Holidays
Story by Stacy for the Win!
As we approach the end of December and the end of 2018, not only is it a time for thinking about your New Year’s resolution(s) for 2019, but it’s also a great time to reflect on this past year.

Every year I have grand plans of creating wonderful handmade gifts for friends and family. And inevitably every year, time gets away from me and I don’t accomplish nearly as much as I’d like!

Winter Flurries Box
I love snow. And snowflakes. A lot actually. I’m drawn to snowflake stamp sets, dies, wrapping paper–you name it. If it has snowflakes, I most likely will love it! So now that I no longer see it regularly like I did when I grew up in the Midwest, I relish the opportunity to use it in my crafting! 🙂
