Thanks for visiting!
I am amazed at the response I have received regarding my workshop. Alan and I have been very busy getting everything ready for tomorrow morning. We have everyone all set up that has registered, if you are not able to log into the 12 Days of Christmas blog please let us know ASAP.
Here is a little someone that just makes me smile. I wonder what he could be? Those that registered will find out tomorrow. It is not too late to sign up for the workshop as registration is still open.

I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve and don’t think I will be able to sleep a wink all night.
See you in the morning.

The 12 Days of Christmas is a month long online workshop of holiday creating. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the month of November I will post new projects that will include a supply list, tools needed and step by step instructions to complete each project. There will be a total of at least 15 tutorials. Some projects will come with a template to make the creative process a bit easier and each featured project has close up color photos. All the projects are designed so you can use items you already have on hand or create them exactly like the sample.

The cost for this online workshop is $19.95 and will be available from November 1st – December 15th. Once payment is received you will be sent a password to enter this private forum starting at 7:00 a.m. November 1st. Then it’s time to get out the glitter, trims, papers and embellishments for a fun filled month of creating.
Since this will be a place that is all about the holidays I will include downloadable images from my stash of favorite vintage holiday sheet music and postcards. I will share with you some of my favorite family recipes, holiday quotes and photos of some of my favorite holiday decorations over the years. I hope you too will share cookie recipes, holiday traditions and decorations as I love to see how others celebrate and decorate during the holiday season.
I hope to see you there.
Hugs,
LP

I have decided to hold a month long event of holiday crafting starting November 1st. I will post three tutorials each week, recipes for some of my tried and true holiday baked goods, holiday quotes, decorating ideas, templates, downloads and anything else holiday related I think of. My popular “Monsieur Hiver” will be included as a project as well as another little cutie. Hint: Jingle. These ideas will be exclusive on a private site and the cost will be $19.95. I will keep everything available on the private site until December 15th. After that they will be removed.

So if you are interested in joining in on the fun be on the look out for the 12 Days of Christmas link. Alan is getting everything set up now so as soon as it is ready I will let you know.

for my dear hubby Alan since he wouldn’t get out of bed this morning… after all it was 11:30. Every time I see this I laugh so hard I cry. It’s only a few seconds but so worth every tear I shed from laughter. Once Sonny our Golden Retriever saw him move he tackled him…. Alan was up for sure then.
I know this is a little form of sick humor… I’m gonna blame it on all the book projects I have been working on lately. I have 30 completed. But honestly, my sister and I laugh so hard we can hardly breath.
Have a great weekend.
