The girls at Crafty Secrets have all been busy working on a Christmas-themed blog challenge. For my project I decided to wrap up a Papertrey notepad using a Crafty Secrets Homespun Cotton Scrap. It seems that my holiday baking list never ends, and so this year I thought it would be fun to create a beautiful spot to hold my oh, so important lists of grocery items, lists of goodies for neighbors, etc.
I used the Holiday Treats and the Merry & Bright stamp sets from Papertrey Ink along with Vintage Cream cardstock, Spring Moss, Pure Poppy, and Dark Chocolate ink, and Ripe Avocado and Vintage Cream buttons.
It's about time to get my lists going...always so much fun to try new things for the holidays.
Here are some fun links for you to follow to see many more holiday projects:

And...the big announcement....Rachel has randomly selected a winner from my blog to win the Darkroom Door stamp sets shown HERE...the winner is Edna who posted at 8:43 p.m. on Nov. 19. Edna, congratulations! Please email me with your address and I'll forward it onto Rachel so she can send out your goodies. Thanks so much to all of you for participating.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Melissa, your notepad cover is darling! Who could resist making a list in such a pretty little morsel!
Your sewing machine is working again, I see ;) Love your stitching. Sometimes a machine needle can have just a little burr or dent and can wreck havoc.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family. Lisa
