Christmas Among the Branches ~ from Stampin’ Up!

This stamp set did not really appeal for me until I saw it when I was at the Stampin’ Up Inspire, Create, Share event in Salt Lake City back in July.

Last week I shared some of the preparation and projects for the Stampin’ Getaway I hosted on October 3rd.  We had a great location – in the Community Room of one of the Fire Station’s in McKinney – we had lots of space to spread out, little kitchen area for lunch and snacks and with the exception of the monthly testing of the fire sirens – it was very quiet!

Anyway, I want to share some of the experience with you…………..
