Do you feel like the holidays sneak up on you every year?
Between baking, shopping, wrapping, last-minute gift-giving, and everything else, I often find myself feeling anything but merry.
This year, I decided to get an early start on my Christmas crafting, and I want to give you a chance to start early, too.
As my gift to you, for the next 25 days, I’ll be sharing a Christmas craft that includes a FREE pattern or design, step-by-step tutorial, and video to celebrate 25 Days of Craftmas!
