Hey everyone! Can you believe that Winter is right around the corner? I am soooooo loving this time of year! For me, that means my annual Christmas trip to Chautauqua, New York is fast approaching, (only 2 months away), and I cannot wait to smell that crisp, cold, frigid air, see the fireplace aglow every night, sip on hot chocolate with marshmallows, as my kids and I watch the snowflakes fall, singing Christmas carols, strapping on skiis, taking long walks and leaving this hot and humid state behind if only for a couple of weeks. I did a layout for the December issue of Better Homes & Gardens, "Scrapbook's etc" and oddly enough, features my children Courtney and Connor up in New York last year during Christmas. They are VERY excited to go again this year. I hope you enjoy! :)

here are some close-ups...




That layout was soooo much fun to do! It was actually a "Scrap-lift" assignment from a layout done by Lisa Truesdell. I hope you enjoyed it!.

And how about a little "Ribbon Candy"??? Well that's the name of the new Cupcard's {to go} November kit and it's a full-blown Christmas card kit with everything you will need to make the sweetest Christmas cards.
