One week today it will be Christmas Day and the final rush has begun. No matter how well you plan there's always those last minute jobs that simply can't be done earlier. Like buying fresh fruit and vegetables for Christmas dinner. But then there's the jobs that have been on your list since last Christmas, like making sure you have enough gift tags for the gifts.

One Final Happy Holly-Days Project
Ooh it's cold outside and the snow we had on Wednesday is still on the ground. Heavy rain is on the way though so it will probably all be gone by the weekend. It's still not clear whether we'll have a white Christmas but that doesn't change the fact that two weeks today will be Christmas Eve. Between now and then I'll enjoy getting a few final projects made with products that are retiring but currently still in stock. Today I decided to grab the Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set to make this pretty ... VIEW POST
Less Than A Month To Christmas
In case you weren't aware, this time next month Christmas will be over. You know even though I've been providing you with regular reminders, somehow, once again, Christmas has crept up on me.

Today's project is a gift tag using the Natural Textures Stamp Set which is one of those exclusive stamp sets you may have missed. NATURAL TEXTURES My project began with the Natural ... VIEW POST

November is turning out to be an exciting month, and it's only the 4th! On Tuesday we saw the release of the new Eden's Garden suite along with some extra limited availability products. In a little over a week Demonstrators will get their first look at the new January to July Mini Catalogue, and the Retiring List won't be far behind. But starting today we a very special joining offer. So I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to show you this card I made as part of my 24 cards in ... VIEW POST
Daisy Lane For Family Get-Togethers
In case you hadn't realised, three months today will be Christmas Day. But before we get to that we've got Thanksgiving right around the corner. In Canada, Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October and often marked by family get-togethers. Today I wanted to give you an idea for a pretty way to gather up the napkins and silverware (cutlery). So I decided to pull out my Daisy Lane Stamp Set which I haven't used in ages and set to work. QUICK NAPKIN WRAP My project actually began ... VIEW POST
