"Christmas is right around the corner and getting everything done on your Christmas list can be challenging. On top of trying to get all the gifts purchased and dinners organized, there’s always get togethers at someone’s home and your in need of a gift for the hostess.
So for todays project, I’ve created a set of two covered notebooks featuring Off to the Races. Covering notebooks is a lot of fun and an easy way to personalize it for the hostess.
