Everything is packaged so nicely that I don't want to take anything out just yet. Yes! I'm lucky that I had extra time. I would just open like one thing at a time to really savor it. |

Happy mail arrived a day early!
I just went through my entire package and all I have to say is wow! There are so many great pieces I cannot wait to use this season.
I have a virtual crop this weekend and hope to make some page kits using these lovely embellishments.
Thanks everyone! 😁

Are there any plans for you all to share the creations with the rest of us once everyone has received and sifted through their packages? I would love to see them, and I'll bet others would as well  |

blemon azcrafty craftmepink mcjunkin susan0911 Ryann pherena sarahsprettypapers pantsonfire rune2484 jenna mom joblackfordI don't know what to say...I am speechless. I literally started to cry. I didn't know what the package was before I opened it, and then all the stuff was in there and it hit me what you all had done and I am just beyond touched at your kindness, generosity and talent. October was hell and November was not too much better and it's just been really hard on DH's family...my MIL was only 66 (single mom) and we still don't understand how this happened...and you just move forward one day at a time. DH would like to pass along a message to you-he said thank you for thinking me at this time. What a gift. I am just having these little packages in front of me and I can hardly touch them, they are so beautiful. (and I don't want to cry on them) I hope at some point I can express my gratitude and give back in some way. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I find it difficult to figure out what goes with what when it’s pictured if the photo has a lot of different elements in an IG photo. If anyone wants to take the time to post what they made individually, I think it may be easier to appreciate them all! |

Spoiler just in case! These are the things I made, Everyone got a Ho Ho Ho tag along with a lil gingerbread die cut, the small circle ephemera was similar but different for everyone and the stamped "merry" was either in red or green. Then I put together some quick cards that I wrote a little message inside. I stacked everything on top of the card and tied them together with a black twine bow and wrapped them in tissue paper. Easy peasy lol  The tag closer, it has a bit of vellum behind the ho ho ho and is sewn together with a shiny silver thread.  |

Thank you guys. I cut out lots of him on the silhouette. Not all of them were surviving...
I don't even know how I'm going to use that in my album. Maybe we'll get photos with Krampus again.
Maybe Big Foot will do a photoshoot.
That would be fun.
