I'm still here! | Holidaily Scrapbooking

Oh, hello! I’m still here! Sorry we’ve been MIA for a while now...just haven’t been doing so great - my CRPS has been real bad lately, in a lot, a lot of pain, and, so, stuck in bed a lot and haven’t been able to do much since I am trying not to move most days, as even slight movements have been tough. I was doing better the other day a bit and did get to do some scrapbooking with Ry and our puppy Pastel, and that was lovely, so here are some pics of us all working together to try and get some more done in my Holidaily album.

Huuugs, everyone!!! Hope you are well!!! And stay hopeful! I know 2020 was hard and 2021 is not getting off to a great start, but we all just need to hang in there! Anyhow, I do have some more posts coming soon! So stay tuned!

"The Merriest" Collection Full Reveal and Launch!!!

Hello, everyone!!! Today I get to share with you all the full reveal of our newest Christmas collection, "The Merriest"! I super duper love this collection!!! And I think you will, too!!! It's filled with the merriest things so as to help you celebrate the holidays! Yes, the holiday season is different this year and so I wanted to create a collection that reflected that, but which also expressed hope and joy for this holiday season. Subsequently, I created a collection that focused on lots of the little things that make us merry while staying at home. I was also inspired by the song, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" because it talks about making your Christmas-time merry despite difficulties like being apart from those you love. The song was written like this for wartime, but it really applies to our circumstances today too, with Covid. It speaks of muddling through, but also expresses being merry for all the beautiful blessings that one does have during the holiday season...and it also talks about hope for a brighter Christmas future. I was very inspired by this sort of mentality and the idea that we can always make our Christmas merry even in difficult times by focusing on the little joys that bring us happiness as well as the bright and magical things that this season represents. I also included, in this collection, direct references to a covid Christmas (these can be found in the add on pages), such as Christmas masks and 3x4 cards that say things like "m is for merry and for mask". I know this Christmas-time is very different this year for all of us, but there is no reason why we cant still be merry...in fact, let's make this Christmas the merriest that we possibly can!!!

First let's take a look at the patterned paper in this collection.

View fullsize

For "The Merriest," I created a really cute, modern-but-also-vintage-inspired, Christmas, color scheme consisting of pinks, mints, light yellow, some pretty blues, and a touch of aqua, alongside the more traditional red and green. And I definitely wasn't stingy on the pink...I love a pink Christmas, don't you? Anyhow, with the patterns themselves, I tried to incorporate a number of fun, Christmas-at-home, comfy, cozy themes like a cute, Christmas sweater, a nice, warm cup of hot cocoa, Holiday music, snowflakes and a snowman, some sweet little pets, the decorated tree, presents, and, of course, quaint little Christmas houses. Plus there is so much more Christmas adorableness to love in "The Merriest", including a super jolly, dancing Santa Clause, a very happy and cute Rudolph, and more! And I decided to make a special Christmas rainbow for this collection because rainbows are symbols of happiness and hope and I definitely think we can use more of both those things right now!

Alright, now that we have gone over the patterned papers in general, let's take a closer look at each 12x12 patterned page individually. First, we have "The Merriest" -- yes, it is a 12x12 page named after the collection itself. And it is aptly named as it includes a number of the cute holiday images that can be found throughout the collection. In fact, it is kinda like a visual summary of the collection, with words, imagery and themes that embody "The Merriest" as a whole! I love it!!! And on the back we have a simple but elegant red pattern that is reminiscent of a Christmas star or snowflake.

Next we have "Hi, I'm Rudolph!" This is an adorable 12x12 with Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer on the front, frolicking across a light pink background. He looks very vintage and cute like a 50s/60s illustration of Rudolph. And along with his traditional red nose, he also has a strand of Christmas lights strung from antler to antler, and he seems very happy about it. On the back there is a beautiful Christmas rainbow shining brightly atop a deep forest green background.

Our next 12x12 patterned page is called, "Let's Make it Jolly." It is definitely one of my favorites in the collection, and it includes images such as our cute, little Rudolph, dancing Santa, our vintage record player, some snow flakes and candy canes, Christmas pennants, a fun little kitty, and a familiar-looking puppy who may or may not be named Pastel. Lol! And on the back there is a cool aqua geometric pattern.

