Snowman Love

Happy New Year's Eve! Hard to believe we are about to say good-bye to 2011. Where did it go? I wanted to share my anniversary card for my parents. Their anniversary is next month so some snowman love is perfect! This image is from Fresh Brewed Designs, a digital called Snow in Love. I used my copics on it along with a little Stickles. The sketch is from a new challenge blog called Seems a Little Sketchy. Their sketches are every other Monday so you still have time to play along since this is the first week. You also have time to play along with the Christmas themed month long challenge over at the Fresh Brewed Blog.

Enjoy your last day of this year. Stay safe and best of everything in 2012.

I've Got the Blues

Hello and Happy Thursday! Wow, hard to believe it will very soon be 2012! I feel like I just got the hang of writing 2011 for the year!! Since it's Thursday, that means a new challenge over at Paper Lovin' Gals. Here is your photo to find inspiration from. Isn't it fabulous?!



And here's my card using the two shades of blue (Pacific point and Tempting turquoise) and the general layout of the rosettes. I turned it into a birthday card 'cause I needed one!!! Now I am so anxious to see what everyone else comes up with, because this photo REALLY gave me grief! You all are such an inspiration to me. I want to wish all of you a very Happy and Safe New Year!

Hello My Feathered Friends

I do love my feathered friends. I have an array of bird feeders for different types of birds. With a wooded back yard and waterfall amongst the landscape, birds of all kinds come and say "hello" at my feeders. I had to move the vast array of feeders that I have onto my deck because the deer were forever eating it all when they were in the yard. Only one problem, I now have squirrels and raccoons climbing up onto my deck to eat out of the feeders. I have to bring them inside at night because I'll take a squirrel over a night time scavenger of a raccoon any day!

Believe me, my bird story does have a purpose on this Sweet Sketch Wednesday of a day. Our sketch is another winner...and speaking of winner, this week our sponsor is...


A Day for Daisies. The prize up for grabs is a $12 gift certificate for the store of A Day for Daisies.



Now here's my card and the reason behind my bird story! This sweet image is called Birds for Bree. I used Copic markers to bring her to life as well as the beautiful Basic Grey papers Picadilly. I thought of a few of the birds that visit me everyday and decided to color these birds the same way for Bree! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the Sweet Sketch Wednesday DT members created, they are sure to inspire.

Happy Snowflakes

And I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day! With the kids being a little older, the need to get up at the crack of dawn to open presents is no longer...thank goodness!! I found my way into my craft room this evening and made a card for the Catch the Bug challenge - red, pink, blue and a touch of glitter. I used the Bugaboo Stamps fabulous image Snowman Bells. All my papers, card stock and designer, were once again from my scrap bin!!! LOVE IT!!

We're traveling tomorrow to my parents for the holiday. The weather sounds like it will cooperate, which is always a good thing!

Hello Friend

And Merry Christmas!! Okay, it's Christmas Eve at this very moment, but the house is so quiet, the presents are wrapped and under the tree, and I got it all done before 2am!!!!! HOORAY!! I got my PaperTrey Ink order today and had to play with my new filigree border punch. Isn't it beautiful?!! On my desk was this digi and sentiment, both from Clear Dollar Stamps. The flamingo is from the Tall Trio Color and the sentiment is from Turtle Greetings. A perfect little card to send to a friend with a nice note inside. Sure beats getting bills in the mail all the time!!!! Anyway, I'm off to make some popcorn and watch a movie, don't know what it will be. Have a wonderful Christmas morning opening up all those presents!!!! I know I will!!!

So Much Inspiration

What a festive picture! What inspires you? That's what our challenge is all about at Paper Lovin' Gals, use whatever speaks to you from a photo and create something with it. I loved the Christmas trees and the colors, greens and silver. Let me tell ya though, I wish someone would come to my house and decorate like this for the holidays!!


Here's my card with a silver embossed tree, several greens and brushed silver card stock. The tree is from an old Stampin' Up set called Scandinavian Season...a must have stamp set for me that I don't think ever saw ink until now!!!!! How sad is that??!! A simple card with lots of texture and shine. Now please join us this week for our challenge, we love seeing what you create. And tell all your friends about our weekly inspirational challenges at Paper Lovin' Gals.

Merry & Bright

So, are you ready for Christmas? I am far from it!!! But I'm still in the spirit of Christmas card making!!!! And it all started with this fabulous sketch from Arlana of Sweet Sketch Wednesday.




This week is our ever popular and very generous sponsor Digi Stamp Boutique. Sally Ann is offering the winner 6 FREE digital stamps of their choosing!!! All I can say to that is...WOW!!!



