Thanks again, sleepingbooty. Those gnomes are interesting on Paper Rose Oh So Sweet Christmas. That one with the round belly reminds me of a glass ornament we used to hang on the tree when I was a child. But I was most intrigued by their houses. Went to their site to get a closer look at the gnomes. Printed off their cut apart sheet and am going to store it with my Christmas stash. Thinking I can turn a gingerbread house die and some triangle dies (or even some rough cut triangles with my trimmer), into some quaint little gnome cottages for the gnomes I already own, some greenery diecuts, and some fluffy snow goop. |

Yes, that Heidi Swapp line looks super Crate Paper-y… Loving the Paper Rose Winter florals and plaids, and the building dies. Those might make my list  |

Oh my, grammadee, this sounds like the most adorable winter project! A home-made gnome village for Christmas... 😍 It's going to be a major undertaking but so worth it. I hope you share the result with us if you make it. 😊 |

Thanks for sharing, @northrigg ! I hadn't seen this. What are AC doing? Releasing a Christmas line in October which means it cannot make it in time for internationals and international vendors. Using a very Crate Paper aesthetic and colour scheme for Heidi Swapp. How weird. More tree-loaded red trucks and VW Beetles, too (kill them with fire!). This doesn't feel like HS to me. Is it possible that AC can't remember who does what under which brand???  |

Another Crate Paper style/copy. Ugh. Not a fan. |

More tree-loaded red trucks and VW Beetles, too (kill them with fire!). They need to stop with the trees on cars. It was cute a few years ago when it first came out, now I loath them. Make it stop. |

I will be glad when the trees on cars are over too.

Button Farm Club has a really cute Simple Stories kit with lots of interactive elements. I’ve bought many other kits of theirs (not DD) and they are always beautiful. This is tempting me more than Ali’s kit at this point. youtu.be/82GDoOdRuiA |

I just got a shipping email from ACOT that my holiday stuff shipped today. Thanks for all the sneak peaks. I didn't buy a ton. Just enough for some project life layouts about Christmas.

I think. Besides the pink and yellow, I'm intrigued and there are some gorgeous ephemera pieces. The leafy floral has my brain spinning too... Aye aye aye, do I need to rethink my December Daily plans?  |

It's so freakin' good. The more I look at it, the more I want it in my hands and building pages. Did you see the title ephemera pack? Such a smart idea! We're in trouble, dawnnikol. We truly are. (I've already forgotten Ali's release between the KP sneaks and this collection  ) |

I feel about the PP release about like I do about being in quarantine right now with my little guy. MEH. Nothing like my 1st grader sitting right next to a little boy (on the first day of school!) who has now ended up sick + Covid positive. Ugh. Quarantine for us yes, but we are all feeling fine thus far. Hoping the other little guy is doing ok.  |

Quarantine for us yes, but we are all feeling fine thus far. Hoping the other little guy is doing ok. What a nightmare, nicolep! I'm so sorry. I hope you will all be ok, including your boy's classmate. This is going to be a Delta Christmas, for sure. We're nowhere close out of this. The French Institut Pasteur's modelisations for the return to school in France (September 2nd) has projected that 50% of coronavirus infections in France this autumn will be school children. Heartbreaking. Sending you corona-free hugs and loads of chill vibes to get through this stressful quarantine period. Hang in there! |

nicolep Sending healing thoughts your way, hopefully your little one doesn't get sick, or it is a very mild case if he does. Ack, I love all things Pinkfresh, and although it is a bit colorful for my more traditional Christmas sensibilities, this line will probably make my list. Am really hoping I *don't* like most of Ali's offering for this year, since I know I will be getting at least some of PP's kit(s)

So strange how we got through last year's school year perfectly fine and then BAM. My sister works in a pharmacy and had made it through the pandemic perfectly fine and then Covid struck her a few weeks ago. She had a tough go of it. She's back at work now but gets exhausted easily. I'm thankful we're all doing well but I do truly hope the other little guy is doing okay with it. |

So strange how we got through last year's school year perfectly fine and then BAM. than the previous strains have. It's just so much more contagious so the numbers in this unvaxxed category are rising rapidly. I'm glad to hear your sister is better again and hope the effects she's currently struggling with will soon resorb and disappear. Keep us in the loop with how things are going during your quarantine, ok? Are you finding ways to keep busy? Is the weather still good for pool time? |

Keep us in the loop with how things are going during your quarantine, ok? Are you finding ways to keep busy? Is the weather still good for pool time? Oh yes. We're living in the pool and he does have some school work to do each day but he loves school so it's in no way a hard part of the day. We eat out on the patio in the morning before it gets too hot in the afternoon and then we swim the day away. There is a family a few houses down from us that has kiddos that he plays with so I made sure to call their mom and let her know to have the kids not come down this week. They go to school together too. I also rescued an elderly, blind little Sheltie almost a month ago so we are just loving on him as his days are numbered. I just had to have him when I saw him. He's a sweet boy and brings us a lot of joy! He's in my Fospice care. (Hospice + Foster) Thanks sleepingbooty. You're the bestest. ♥ |

At last... Pinkfresh Studio's Holiday Magic has been revealed! Get your toothpaste out because this one is loaded with saccharine sweetness. I like it! I think it would be great for warm weather peas. There are a few snowflakes and I spotted a pair of mittens, but it doesn't scream snow. |

nicolep, you have a heart of gold to foster a senior, blind pup. So thankful for people like you! Oh thank you! He is precious! This is the photo I first saw of him on a neighboring county's shelter page. I cried like a baby. No one ever claimed him. He had been found wandering on a state route and had flea infestation so bad that they ate most of his fur off of his back, left side and tail. It is all coming in nicely now though with coconut oil twice a day. He's put on weight and knows his way around my house and backyard already and loves our little 6yr old. He has brought us all a LOT of joy over the last few weeks. ♥ I will maybe make a post on the NSBR side. I had never heard of animal Fospice care before I looked into Ray.  |
