Truly a Festival of Trees!

I can’t tell you how good it is to be crafting again.  Life got in the way and I wasn’t able to play with my pre-order goodies until now.  There’s nothing like a deadline to focus the mind and blow those cobwebs away, and once you get in the groove – it’s chocks away!

Some of you might think it is far too early for christmas, but there are others who are anxious to get the ball rolling making their christmas cards and stagger production in the coming weeks to prevent a last minute panic in December!  For years, as Demos, we’ve been asking Stampin’ Up! to give us our seasonal catalogue earlier in the year so that Halloween addicts could get in on the act in good time, and with Halloween there is also Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies too!

Here’s the list of supplies:
