So I am not sure how many of you are into crafts but Nora at Just Make stuff has a course up now to help you craft up some christmas magic!
Here is an excerpt from her blog:
12 Tags for Christmas is focused on making holiday preparations fun. The class will also include an organizational component with plenty of resources to help you make all of your lists and check them twice!
The cost is $12 USD which includes twelve different days of gift tag making themes that will be shared on a private class blog on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays from November 5th until November 30th. The class will also include numerous PDF files that you can download to create your own holiday planner...gift lists, party planning, and much more.
There will also be giveaways each day from amazing class sponsors like rubber stamps from Catslife Press and new holiday collection items from Life Love Paper.
You can purchase the class by clicking the Pay Pal link on her blog. You will receive an e-mail later next week with a link to the blog and password so you'll be already to start holiday planning on November 5th.
So if you would love to to create like the lovely Nora - go sign up for the course now - it starts in a few days time - I'm enrolling!

Titbits from a ten year old..........
My lovely son Liam comes out with the funniest things sometimes:
Last night at dinner I was pouring myself a glass of milk to have with dinner.
Liams says - "What! do you drink that raw???" (meaning the milk)
I reply - "of course thats how your drink it - how else do you drink it???"
Liams reply - "You know with sugar and milo????"
BLESS!!!!
