Rubber Ducky Christmas Ornaments Swapped

Merry Christmas from the Rubber Duckies.  This updated picture of our group was taken at our annual Christmas brunch.  We've been together for at least 15 years.  What a great group of ladies...and friends.

Below are the ornaments we shared for our gift exchange.  They are wonderful.

Santa Claus Comes to Stamp Camp North

At our December Stamp Camp, Santa came to visit.  He is sweet on Julie Whitfield.  Here is a picture of him sneaking a kiss.  The funny thing is Santa has a southern accent.  Juli is lucky to be married to Santa.  Lucky girl...well, I'll  say, he is lucky, too.  We served a fresh turkey and the trimmings to our campers.  It was a fun day.  All of the guests  received at least one door prize and a prepay gift...as well as 10 great cards to take home.  We are lucky to have Juli Whitfield as our leader.  

This next picture is of some of the campers making cards.  We have our camp at the Westminster Elks Lodge so have tons of room to spread out.  I think everyone went home happy.

Rubber Ducky Christmas Swap - Judy DiScipio [Me]

A Christmas Shadow Box with Jingle Bells sounded like a good idea.  It was made by my elfs during the night...before we met for our annual Christmas Potluck and Gift Swap.  I  like how it turned out.  It is very sparkly.  Nicole received my gift which worked out great since she will be moving back to Denver next month and didn't put up Christmas decorations.  This was her only decoration on her mantle.  :)  It will be wonderful to have her in town again.  Pueblo is way to far.

Rubber Ducky Christmas Swap - Pat Stevens

Pat created these beautiful Heart Boxes for her gift.  They are covered with velvet and ribbon.  Pat is a wonderful seamstress and these boxes are exceptional.  They couldn't be prettier than they are.  The largest box has some vintage trim she received from JoAnn's aunt's estate sale...so it worked out wonderfully that JoAnn received this as her gift.  She had tears in her eyes when she saw the trim.  It couldn't have worked out better.  Aren't friends wonderful?!?!?!  :)

Rubber Ducky Christmas Swap - Nicole Webb

Nicole altered an notebook featuring an owl image.  She works wonders with designer paper.  I am the lucky recipient of this notebook.  I think I'm going to use it for my card recipes.  If I wait to create a cookbook, it may never get done.  I'm sure you understand how that goes.    :)  

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)

Rubber Ducky Christmas Swap - Nicole in Dawn's Stamp Room

I thought I would share a picture of Nicole Webb eyeing all the Christmas Gifts on the tables.  You can see one end of Dawn's stamp room.  She has a wonderful space to create.  On the other end of the room is a desk and computer area and Accucut machines, etc.  She even has a bathroom attached and a big window over her desk.  It holds all 9 of us Ducks easily.  Nice picture Nicole.  :)

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)