And here is my card using the totally adorable image Sketchy Snow Person. If you love snowmen like me, then this is a must have!!!! My colors of card stock include brown, red and green while my dsp is scraps I found on my desk from another project that ended up being rejected!!!! They worked great together here! I hope you can find some time to play our sketch challenge this week.

The Night Before Christmas

I know, it isn't Christmas Eve yet, and thank goodness for that because I am far from ready!!! I have seen some challenges in the past asking to use non-holiday stamps and turn them into a Christmas card. As soon as I saw this image from Fresh Brewed Designs called Night Owl I knew exactly what I wanted to do. This owl brought to mind that wonderful poem "The Night Before Christmas." I thought of the line at the beginning: "And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap." If you want to read the whole poem, check out my post on the Fresh Brewed Blog. The sentiment was one of our freebies in the 12 Days of a Sentimental Christmas. I hope you had scooped all of them up because you should now have a wonderful array of holiday sentiments.

I finished baking all my Christmas cookies...finally. They really seemed like a chore this year. Now I need to finish up my shopping and do more wrapping. It's not like I don't know when Christmas is every year, but I never seem to ever be ready!!!! Thanks for stopping by.

White as Snow

Hello and welcome to this month's Clear Dollar Stamps Blog Hop. This month's theme is "White as Snow." Now you should have arrived here from Christi's blog. If not, please head back to the CDS blog to start at the beginning. A blog hop always means a fun prize and this one is no different. A winner will be chosen randomly from one of the DTs' blogs, so increase your chances by commenting on them all!!

Like I said, the theme this month is "White as Snow." I have been so lovin' the white on white cards I've been seeing in galleries and on blogs that I had to give it a whirl. I used the stamp set Christmas Scriptures and followed the sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy. You have no idea how hard it was for me not to add color, but I stuck to it and kept it white!! The three different embossing folders helped as did popping up the sentiment layer as well as the very bottom layer to the main card.

This is your last stop on our hop today. I want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am still trying to get ready for it all, guess I'd better hurry!!!

Warm and Fuzzy

Oh my goodness, I found this card that I made last weekend and realized I never posted here on my blog!!! It was made for the Warm & Fuzzy challenge for last weekend's VSN at SCS (that stands for Virtual Stamp Night at Split Coast Stampers!!!). I used from Clear Dollar Stamps a pre-colored digital image from Bunny Slippers. I pulled out some paper scraps to make up this card, adding a little ribbon and tiny white pearls. Oh, and it's my favorite size of card too, 4.25" square. Speaking of Clear Dollar Stamps, we are having our monthly blog hop tomorrow starting at 11am EST, so hope to see your there!!

I'm hoping to get the last of my Christmas cookies baked this weekend. Only 5 more kinds to go!! Three are bar cookies so they will get done super fast, one is no bakes, and the last one is a drop cookie that makes a large batch of yumminess!! So not too bad!! Wish me luck!!!

My Snowman

Today marks the final day of our 12 Days of a Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs! I sure hope you have scooped up each and every one of 'em! And a little elf told me there might be more than one freebie today!!!!! HOORAY!! Check it out HERE. I know you're tired of hearing me say how much I love snowmen, but I do!!! So this sentiment was perfect for me to use with the fabulous image My Snowman. And did you notice, it's on sale too!!! Thank you so much for visiting and leaving such wonderful comments. Now I'm going to ask that you thank Heather, owner and artist of Fresh Brewed Designs, for her kindness and generosity during these 12 days of free sentiments and images. Leave a comment on today's post at the Fresh Brewed Blog...and tell her Linda sent ya!!!! Hehe!

Digi Day

Yes, this is my third post for today, so be sure and browse your way thru them all!! Today is digi release day at Clear Dollar Stamps!!! It was hard holding back from spilling the beans earlier about these images, they are all soooooo wonderful. Check 'em all out HERE on the CDS blog. This card uses Window Box Wishes Color. You may recall this as an acrylic stamp, well now it is in digi form!! I love using the color versions of digi stamps as well as the coordinating papers, it makes for one quick card!!


Here is my "what else can I do with this set" card for the Christmas Cupcake Wrappers. I printed off the wrapper three times, cut it out, scored it and folded them all. I then used score it tape and adhered my three sections together and formed a rosette. Let me tell you, it took lots and lots of manipulating to get this in a somewhat round shape!! If you try this, be patient!!! The Merry Christmas circle center is also from the set as is the coordinating paper. The pink strip with all the rhinestones on was strategically placed to try to cover up two of my three seams.


