See Through Treat Box

One of the great things I love about being a demonstrator is getting together as a group & sharing.

Debbie Airey was "IT" at our latest team get together, her timing was impeccable as she had played with Beate John's idea & came up with something that show cased 2 of the products on special this month (Crazy For Christmas & the 5/8" Certainly celery ribbon) plus it used the newly released scallop edge punch - yah no more slit punch or the corner rounder. I had an open home/mini catalogue/thank you gift session for my customers on the following day, so after seeing this threw out what I was doing for another time. I just loved Debbie's box & so did my guests - it was just perfect for a small Christmas gift. So thanks Debbie and Beate!!
