I used our new Tear and Tap Adhesive for the first time and I LOVE IT! Much easier to work with than the sticky strip (red line) adhesive.

A belly band and a little washi tape and done!!!
   

     And here was the second card we made at hostess club. It was made with new items from the new Occasions Catalog!!!
