And the December Winner is.....

Comment #4- Kim!!!!!!! Congratulations!! Thank you everyone for entering this month's giveaway! Sorry I was so late in posting the winner! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday (even with your least favorite things). My least favorite thing is definitely putting all the holiday stuff away afterwards. Yuck!

December Giveaway!

I'm sure this month has snuck up on all of you! Where has 2010 gone? :) There are so many wonderful things about December, but just for fun and because I'm not very traditional at all, leave a comment about something that's not so awesome about December or holiday time. Maybe the parking? Traffic? Too many sweets around? If your name is randomly selected, then you will win a packet of these:

Aren't they the cutest little things you've ever seen? I fell in love with them when I saw them. They are not really for scrapbooking, but they were PERFECT for all of my little random brads and loose little embellishments. You have until December 15th!!!

Enjoy this wonderful and crazy month!

Too Stinkin' Cute by: Mindy Burns

This is a layout I made last year for our scrapbook exchange. I absolutely fell in love with this Close To My Heart paper when I saw it in the catalog, and then I loved it even more when I got it and saw it in person. The colors just make me so happy. It's a super simple layout, but the patterned paper give it that extra "ueumph" I think.
