christmas tea!

SO laura's mom is a part of a women's group at church, and they have a 'christmas tea" every year. everyone volunteers to take a table and decorate it, and this year she is letting laura, me, chloe, and kayci be in charge of her table! which is so fun, but kinda tricky on a college-student's budget! but as you can see here, we got all of our stuff from "dollar tree" in newton! score!! the see-through plates are susan's, but we did everything else for like, 15 dollars! it was so fun!

we also got to attend the christmas tea, but we sat at someone else's table...it was so fun to see the different decor!

christmas card time!

its christmas card time, yahoo!

i had a coulple of friends over yesterday to have a christmas-card-making party in my room! i looove crafting with other people because i loooove to see what everyone else comes up with! its also fun to be able to share supplies like stamps and inkpads. kayci's mom sent out her embosser tool and powder and we had a fun time trying that out!

i think those last two pictures are some of laura's cards...arent they fabulous?! i love christmas tree one!!
