Open House Success

Last night was a lot of fun! I opened my house up to about 30 guests as they shopped for homemade Christmas gifts. I really enjoyed preparing my house for the party. I think I needed the motivation from the party to do a few small projects I was putting off that finally got done. I am also all set for Christmas decorating, minus the ornaments on the tree. That is somewhat of a relief and makes me more excited for this busy part of the year somehow. The girls that sold their products here, are AMAZINGLY GIFTED. They can sew, paint, decorate, make earnings, makeup, knit, and just about anything else you can think of. They were very generous and gave me a portion of their sales towards my missions trip too, which was an enormous blessing. They also donated 2 baskets of goodies for a raffle for my trip. I managed to get a few pictures of the items they were selling...like I said, they are amazing....you can still purchase anything you see in the photo you like...they make great gifts too...
