I’m proud to announce that my holiday craft party at The Container Store was an absolute success. I did an in-store demonstration on December 5th at the North Avenue Store where I shared some DIY gift ideas. And if you didn’t already know, The Container Store is craft heaven!

It was my first time presenting in front of a live audience and it was exhilarating. It ended up being a busy day of shopping, even for me, as I personally left the store with some new goodies and gift ideas for my loved ones.

I would like to give a special thanks to The Container Stores team and to all my friends and followers who came out to show support.

The following is an example of one of the DIY gift ideas I demonstrated during the event.
