We enJOY our crafters!

December marks our 1st anniversary as "SOTSS Crafts!"  Just last December, eight of us were huddled in my small dining/craft room creating Christmas themed deco mesh wreaths. Krysten and I had no idea where our crafting business would take us, but we knew that we had supportive families and amazing friends to encourage us along the way.  As a special thank you, Krysten and I planned just the craft party to show our appreciation.

Our menu included a knockoff of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup, ham biscuits, French Quarter cheese spread, brownies, and carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!  DELICIOUS!!!!

After our appetites were satisfied, the crafting began.  Each person received the letters J-O-Y.  They could use any and all combinations of paint, Mod Podge, scrapbooking paper, fabric, ribbon, twine, bells, and GLITTER - It isn't a craft party without GLITTER! 

As always, there were tons of laughs!  Kristen gave us a good laugh with her Christmas sweater...

 ...and Brie and Lindsay with their strategizing....

 ...what about Jessica's sparkle...

Can you see it....can you see it?  

There was some seriousness happening too!  Look at how magnificent these turned out:

Ladies, from the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate your friendship, support, and encouragement as we follow our dreams in growing SOTSS Crafts into a business that will reach many ladies and inspire them to find their inner craftiness!  Thank you for filling this year full of laughter and SPARKLE!  We are looking forward to crafting with you again soon.

BTW...Brie thinks we should make garters at the next craft party!
