Christmas Countdown: Teresa Collins Giveaway & More Paper Stocking Goodness

Hello There Crafters!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just a few days away! It seems like just yesterday we were talking about our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. And now, wham, it's Christmas! But time does fly when you're having fun. We're continuing to rock your holiday world today with more glorious paper stockings as well as a fun giveaway with Teresa Collins. If you're in need of some last minute holiday inspiration, we've got you covered. Another fun benefit of crafting, especially this close to Christmas, is that it allows you to create amazing gifts without having to deal with the shopping crowds. It's always funny this time of year. I tried to do a little bit of shopping over the weekend and I was amazed that the roads were packed with rush hour traffic all day long. Yet another example of how crafting can be both practical and a retreat from the holiday hullabaloo.

And speaking of holiday craft cheer, we're having a very special contest today only! We're participating in Terea Collins' 25 Favorite Things Giveaway! Leave a blog comment today and you could win our beautiful new Once Upon a Springtime 12x12 and 8x8 paper pads! Oooh!

The possibilities are endless with this elegant new collection so don't miss out! This contest is today only so be sure to leave your comment and join in the fun. Also, be sure to check out Teresa Collins' amazing blog too! She's been featuring terrific giveaways this holiday season and lots of beauiful craft ideas.

Now lets get to the crafting! Have a look at this stunning paper stocking created by Jenny Svennson. More holiday cheer to brighten your winter day!
