Well, it was for 12 of us yesterday, as we spent a whole day immersed in red and green for a wonderful day of Christmas Stampin' Up! crafting.Armed with the facts that it's now just 97 days left to Christmas (aghhh!) and the average person sends at about 49 Christmas cards (which is a lot if you make them), it seemed time to start our preparations and we spent the day making a big attack on our Christmas cardmaking.
Everyone received a fantastic kit of Jolly Holiday papers, Contempo Christmas stamps and plenty of card and trims to make all the 12 card 
projects, 3 other Christmas papercraft projects and much more at home.
projects, 3 other Christmas papercraft projects and much more at home. It was a jam-packed day of festive fun too, with 'Christmas' treats for everyone who attended, Christmas decorations around the room, a tasty buffet, cakes and prizes to be won in the scavenger hunt and prize draw.
In fact, those who attended enjoyed themselves so much, they have asked for another Christmas workshop day before the big day, so if you missed this one and would like to join them for the next, please get in touch to find out more!
Here are just a few of the 15 lovely projects that were made on the day.
It's a very exciting time being a Stampin' Up! demo at the moment. September means goodbye to many old favourites as the list of products that will be discontinued is released, in order to make room for all the new goodies being released in the brand new catalogue for 2011-2012. This is the last chance to get a whole range of wonderful goodies including the Designer paper packs, many different stamp sets and even punches, ribbon and embellishments.
