Team Christmas Breakfast 2011

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I’ve been quiet the last week or so because I have been heads down preparing trainings and gifts for my team for yesterday’s breakfast.

Being a seamstress for many many years, I wanted to utilize those skills this year now that Stampin’ Up! offers fabric AND die cuts!  I had some ideas in my head of what to make for my lovely ladies, and started with making hanging craft bags:

AFter making 26 of these . . . .we decided to do the remaining gifts something else!!  So we started making stockings!

We made up a selection and my friend Janine had the great idea of putting them on this trolley:

Excuse the very very messy craft room . . . the entire house looks something like that at the moment.  I’ll have to do a serious shovel out again this year.

Many many thanks to Janine Pearce and my daughter, Madeleine, for helping me get this project done in time.

Sofie and cat Custard later played the rest of the day with the trolley – they were playing shopkeeper and bus driver.

Another aspect to our party was my official invitation to Rob on the Incentive Trip next year to Broome!!  We had lots of fun on the team forum coming up with fun ideas for inviting him.  In the end Madeleine set up a treasure hunt around the house, ending with a card inviting him.

He said yes.