This next patterned paper is called, "Hurray for December!" On the front is a really fun and vibrant collection of vintage-looking, Christmas pennants. They say things like, "Winter," "Believe," "Merry Christmas," "December," etc. And on the back is a really cute, pink and green plaid that I super love!

Here we have "Frolicking Around the Christmas Tree." This 12x12 paper is so ridiculously cute. It has lots of different animals all getting together for Christmas around the tree with lots of presents and decorations, in their Christmas best, just having a great time. I love the little fox on the sled, the pretty Christmas pony, the cat carrying the present, the elegant reindeer, the funny, fuzzy bear, and, of course, the super incredible, adorable, and amazing, little puppy, who seems to be hopping about with an ornament on her nose. And on the back is a really fun, multi-colored snowflake pattern that I know you're going to love, too!

The next 12x12 patterned paper is called, "The ABC's of Christmastime." This is also one of my absolute favorites in the collection. I love the multi-colored alphas - they're so beautiful. And I love all the images in-between the alphas, like the snow globe, the reindeer, the stocking, the gingerbread man, Santa's happy face, and more. On the back, we have a bold, red and white stripe, which is so cool.

"Holiday Countdown" is the next 12x12, and it is exactly what it sounds like. It's a countdown of the month of December. Every day is a different color and a different Christmas-y word. And it's perfect to cut apart to use for a Christmas advent calendar, a holidaily, a December Daily, a December documented, etc. On the back is a really gorgeous, painted pattern that has reds, pinks, whites, mints, and greens creating sort of an ombre effect.

This next 12x12 is called "Noel, Noel..." And it's a cutapart sheet. This cutapart sheet has 3x4s, 2x2s, and other sizes as well. I love the little rainbow 3x4 that says, "The Merriest." And all the different colored 2x2s, especially the cute little Christmas house one and the peppermint one. On the back we have a Christmas ribbon pattern, and these ribbons look like the vintage kind that you would win for best in show or a horse race, or a pie-making contest. They're super cute, and I love them!

Next we have, "It's the Holiday Season." This is also a cutapart sheet, and is one of my favorite pages in the collection, for sure. It includes lots of labels and tickets, which I can't wait to use, and the cutest, little, vintage-looking cards (like playing cards) that have cute Christmas-y things on them, like Rudolph, the gingerbread man, and a very sweet, vintage, A-frame Christmas house. On the back is a super vibrant and fun, multicolored stripe that reminds me of a fun, Christmas, candy cane.

Now let's take a look at the add-on papers. There are four add-on papers for this collection, which you can add on when you order any of the kit options. The first add-on paper is called "Holly, Jolly, Merry, and Bright." It is a wonderful pattern that is reminiscent of a fair isle sweater that one would wear for Christmastime. I love the bright colors and the lovely script words across the bottom. And on the back is a beautiful pattern with gingerbread men, hot cocoa, a cute Christmas cupcake, candy canes, peppermints, and the word "yum." It's a pattern of sweet Christmas treats, and I just want to eat it up.

This next add-on 12x12 patterned page is called, "Let it Snow...Man!" It is a very pretty, pink patterned paper with a cute little snowman and a flurry of snowflakes all around him. And on the back is a very cool print that says "fa la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaah." I love it - it's so much fun, and so silly.

The next add-on paper is called, "Time to Put Your Christmas Mask On," and it is very specifically themed to Christmas 2020 and our current Covid situation. The masks say Christmas-y things like "Ho Ho Ho" and "Jolly" and inspire us to make this Christmas the merriest, despite our current circumstances. And on the back is a lovely green on green geometric pattern.

The last add-on paper is called, "Stay at Home...For the Holidays," and it is also Covid-Christmas-themed. On the front we have 3x4 and 4x6 cards - one of my favorites is the "Stay at home for the holidays" card with the cute Christmas house on the front of it. Another favorite is "M is for Merry...and for Mask." But my absolute favorite has to be the Santa card which states "Santa says, Don't be Naughty, Wear Your Mask."

And finally, I would like to look at the two specialty paper options that come in this collection. The first is called, "Season's Greetings," and it is a scenic view of a lovely and quaint little snow-covered village up in the mountains. Santa is overhead with his reindeer, snow covers the ground along with cute little pine trees, there are lots of sweet little vintage houses, and a church, and, as you can see, there are no people outside, only animals, because all the people are social distancing and staying at home with their families this Christmas. A couple of cars are on the road to pick up groceries for the family Christmas meal, and, of course, a lovely Christmas tree. On the back is a lovely, red and green, Christmas floral.

