Noel also made me a beautiful Christmas ornament. I fear it's a bit large for my tiny tree, so it's going on the wall of cards!
After lunch, we headed over to a stamp store called Impress. WOW is all I have to say. I've been in my fair share of stamp stores, but this one blew my mind. It was really large and had such a variety of products to choose from. It was eye candy at it's best! We browsed around, ooing and awwing over all the stamps and cards they had. The girls and I even had some fun in the store!
After shopping around and spending far too much money, we headed over to the PaperZone which is conviniently located right next door. We picked up a few last minute odds and ends before heading outside to snap some pictures!

If you can believe it, Emma, Noel's youngest, took this photo of us. Way to go, Emma! A little photographer in the making :) Ready to see all the fun stuff I go?! I decided that this trip is Travis' Christmas present to me :) First of all, Noel was able to grab some of the infamous GRUNGEBOARD for me!! Woo-hoo!! I haven't had much time to play with it, but I did take a sheet out of the package, and I like the way it felt. I'm definitely inspired!
At Impress, I grabbed myself some yummy wood-mounted stamps, a bottle of Stickles, a BG 6x6 Mellow paper pad, the COOLEST paper punch ever, some buttons, and some notecards. I'm sure I'm missing something here, but you can take a look for yourself!
I can't wait until I have a little free time to spend creating some fun stuff! I'm still working on a few last minute Christmas projects and filling a small jewelry order, so I'll be busy until the end of the week. Have an awesome Thursday, everyone!!

I just saw the post about this on the MB. Looks like you all had a great time. I hope that I get the chance to meet some MBers IRL someday.

I caved and opened my rail system early. Allen and I installed them last night, and he's already told me to order more! I hope to get some photos of it on my blog today.

Looks like you two had so much fun! Next time I'm on your side of the mountains I'll let you know, we're over that once about once a year visiting my family in Maple Valley and Kent. We were supposed to visit at the end of December, but I *hate* Snoqualmie in the winter, as I'm sure most people in Washington do.
