Welcome today to our last challenge for the year!!  And what a year it has been!  We've seen many new sets with more to come in the new year!  A new designer with images I just know you are going to love coming in the first quarter and two new Belles joining us from next week!  We've loved having you play along with us each week and share in our excitement as we share our new designs with you.  We have lots more to come in 2012 and we hope you'll travel along with us :)

You'll want to start on my blog HERE, but you'll have to forgive me, the project I decided was a little more involved than I thought it would be lol!  It's most definitely not the ornament to start on th 20th December!

Say It With...Christmas 2 - Boxes

Thank you everyone for sharing your gorgeous gift ideas from last week!!  I'll be back very soon with our 'favourite'...it's just never easy choosing!!

Well I'm sure we all have to put a few of these together each Christmas, and it's always nice to take a little time preparing them.  Today the Belles must have all been on the same wavelength because most of us used the pre-scored kraft boxes!  (such a time saver!)

Say It With...Christmas 1 - Handmade Gifts

This is something that I think we'll concentrate on in the middle of the year next year, rather than the end!  I love to make some card sets and things but always seem to run out of time by now to be doing it!  
The Belles have managed to come up with some great ideas today and we are looking forward to seeing your ideas for Christmas Gift giving the handmade way!!!