Now, while the first specialty paper depicts what Christmas looks like this year, in 2020, I made the second specialty paper to depict a scene that I'm hoping will represent our Christmas future (i.e. next year, and going forward). It's a Christmas where we can all gather together again for one big Christmas party with all our friends and family. I absolutely love this page, and I hope you do. I think it's super duper cute, with all the little people in their Christmas best celebrating the holidays in this super cute Christmas house. And on the back, we have a pattern of all those adorable people, and I absolutely love that, too. For each kit you can choose between the first or second specialty paper, and whichever one you choose will come with a sequin mix that matches the collection. (Or you can buy them both, if you like.)

Now let's look at the embellishments that are in "The Merriest". I love the embellishments in this collection. First, let's look at the glitter foam stickers that come in "The Merriest." These glitter foam stickers are way cute, and come in both red and pink glitter foam words and shapes. The pack includes words such as "Merry Christmas," "Naughty," "Nice," "Merry and Bright," etc, and shapes such as a little Christmas present, a snowflake, and a Christmas tree.

The next embellishment to look at is our flair button set. In this pack you will receive seven flair buttons, and they're all adorable. Some of my favorites are the little Christmas rainbow, the little reindeer, and the hot cup of cocoa.

Now let's look at our ephemera pack. The ephemera packs that we make for each collection are always really special and very popular, and I think you can see why. I love this ephemera pack. Everything in it is way cute, but some of my favorites include the cute little Christmas houses, the Christmas pennants, the little Christmas camera, and all the little Christmas animals. I also really love the Christmas rainbow and all the beautiful snowflakes.

Next we have our sticker sheet. The sticker sheet in this collection is a little different than sticker sheets we've done before, as these are clear-backed as opposed to white. I love the way the clear stickers look when you put them on your pages and tags and cards, etc. I especially love the clear word stickers that say things like "Home for the Holidays!" Very cute!

And finally we have a set of acrylic shapes in this collection. I love these acrylic shapes. They're definitely one of the favorite embellishments in the collection, and they include stars, gingerbread men, snowflakes, and little trees. And they come in colors of red, white, mint, and sparkly silver!!!

Now let's move on the planner pages. These are our 6 x 8 1/4 and 4 x 7 pages that we refer to as planner pages, but they also work great as mini album pages, as framed art pieces, banner pieces, and more.

Our first planner page features a really cute snowman (somehow surprised by all the snow falling around him) with “Let it Snow” in fun script below him. And on the back is a vintage-inspired graphic with the text of “jingle all the way.”

Our next planner page has our cute Christmas rainbow on the front and a very useful blank calendar on the back, with the two drawn versions of us (Andrea and Ryan) around the Christmas tree. Happy Holidays!

Next, we have a planner page featuring our dancing Santa on the front, and on the back, appropriately, is a really cute, vintage, pink record player.

Next, we have our first “storybook” planner page. This one features the house from our “Christmas Future” specialty 12x12 with the story of the gathering written our below it. And on the back is the text from that Christmas classic, “Have yourself a merry little Christmas.”

Next we have another vintage-graphic-inspired page with the sentiment “Have a holly jolly day!” On the back is an awesome sentiment, and the page features all of the cute characters in the collection

Our last planner page has our super cute Rudolph on the front, and our other “storybook” scene on the back, featuring our snowy, mountain village, and Santa and his reindeer flying through in the background.

Oh, almost forgot...here are the add-on journaling pages! They are super duper cute and so useful for documenting the holiday season in any kind of daily album you are creating for Christmastime or December. I absolutely love them! Perfect for your holiday journaling needs!

