150 Purses for the Debutant

Yes, you read that right! I made 150 purses for my friend's daughter who turned 18 this month. I flew to Chicago and had with me all 150 purses I've made for the past 2 months. I couldn't believe my eyes when they were all done. It looked like a sea of purses...hehe. In the purses, I enclosed handmade Program and the list of the Cotillion Court, 18 candles and 18 roses presenters.

Anyway, I was in awe when it came out so elegantly displayed on the center of the table. Everybody loved it!

Relax and Craft Workshop

First of all, I would like to thank my friend, Natalie, for hosting this relaxing and fun-filled workshop in her lovely home! She graced us with her sumptuous appetizers in her warm and cozy kitchen.

She got rewarded with a FREE Stamp Set and a FREE Level 1 Stamp Set- "God's Beauty" (We were $53 shy of the next level), but I know she'll have more rewards to come :)

Candy Purses

Hi, Stampers! I just wanted to share some of the gifts we gave away to our friends when we met up with them last week. This is part#2 gift for them. My sister, Marge, brought homemade candies and we decided to make a pretty packaging for them. My sister's take on the purse was to put the ribbon handle on the side of the purse as a risklette! Isn't it neat! It turned out so sassy and fabulous! The girls loved them.
