Happy mail!

I participated in a Christmas swap on the Studio Calico message board. justem was my partner and I received my package from her today! It is filled with amazing scrappy goodness!!! Basic Grey Figgy Pudding papers and ledgers papers and ledger papers, buttons, felt, labels, two stamp sets and chocolate filled the box! Totally exciting! Thanks so much, justem!

Festive Paperclips!

Today's project was super quick. I cut cardstock mats for some old Christmas stickers I found in my stash and sandwiched half a paperclip between the cardstock and the sticker to make festive clips to use at work this month! Once again inspired by Sarah Bowen's class. Today's photo was of Lauren working on a Christmas gift. Can't share that photo just in case the recipient reads this blog but I'll share the photo of the day taken on the 1st.

Days of December

Christmas seems to come and go in a blur every year. This year I am determined to focus on enjoying the preparation as much as the celebration! Each day in December I am attempting to do one little thing that I find FUN and make a note of it. I'm also going to try and do a photo a day journal for the month.

So far...

December 1st - transfer all Christmas CD's on to Itune and made a playlist on Ipod and photo of frost on window
December 2nd - made 12 quick gift tags inspired by a class from Sarah Bowen and photos by tree!

Hope you take time to enjoy your preparations and make time for fun, friends and play this month!
