Christmas, Ready Or Not....

I make myself the same promise every year to be better organized,

more on the ball, better prepared,

and the list goes on.....

Every year I'm in the same boat though

and I've learned not to be frustrated

but to rejoice in the fact that I work well under pressure.:)

I finally got my class samples done!

I just love the paper on the NOEL!

I wanted simple, classic and this paper from

Jillibean Soup (Christmas Chestnut Soup) was perfect!

Next up is Santa!

This is a pattern I altered a bit from

a magazine pattern I bought for a tea towel several years ago.

I just love the Santa!

I'll have to go back through my stash and find exactly

where he came from.

The NOEL and SANTA will be offered as

a class or kit to go down at Paper Cottage

and I'll try to get them posted over in my Etsy store too!

Both sets can also be ordered as Wood Only.

Boutique #2 is up this week!

My Crafty Sister and I are scrambling to get everything ready in time

but it will sure be fun!

I'm just hoping that my little girls cold doesn't feel like befriending me!

Bazaars Make Me MIA

Yup, it's that time of year, and I feel like I'm MIA.

But trust me, there's lots of action going on out in my shop.

Yesterday in my crazy efforts to be ready for our fun Bazaar starting today

I realized that I hadn't slept in 40 hours.

Yup...

I'm nuts.

But after going out and working at our little Bazaar this morning

I just have to say that I was just happy

to see something that we all work so hard for

come together and look so great!

I'm so glad to be a part of this group of talented ladies.

This is our 3rd year doing our Bazaar and I've really grown

to appreciate and respect these Bazaar gals!

So if you want to see some great stuff head on out to Eagle....

you won't be disappointed!!

I promise I'll have pictures of the fun stuff we've been doing up soon!

:)