Alright, that is it for our new collection, "The Merriest". You can subscribe to get your kit, or order here now! Obviously some of you already know everything that is in it since the pre-orders and subscriber orders went out a little while ago. However, now anyone who didn't get the collection yet, can see it in all its beauty and can make their purchase, yaaaaay! I am sorry that the full reveal and regular order option for this collection is coming so late in the holiday season. All I can say is that I am doing very, very badly right now with my CRPS condition. I have spoken about this on instagram and so I wont go into it too much here....but when I say that this collection was made through screams, sweat, and tears...well, that is absolutely the truth. It was a difficult thing, trying to get a Christmas collection out this year. Sometimes it is quite hard for me to get these products designed and manufactured for you. Ryan and I do it all ourselves. And this time was especially hard. However, we won’t stop. We won’t quit. We keep on creating because we love what we do and we know you all love it so much too! And that makes it so worth it!!! I want to thank everyone for their kindness and compassion and patience during this particularly rough time. And I also want to thank all those who sent prayers and happy thoughts and kind words while I have been struggling. Thank you so much!!! I think Christmas this year is rough for all of us...and I really hope that this collection offers to you all a bit of hope and brightness! I hope it helps you document your holidays in a way that is joyful and that it reminds you to make your days “The Merriest” that you possibly can!!! Huuuugs everyone!!! And Happy Holidays!!!!

"The Merriest" | New Collection Sneak Peek!!!

December Daily Decorating Our Tree with Carrie

Hello Everybody, Carrie here with day 2 in my December Daily 4x6 album. I’ve used more of the lovely December Dreams Kit to tell the story of decorating our Christmas tree, and how much my daughter loves to “decorate” ; )

To start off I added the brown heart die cut directly onto my 4x6 photo along with a Santa hat from Little B. I super love how the goldfish ornament is swimming among the other ornaments, and thought he would look cute with a hat and a heart.

On the opposite page is a 3x4 photo with “OUR TREE” written in the Thicker font Happy Life, again placed directly onto the photo. Next to it is a 3x4 shaker pocket with the number 2 punched out into a circle from one of the cut apart sheets. I’ts slightly popped up using foam adheasive and layered over another circle that is only slightly larger which was punched from one of the 12x12 papers. They are attached to a 3x4 piece of transparency and I added in a few aqua and gold sequins.

To keep with the same shape on the opposite side of the shaker pocket, I added another of the larger circles punched from the same 12x12 paper. This time instead of layering it with the date I punched out the pink and green “joy” from one of the cut apart sheets. Since the circles are mounted on both sides of a 3x4 piece of transparency I decided to add some more of the same sequins into this side to complete the shaker. Next to it is another 3x4 photo of our tree.

For the final page of this spread I chose the beautiful bow paper and cut a 4x6 card from the 12x12 sheet. I added the “Mama, let’s decorate.” using the same Thickers, but this time used gold instead of rose gold. To add my journaling, I ran the blue label from one of the cut apart sheets through my typewriter and popped it up slightly using some foam paper layered over a pink tag also from the same cut apart sheet. To add just a little extra something I also added an orange eyelet to the tag. As a final bit of embellishment I placed three of the stars from the die cut pack across the 4x6 card and layered enamel stars and dots from Studio Calico Seven Paper for added dimension…..and that’s it.

Thanks so much for taking a look at today’s project and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

Fairytale Christmas Workshop Review

Hello everyone! It's me, Andrea, here today, and I want to share with you all a quick little review of our Fairytale Christmas Workshop that we had in December. It was so wonderful and magical and just filled with so much fun and creativity! I had such a wonderful time and I was so pleased to hear from the ladies that attended the workshop that they really, really enjoyed themselves as well!

So for those of you who don't know, whenever we can, we try, here at the Fairytale Club, to host fun events and classes for our awesome Fairytale Club Customers. We have done events at Disneyland in the past and we have done springtime events and Halloween events...but this time we thought we would try to do things a little bit differently and we decided to host a Christmas Workshop in Diamond Bar, CA and have a couple of classes with a couple of really awesome papercrafting projects for our guests to work on while they enjoyed a Fairytale themed Christmas party with yummy food, lots of prizes, a photobooth, and of course, an awesome Disney Christmas kit that was made especially for the event!

The kit that I designed for this event, as a specialty kit/collection, is called "Christmas-land" and is all about Disneyland at Christmastime! It is so beautiful and filled with so many fun Disney-Christmas goodies like cute pics of Mickey and Minnie under the mistletoe, a Holiday version of Small World, and Santa with a Mickey Mouse hat on!

