December Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts and More Gratitude

One of the three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts we are making in my December Play Group Classes

Before I get started, I wanted to let you know to be sure and check my blog tomorrow for my Black Friday sale information!

Christmas and the holidays are some of my favorite times of the year. There is something about reds and greens together that just makes me feel festive.  The papers we are using for our December Play Group Scrappin' Class layouts (three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts) are just absolutely gorgeous! The Pear & Partridge paper pack is filled with rich greens and reds and elegant patterns.  It can be dressed up or down depending on the look you want.    I would LOVE to have you join us!  For details on how these classes work, just scroll down the left side of my blog until you see the section titled "Play Group Classes" and you can read all about it.

In keeping with the rest of my posts this month, and before I share all the good stuff about December's Play Group classes, I'd like to share something I am grateful for. Today I am EXTRA grateful for holiday breaks!  Because of a good holiday break at Southern Utah University, we get to enjoy having Tannon, Easton and Daysha join us for Thanksgiving!  Tannon arrived a day ago and Easton and Daysha get her tonight. I am so excited!  I love my family and love that most of them will be together for Thanksgiving.  Kori, Rick and kiddos: we will miss you. Have I mentioned lately how NOT grateful I am that you live so far away?  I am also grateful today for the awesome opportunity that I have had to be part of Close To My Heart for almost 20 years. Where did the time go?  I love what I do!
