Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A few days ago I mentioned that I had a special visitor.
What a treat to meet Michele in person!
I am really honored that they would drive all the way from Michigan to visit!
She's as much fun as I expected and a great hugger.
Thanks for the hugs from my Michigan friends.
I sent some back to you too.
Our sweet friend Nance was able to come visit with us for an afternoon.
We shared lot of press plates, stamps and dies and I have lots of
things to color and put on cards.
Does it look like we're having a good time?
It was the best time!
Bruce and Tom had a good time too. The timing was perfect to keep Bruce's mind
off his cataract surgery today.
I have a card made from a press plate that Michele brought to share.
I pressed this pretty tree using some Stampin' Up ink and added a bit of coloring
at the bottom, some sparky stars and chunky embossing powder.

Oh lucky you, that Michele gets around, doesn't she?! So fun to have time to craft with her and Nance! Great card....what a gorgeous image!
Wow, what fun to have a visit from crafty friends. I know you ladies had a wonderful time together. Love the pretty Christmas card. Hugs from Florida.
I'm still pinching myself, Bonnie! It was such a wonderful time! Just look how pretty your red pressing came together - I love it and all the sparkly goodness and 'tree skirt' you've added!
I sure hope Bruce's surgery went well - let us know, okay?
Thanks again for opening your home and arms to welcome us to NC!

Great card and HOW fun to meet a fellow stamper! Looks like a wonderful time and a great way to share supplies. I'm glad you had such a wonderful time.
Awww - great photo of you three! Looks like you had fun with press plates - just love what you did with the texty tree, Bonnie!!
So glad it worked out that Michele could visit. Having spent time with both of you, I know what a fun time was had. Good that Nance could join you too. Love your tree!
I am pea green with envy - now tell the truth, have ya'll been drinking wine! Your card is wonderful - full of Christmas spirit. I'm not sure I know what a press plate is. Hmmmmm, do I need one?
Hope all went well with the cataract surgery.

I'm still waiting to hear all about the visit, but I know Michele will fill me in when she comes over in a couple weeks! (Did you want to come over too??!!) Your card is absolutely beautiful and I think Michele is going to need to bring that plate to my house too! So glad you had a wonderful time and that Nance got to join in the fun too...stamping friends really are the best!! Hugs. :0)
Love that red pressed Christmas tree, Bonnie. I had a wonderful time with you and Michele last weekend. Thank you so much for having me for lunch and a little crafty/chat time with you and Michele! I always enjoy our time together and getting to see a mutual crafty friend together was even more special. Hope surgery went well for Bruce today. See you soon!
How wonderful to get to meet Michele and have crafty time together! I love the Christmas card you made using her press plate - also the simple colour scheme and CAS design. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Peace on Earth!
Oh what a special, and joyful time, Bonnie. Love your gorgeous card!!
Blessings

What a fun trio! It looks like you all had the bestest time, and your card sure shows it. Pretty tree and the bright red works perfectly
How lovely to get together with your friends for a play day and sharing all your lovely things too. I love this press plate of the tree in red and the added bit of colour at the bottom looks perfect Bonnie. x
What a fun get together, the three of you must have had a blast. Wonderful card with the better press, great festive colours ♥
How much fun can one person have? It's a whole lot when stamping friends get together. What a joy! That's a beautiful press plate Michele brought for you to try, and now you have another gorgeous Christmas card!
Those smiles say it all! I know you galls had oodles of fun. Michele and Tom are the best, aren't they! Love the pretty card you made, Bonnie!
What a fabulous card and looks like an awesome time was had by all, Michele and Marcia are a few hours away from me and I hope to meet up with them next summer with my partner in crime that runs all our challenge blogs together, Dar from Ohio!!

What fun!! You girls look so happy. So fabulous that Michele drove from Michigan to see you Bonnie!! LOVE your beautiful Christmas card. xx
I always love seeing crafty friends getting together and how special to have Michele and Tom drive out to meet you and Bruce and that Nance could join you! That Christmas card is stunning and I have a feeling it's even prettier in person! I hope Bruce's surgery went well. Hugs, Dolly