Each person at the Christmas Workshop received this very special kit with all the pretty 12x12 patterned papers and 6x8 decorative pages, and the cute embellishments like the ephemera pack and the variety pack and decorative paperclips! In addition to all those goodies, they also each received some chipboard covers and binder rings to build their Disney Christmas mini-album with (the first class project we worked on during the Workshop), and a white chipboard memorydex box (which was for the second class project).

We all had the greatest time in both of the super fun Christmas classes that I and Carolee taught for the Workshop! We worked on my Mini-Album class first and then we moved on to Carolee's Memorydex class. In our classes we showed the ladies some fun and different ways to document the Holiday season! And we gave them some great tips and tricks to creating and decorating their mini-albums and memorydex boxes for Christmastime!

During the Workshop, while we crafted, we chatted and we ate and played Disney trivia and gave away prizes! It was such a fantastic time! Everyone walked away with at least one prize, if not more (and there were so many cool prizes -- disney prizes, scrapbook prizes, planner prizes, decorative prizes). And the Disney trivia game that we played to give the prizes out was so much fun and so funny -- some girls thought the questions were hard, other Disney experts in the group thought it was easy, but everyone got the answers right (with a little help here and there sometimes from friends :-) ) and everyone laughed and had a great time and everyone was a winner! Which is the best kind of game -- one where everyone wins!

Oh, and I have to talk to you about the photobooth!

Our photobooth that we set up for the event was absolutely fantastic! It was our Fairytale Club Lemonade stand and we filled it with lots of pretty Christmas decorations! And we also had some really adorable decorative enlargements of some of our Disney Christmas pieces from our "Christmas-land" kit (like the Snow-Mouse and the Gingerbread-Mouse)!

The decor for the booth, and really the whole party, was vintage and Disney and Christmas themed and it was all so beautiful! There were trees and wreaths and garlands everywhere and cute little touches like little vintage reindeer and vintage Mickey Mouses here and there! It was all very, very cute and oh so magical!!! It was truly a Fairytale Christmas workshop!!!

Alright, well I hope you have enjoyed this fun review of our Fairytale Christmas Workshop that we had in December. It was such a fun event with such cool classes and projects and such a lovely group of people that attended too! It was just wonderful!

Thank you to everyone who came to our Workshop and tomorrow we will be sharing some more up-close pictures of the magical Disney Christmas projects that we worked on in the classes so stay tuned for that too! And stay tuned for more of our Fairytale Club Christmas wrap up this week!

Huuuugs everyone!

Aimee's "Christmas-land" Mini Tag Album

Hey Fairytale Club Fans, this week our Design Team Members will be sharing some of their favorite projects they created this season using our 2 Christmas Kits “December Dreams” & “Christmas-land”!

First off we have Aimee with a Mini Tag Album using “Christmas-land”.

---

Hi there, Aimee here!

Have you all seen the Christmas-land kit? You know the one Andrea and Carolee did a workshop with.

Well it’s even better in person. Like way better! It’s so awesome, I made my husband take me to Disneyland on Christmas Day, just to take pictures so I could use the christmas-land kit and make this Album TRUE STORY!

And this mini tag album came out WAY better than I could have ever dreamed! For this album I used 2 of the 12x12 papers from the kit “Christmas at the Park” and “All I want for Christmas is a castle!” and some bookmark tags from my stash.

I printed all the photos I wanted to use with my Instax share printer. I cut up the 12x12 papers into the 3x4 journaling cards. I also used a few of the tags too.

I then placed the 3x4 cards with the bookmark tags and photos. Once I was happy with which tag went with what photo and what card, choose die cuts from the die cut pack that went with each pile of cards. When everything was placed, I adhered the photos to the bookmark tags. You can find a video of this on my YOU TUBE Channel.

I then stamped each photo with a different sentiment form a roller stamp. I also embellished each card/tag with puffy stickers and stickles to give them some added depth. Once I was happy with all of the embellishments, I punched a hole in the top of each card/tag.

I choose the “all I want for Christmas…” Journaling card as my cover for this album.

I attached a decorative pom pom paper clip to the top. I then placed all the cards on to a large binder ring and this created the album.

To create the bell dangle, I used a tassel from my stash along with some jump rings. I added 1 or 2 bells from the Christmas-land Variety pack to each jump ring and continued until I had used all the bells. I just love this addition to my album.