And now we move on the Valentine's Day with Heart Hugs. Again I used the color version and lots of scrap papers!!! I was on such a roll with making cards that I ended up using the thank you sentiment that is part of this set instead of the Happy Valentine's Day. I hate when I do dumb things like that! And what's worse, it took me several days to realize my mistake!!!!! I'll blame it on holiday stress!

Speaking of the holidays, sure hope your preparations for it are going smoothly. I always say I work better under pressure and that's why I'm never prepared ahead of time! Well the pressure is getting to me so it's time to sit back, take a deep breath, and remember the true meaning of the Season. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Merry Christmas Baby

It's the last two days of our Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. As you can see, the freebie today is "Merry Christmas Baby," and you can find it HERE. I paired this sentiment up with Snow in Love. Aren't they a really cool couple??!! I went with paper that was sitting right on my paper cutter in hopes of using it up, but no such luck. I was also a bit distracted when making this, I was watching "Top Chef" at the time. I am pitiful, I know!!! Can't wait to see what you create with this sentiment. Be sure to post it to our Christmas theme challenge over at the Fresh Brewed Blog. And this is my second of three posts for today so be sure and check 'em all out!!


Christmas Goodies - YUM!

Yes, I make loads of cookies every year for Christmas, but believe me, they never look like this, beautiful AND delicious!! Welcome to another photo inspiration challenge from Paper Lovin' Gals. What inspires you? The first thing that came to mind for me was the snowman...and I love snowmen!


So a snowman it is!! I guess I should clarify myself by saying I love all snowmen, except the kind I have to go outside in the cold, cold snow and make myself!!!! I was warm and cozy inside when I made this one with a die and coordinating stamp set from PaperTrey Ink. I used the colors from the photo too, blue and green. I just might have to make a few more of these and use as my Christmas thank yous! Good idea!! Now be sure to head on over to Paper Lovin' Gals and play along. Make something quick and easy in between your batches of cookies too!!!! Nothin' says lovin' like homemade cookies from the oven!

Merry Christmas

Here we are onto Day 10 of our Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. Your freebie today is the sentiment "Merry Christmas." I paired it with a newly release digital image called Santa - Coffee Lover. I turned this into a gift card holder.



Here's a pic of it open with the fun surprise inside. This had to be the the absolute easiest gift card holder to make, ever!! You can find the video tutorial for it HERE. This is definitely something I can make over and over again and give to all my coffee lovin' friends! Pick up your freebie today and create your own project with it, then join us for the Christmas theme challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog.


Sweet Santa

It won't be long till we hear sleigh bells in the night sky and the Ho Ho Ho of sweet Santa. But what you will see even sooner is the awesome challenge we have for you at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It's actually a blast from the past sketch that we bring out once a month for your challenging pleasure!!! And like every week, we have a wonderful sponsor, and this week it's Bugaboo Stamps.


Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!


If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.




Yes, you see this right, the grand prize winner will receive 7 free digis of their choice!!!! How amazing is that??!!


Now I had the pleasure of working with Stocking Santa Star...isn't he fabulous? I don't think I've ever met a Bugaboo image that I didn't like!! My card is pretty straight forward. My flowers along the bottom were created with a punch that I had no idea I had!!!! Amazing the things you'll find when you clean up your space around you!!!!! Each flower consists of two punched flowers and a rhinestone brad. Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has created at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and leave 'em a little love.

Let it Snow

I can't believe it, today is Day 9 of our 12 Days of a Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. As you can see, Heather has another fun freebie for you, "Let it Snow" and it can be found HERE. I paired it up with another newly release digital image called Girl With a Snowman. It's been great fun making these cards, I get to use up some of my scraps. About 2 months ago I had challenged myself to not buy any more designer paper until my birthday...in September!!!!!! Do you know how many wonderful holiday papers are out there now?!! I'm sure you do, 'cause you bought them!!!!! Hehehe!! And I know there won't be any fabulous papers next year...just kidding!! But I have been strong and not purchased any. I'll let you know how I'm doing in the many months to come.

Now hurry on over to Fresh Brewed Designs and scoop up your free sentiment. Then create something with it and join us for our month long Christmas theme challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog.

