Holiday Extravaganza: Ideas to Make Your Holidays Easy

Let's kick off a Holiday Extravaganza! Throughout the next few weeks I will be posting some fantastic (if I do say so myself!) ideas to help you prepare for the upcoming holidays. You will see ideas for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. I will probably bounce between the different holidays as I start working on my projects. Look forward to ideas for

• Card Making


• Decorating


• Gift Giving


• Packaging & Tags

In my newsletter this month I hinted about a sale that Stampin' Up will be offering from November 26 - December 1. I thought that I would have information about it this week, but I don't! I really don't have any idea what they are planning, but view it as a "Black Friday" type of thing. You will find the details out the day it starts! Be sure to check my blog that day to find out all about the special.
