I love sharing time with you in these  Lunchbreak Lives on my Facebook page !  My "Create with Me" videos are (most) Tuesdays just past noon, and it's easy to remember: Lunchbreak Live at 12:05 😁. Watch the Video In my weekly lives: - we connect & get to know one another  - I share announcements , specials & events - we create something together  - and  sometimes we have giveaways! for just about half an hour.  I am now able to bring these over to our  YouTube community!  If you're available at lunchtime on Tuesdays, please join me  over on Facebook for the live video, because it's always fun to interact in real time. But if not, please feel free to enjoy these on YouTube, where you can pull them up on your Smart TV or whatever device works best for you!  In this week's video we explored the super fun and easy Stampin' Up treat boxes, how to decorate them, and how to create useful, attractive clusters from scraps...