Up on the Housetop

I DID IT!!! I completed the 12 Days of Christmas mini challenges over at Bugaboo Stamps challenge blog, Catch the Bug. "On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 12 drummers drumming." And the challenge was to use a Christmas song as inspiration. The instant I saw this image when it was first released, I started singing "Up on the Housetop." This image is called AKV Santa - Chimney and can be found HERE. And you too can sing along with the lyrics to the song here:

Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick

First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Upon on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick

Look in the stocking of little Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill!
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Whistle and ball and a whip that cracks

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick


Christmas Kisses

And warm winter wishes. I can't believe it is Day 8 of our Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. And another day means a different sentiment absolutely FREE, for today only. You can find this freebie HERE, so be sure to scoop it up. Sometimes Heather slips in something else for free, so don't miss your chance at some yummy goodness!! I paired this sentiment up with the newly released digital image Boy With Candy Cane. At first I thought about paper piecing his sweater or scarf then decided to just add texture by using my colorless blender Copic marker. I attempted a plaid which at first looked goofy, so I colored over it. Then I tried again and came up with this design and said "okay, stop, no more!!" Now I can't wait to see how you use this sentiment. Remember, our month long challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog is Christmas, so be sure to enter.

Masculine Plaid

My title tells you what the theme is for days 10 and 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas mini challenges over at Bugaboo's challenge blog, Catch the Bug. Day 10 was to make a masculine card, and nothing says masculine more than a boy sitting in a candy cane dressed up like an elf!!! And if he can pull it off, that's my kind of guy!!!!!! I used the digital image Deacon Christmas - Candy Cane. Still doing the layering I love but trying to keep the embellishments to a minimum. I am also submitting this to the photo inspiration challenge being held at Crafty Sprouts which Bugaboo just happens to be sponsoring!!! I was inspired by the candy cane portion of the picture.



Next is day 11, use plaid. I ended up paper piecing this snow tuber's coat and hat with plaid paper. Looks like they're having fun! This image can be found HERE. I'm using the sketch from this weekend's VSN over at Split Coast Stampers in which it represents a snow globe. Again I used non holiday designer paper but the colors seemed so perfect. One more day and this mini challenge will be complete. I can't believe I have stayed with it from beginning to almost the end! For a chance at some free Bugaboo images, I'll do anything!!! Hehehe!!


Baby, It's Cold Outside

I'm back with a new freebie to show you from Fresh Brewed Designs. Isn't it fabulous??!! You can pick yours up today HERE. This is part of our 12 Days of a Sentimental Christmas. I hope you've been with us everyday and scooping up your freebies. There were some days that an extra free digi was thrown in just for fun!! I paired the sentiment up with the adorable Angel Cake and Mr. Snowman. I loved the bright fun colors of the dsp and just went with it! The days here have been colder, in the 30's. I dread the snow and super cold temps, I am so not a winter person!! Yesterday the sun was shining, and even though it was in the low 30's, I hung some laundry up outside...boy did it smell good when I brought it in. I got another batch of Christmas cookies baked last night too - nothin' says lovin' like chocolate chip cookies from the oven!!!! I am always minus a few cookies because they never make it into the oven 'cause I eat the dough!! YUM!!!!! See you tomorrow.

Sentimental Christmas Day 6

So how have you been enjoying our Sentimental Christmas, 12 days of freebie Christmas sentiments from Fresh Brewed Designs? I know I've been having a blast creating with them! Today's sentiment can be found HERE, but it will only be there for one day, and if you miss it, don't worry, it will be in the shop for purchase. I wanted to highlight this lovely sentiment so I didn't pair it with an image. I also tried to keep the embellishments down to minimum to let the verbage shine. Don't forget our Christmas monthly challenge over at the Fresh Brewed Blog too. We have so much going on and it is all so fun!!!!

Giggles and Mery Wishes!

I am back on track with the 12 Days of Christmas mini challenges over at Catch the Bug. I fell behind a day but now here are the latest two. "On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eight maids a milking." The challenge was to use the theme MILK AND COOKIES. I used the digital stamp Kitchen Ginger - Chocolate Chip from Bugaboo Stamps. This reminds me, I need to get going on my Christmas cookie baking, or poor Santa won't have any when he comes down our chimney!!! YIKES!! Now I know this image is from the Kitchen Ginger line, but it reminds me of the Pillsbury dough boy!!! Hehehe!!



"On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, nine ladies dancing." Today's challenge, make a FEMININE CARD. I used the image Christmas Prim Angel. I am far from a girly girl. As a kid Mom made me wear dresses to school, but I would sneak on a pair of shorts under the dress because I played football with the boys at recess!!! Poor Mom, she always wanted a girl, but she got a tomboy instead! So no pink here!! I got a country vibe from this darling little angel, so blues and reds it had to be. I decided to make a tent card, something I haven't made for awhile. Hey, I added a little glam with Stickles, so a feminine card it is!!!




