Just a reminder that we are almost halfway through December (can you believe it?) which means you only have a little over two weeks left to use this month's hilarious 'Christmas Spirit Birdbrain' digi on a project to earn the next Stamp of the Month for free! This digi is free with any $10 purchase at From the Heart Stamps.   Be sure to post your project HERE to be eligible.

Challenges include:
1)  Tuesday Morning Sketches #279 with extra BINGO challenge:  I used jingle bells, glitter DP, and ribbon.

2)  Color Throwdown #322:  fun vintage color combo of teal, green, red, and pink.

Don't you love the sentiment?  'Powered by 100% all natural Christmas Spirit (and caffeine, of course)'.  That is SO me!

Happy holidays to all!  I will be back in 2015 -- now it's time to make like the Birdbrain and get busy with our holiday prep!
