Second annual Tag Day

Today was "Tag day". What fun to be creative for an afternoon whilst listening to Christmas tunes and spending time with some lovely ladies.
Here are some of the great things made today:
These are Anne's creations.
This is Cheryle's chilly Eskimo gal. I had the hardest time getting her stamped straight!!I cannot figure out why this loads sideways, because in my documents it is straight. Anyway, you can totally see Diane's love of fabric and the vintagy look in her tags.
Joanne utilized some of her Creative Memories tools to create these cute ones.
Again, a silly sideways picture, but these are Celia's . Her talent and creativity awes me.

OK, this looks fixed, but these are mine and they are straight...go figure.
Some shots of the afternoon:
My buds, Celia and Margaret, discussing deep things while cutting, pasting and stamping.
Melissa and Jill. Jill is a promising crafter, having recently made a quilt, makes cards and was a huge help on the blessings books day that we had last fall before our trip to Brazil.
Diane in the middle of my "extra" project. I got infected with a little "Martha Stewart" and tried to provide a special project. Because the drying time was so long, they weren't finished when we closed shop:
The one on the far right is mine, and the ones on the left are drying. They are just beautiful, but time intensive.
Anne loving the camera.
Thought I would also share some of the tags we made in the past, and some of my rejects:
These were my rejects for this year, but they aren't unusable.
These went to the land of misfit tags last year.
These were Celia's fabulous tags from last year. We were the only ones who made the prototypes last year and I hosted here and it proved to be a very stressful time. This year was much more relaxing.
These were my prototypes from last year. What fun!!

Funny thing that happened today. I made a hot appetizer, but needed to bake them off at the church. They only take about 10 minutes and I totally forgot about them. 2 hours later, I smelled them. When I am crafting, I get so obsessed and focused, I forget everything else!!!
Two more parties tomorrow!