I also made some shaker tags (with my fuse tool and all the goodies from the Christmas-land Variety pack). OMG I love these. I think by far this was the best addition to my mini. This was the first time making this type of tag, and I think it turned out so AWESOME. I just traced the bookmark tag with a sharpie, I then ran my fuse tool (against a ruler to keep my lines straight) on the inside of the sharpie, I fused 4 sides before adding all the goodies, and then sealed the tag from the top. To make the hole (so it would be closed and the glitter wouldn’t come out) I burned a hole through the sleeve with a rounded tip.

Do you enjoy making Mini Albums?

XOXO Aimee

Aimee's Santa Visit

Hi all Aimee here, hoping you had a great Christmas and New Year! Today I’m sharing a layout I made using the “December Dreams” Kit.

I took my little dog Jager to see Santa at the Mall and of course I had to scrap it!

My layout is an 8.5 x 11 and I used an A5 dashboard from the December Dreams kit as my back ground. Who knew that an A5 dashboard fits perfectly onto an 8.5 x 11 layout!

I fussy cut the tree from another one of the A5 dashboards. Using some 3-d adhesive foam, I layered it over my photo. (Don’t forget that cute little deer that’s layered over the tree.) I also cut some scallops from “Land of Snowflakes” and stitched them to the top and bottom of that A5 dashboard.

When I was stitching the scallops on to my cardstock, I also stitched on a snowflake and “ticket” from the die cut pack for fun. I also used 3-d foam adhesive to pop them up and layer them on top of my photo.

Next I took “Merry” + “Christmas,” and, using more 3-d foam adhesive, I placed these die cut words at the top of my page.

To finish off my layout I used a date roller stamp to date the visit to Santa.

Do you take your pets to see Santa?

XOXO Aimee

Solange's "December Dreams" Tags

Hey everyone, Solange here with another project using the “December Dreams” kit. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season with tons of crafting.

In today’s project I made two tags which you can use as decor in packaging or include in a tag flip or just send as a goodie to a penpal.

To create the tags I simply cut them out of the 12x12 papers using another tag from my stash as a guide. Tags are super simple to decorate because they are small and therefore you’ll only need a few things to dress them up.

For the first tag, I fussy cut the reindeer from the cut apart sheet and then just added two ephemera pieces to finish it off .

For the other tag I fussy cut a tree from the cut apart sheet and the big tree from the dashboards. I glued the big tree right onto the tag but I added foam tape to the smaller tree to make it stand out and give the tag some dimension. I also added the cute fairy from the ephemera pack on foam tape to make her the center of attention. To finish it off I added the beautiful tassel that came in the kit which gives the tag some texture and an interactive element.

I hope this has inspired you to make some cute and easy tags using your “December Dreams” kit and I’ll see you next time.

Xoxo, Solange .

Adeline's "December Dreams" Traveler's Notebook

Hi my Fairy friends,

It's Adeline today for a merry, week layout in my traveler notebook. I use this traveler for my weekly planning so this week is the holidays : Christmas is coming! So let's see my week decor with the “December Dreams” kit - ephemera, paper, and flair buttons.

Kiss from France,

Aimee's Disney "December Dreams" Layout

Hey all Aimee here on the eve x2 of Christmas Eve, Say What? Really it’s a thing!

Anyways, I am throwin’ it back today with a Christmas layout using the “December Dreams” kit.

This photo of my husband and I was taken at Disneyland in 2009. Look how skinny he was!

We started dating in 2009, so at that time he really didn’t say no to Disneyland. I remember dragging him to Disneyland the week of Thanksgiving that year. I think he about killed me. But I’m so happy I have these photos and memories.

I really went out of my comfort zone with this layout. I rarely use such a busy background for my layouts.

For my 8.5 x 11 layout, I started off my trimming down the clear acetate sheet “You Have the Key” to fit inside my white cardstock. Next I used one of the A5 dashboards to give my layout a nice pop of red.

I layered some of the die cuts with 3-d adhesive foam, in different thicknesses at the bottom left corner of my page. For another added affect, I added some red eye lash thread amongst my die cuts. I used my tiny stapler to attach the thread to my layout.

And don’t forget the tiny die cut stars that I stapled to the top left side of my layout!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by the blog today, I’m sure you have a ton of things to get done before the BIG day next week.

Do you have all your shopping, decorating, crafting done?

XOXO, Aimee
