Christi's Creative Crew: Team Christmas Party

On Saturday night of our Stampin' Retreat we had our Team Christmas Party

We all sat in a circle and we requested that everyone bring their gift in a brown paper grocery bag, stapled shut so that they all looked the same. Janell and I took their gifts when they arrived on Friday night and then passed them out when the party started, therefore no one would know who brought which one.

We played a game that I found on Pinterest and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Using 2 dice we went around the circle, rolling the dice. If you rolled a "snake eyes" (double ones) you got to take one of the full sized candy bars that I had in the center of the circle (I had 6 of them). If you rolled a double then you could trade with someone else or you could make two other people trade their gifts. If they rolled a 5 we passed our gift one to the right and if you rolled a 9 we passed our gifts two to the left. When all 6 candy bars had been won, the very next snake eyes rolled would be the winner, and win the "big" gift that I had in the center of the circle. The funny thing is that I was the one to roll the final snake eyes so we just kept going until someone else won.

Marlane was the big winner - inside the box was a pint jar filled with M&M's, but in the center I had an empty toilet paper tube, and inside that tube was a gift certificate for a $20 spending spree with me.

Prior to coming to the retreat I told everyone to come prepared with festive wear for the party and Chris sure didn't disappoint

Such a cute little elf!

Everyone really enjoyed our new game, and the gifts that they received. I never took pictures during the game because I was in the moment, enjoying the time with my team.
