We finally found each other and, since we were all famished, went to find this amazing waffle place for lunch. By the way, the temperature is around 37 degrees celcius here, so any midday walking you do is very tiring!
If you're ever in Salt Lake City, find this tiny little place and try their delicious but heavier Belgian waffles with creme fraiche and fresh fruit. Yum!
Then it was time to head back to the hotel to check in and get unpacked and settled. Holly and I are sharing a nice room with a couple of quirky features, but overall very comfortable. We shared roomy gifts! I'm dying to show you the ones I made:
These sweet boxes are made from one 12 x 12 sheet of Design Series Paper (Afternoon Picnic DSP shown here). I put some little sewing kits for fabric and clothing emergencies inside. As I was thinking about how I could make a fancy box to store the sewing kits in one day last week, I opened up my email and YouTube sent me some video suggestions. One of them was a video tutorial by Stampin' T on how to make these little boxes. The link to the video gives you great detailed instructions, so I won't try to duplicate, but it involves taking a full sheet of DSP and scoring and folding it to create the box.
The box lies flat for storing or packing and then you open up the box part when you are ready to put something inside it. The Wisteria Wonder piece is a belly band to keep the box closed and I just decorated it with Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon, a quarter of a doily and to make the label, the Label Love stamp set, the ABC-123 Sketch Alphabet and Numbers stamp set, and the Artisan Label Punch!
They were so much fun to create! Make sure you watch the video and give this project a try!
By the way, I was given permission to post these photos of the shenanigans that went on in the hotel room in Seattle two nights ago. Can you guess who? Leave a comment with your guesses!
