Bake Off/Craft Fest 2008

One of my favorite holiday traditions is our annual card making and cookie baking party. Digs and I started this fun weekend four years ago and it has been growing ever sense. This year we had quite the turn out! Laura flew in from California! Digs and Cabe drove down Friday night after work. And Jamie, Ruthie, and Krissy joined us on Saturday. We stayed up until three AM baking, laughing, sewing, dancing, card making, singing, eating, story telling, & crafting. Having this time together really helped us to get some December projects done but just as importantly allowed us to spend some quality girl time together. We made some great memories!

We had to make several grocery store trips to gather all our supplies! We went everywhere as a big group. The rule is NO separating.
Laura kicked of the baking in the kitchen!

Digs made some adorable holiday pillows.
Krissy was the official taste tester and craft helper! Cabe was the all star baker/crafter. She made the most batches of cookies, washed piles of dishes, sewed her & Todd's name onto their stockings, and became quite the card maker. We voted her ALLSTAR crafter.

Jamie (AKA craft leader) made the cutest paper garland and taught us all how to make her adorable fabric banners. Ruthie making her most beautiful holiday cards.

Thanks girls for making the trip down to Longview! I had such a fun time with all of you!
I am already looking forward to next year!
