I was going to Arizona for Pinners Conference in Scottsdale so I decided to see if any friends might be interested in coming to a Pinterest party while I was in town and ta-da, it worked out and my friend Rebecca was so kind to let me host it at her house - eve
n though she was out of town and didn't get back until the party was almost over.

First though, here's the board of ideas and inspiration that we worked from if you want to see all the fun Christmas (and Disney) ideas I've been pinning over the last few months.
Getting everything set up. It was nice to have 3 separate tables to move to for the crafts.
Food and decor is set up and ready to roll. Let's take a closer look...
What We Ate ~
Oat crackers and dip
Daniele brought her special homemade hot chocolate mix for us to have. No link.
A little sampling on my plate....
Now on to the crafts.

What We Made~
I found this idea (Stamped Washer Christmas Pendant) on Pinterest to make these Joy necklaces and it was the perfect opportunity to bring some of my metal stamping supplies to Arizona. Both UT and CA have gotten to do the metal stamping in the past and so it was fun to teach everyone how to make these. Pretty simple with just a J and a Y.
Next up was this fun little tree decoration, Simple and Rustic Holiday Ornament. Tony cut down sticks from our yard for this and I had buttons and greenery on hand. It worked out so nice and everyone's turned out cute! I only took a picture of this one though.
I just love making these! These ones are Christmas Tree Squishy Toys and everyone seemed to have a good time making these. If you have memory foam laying around like I do (haha) then this is a fun craft and item to make to gift or give to your kids or use yourself when you feel a bit stressed or like doing hand crunches.
Anyways, that is it! That's what we ate and what we made. Leave me a comment if you want me to come do a Pinterest party in Arizona again. I love being able to do parties when I travel even though it adds an extra layer of...busy-ness to my trip. But it's so much fun to craft with friends, especially ones I dont get to see super often.