Mistletoe

Day five of our 12 Days of Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. I sure hope you've been checking in with us each day and scooped up your your freebie sentiment. And did you notice the fun new freebie yesterday? Fabulous wasn't it!!!! Now start creating with your new sentiments and show up what you've got made! You can find today's freebie HERE. Our month long challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog is Christmas, so how perfect is that?!! As you can see the freebie is "I want to kiss you under the mistletoe," and I paired it with the gorgeous Kiss Me Santa Baby digital stamp. A fun and simple card, something I've been trying to do with Christmas cards.



Peace on Earth

I've been trying to stay on track with the 12 Days of Christmas mini challenges over at Bugaboo Stamps challenge blog, Catch the Bug. The challenge for day 7 was to use the above photo for inspiration.



I liked the colors so kept it with the green and red color combo. I used Bugaboo's Bobblehead Christmas Elf. I just bought this image, and at a 50% savings!!! The sketch is from


OWH's Sunday Sketch challenge. Now to go work on Day 8...maybe tomorrow, too tired right now.

Winter Wonderland

I am so not ready for cold and snow! I really would be happy for one day of snow, and that's on Christmas. Guess I need to move for that to become a reality!!! Anyway, here we are at Day 4 of our Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs. For 12 days Heather is offering a different Christmas sentiment absolutely FREE...and I'm going to let you in on a little secret, she might include another freebie sometime so be sure and check it out everyday HERE. I paired the freebie "Winter Wonderland" with the digi Tommy's Snowball Fight. Nothing says winter more than a good snowball fight!! And I'd be happy watching it from indoors!!!!!


Good Tidings

Welcome to another Photo Inspiration Challenge at Paper Lovin' Gals. What a gorgeous pic, don't you think?! So rustic, so calm. But I have to admit to you, I was not calm when it came to creating my card for this photo!!!!! I had a difficult time pinpointing my inspiration, if that makes any sense. I ended up going with the pine green and red colors as well as the snow.


And here it is, and it went together lickety split quick too, thanks to die cuts and embossing folders. I used a Papertrey Ink stamp set called In the Meadow and the coordinating dies for both the stamped images as well as the snow banks. I embossed the mounds of snow with the Swiss Dot embossing folder and the bottom layer with the Snowflakes folder. The smaller "hill" is popped up for that wonderful yummy dimension. I had stamped the sentiment prior to embossing, love that effect. Some Stickles and I am done! Quick to make but oh so stressful to think up!!! Now be sure to check out what the rest of the DT created and join us at Paper Lovin' Gals.

Ahhhhh Christmas...

It is the most wonderful time of the year!!!! Actually, that's the sentiment that you will find free today as part of our 12 Days of a Sentimental Christmas over at Fresh Brewed Designs. Now remember, it will be free for today only, so be sure and scoop it up HERE. Now yesterday Heather snuck in a snowman freebie too, so who knows what you will find each day, so be sure and stop back often. This card is also for our new monthly challenge over at the Fresh Brewed Blog where Christmas is our theme. I used the freebie sentiment along with the digital image A Snowman's Gift. I used Copic markers on him as well as a glitter pen to add the polka dots to his scarf. Another challenge to myself was to use non-Christmas papers - hearts and flowers are definitely not Christmasy, but definitely fun!!!!

Sassy and Sweet Santa

Happy Wednesday!! Not only is it "over the hump day," but it's also a new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. And what a marvelous sketch it is!!!!! Gorgeous Arlana, as always.



Our fabulous sponsor this week is Sassy Cheryl's. You really must check out her digital store! So much fun and whimsy, that's for sure. The prize this week for our winner is a $5 gift certificate to the Sassy Cheryl's store.


Here's my card using the image Jumping Jack Santa. He's doing some exercising to get himself ready for his big production Christmas Eve! I just wanted to use some different colors to go along with these papers that I wish I could remember who they were from!!! Join us this week, we always love to see what you create!

Dear Santa, Define Good!

Hehe!!! Who doesn't love the sarcasm of Stella?!! You can find this and lots of other Stella digital stamps at Bugaboo Stamps. The one I used is called Stella Christmas - Good. I'm submitting this card for Day 6 of the mini Christmas challenges they are having at the Catch the Bug Blog. Today's challenge, humor! Stella always makes me chuckle so how perfect.

In the Meadow we can Build a Snowman

Welcome to Day 2 of our Sentimental Christmas freebies at Fresh Brewed Designs. I love snowmen!! I have a small collection of them that come out every Christmas to be put on display. Heather has a bunch of snowmen in the store, and I used Hearts and Stars Snowman to pair up with this sentiment. Now take a good look at this card, what do you see??? NO DESIGNER PAPER!!!!! I know, I can't believe it either!! Just some fun non-traditional colors of cardstock that I embossed with a snowflake folder. Now be sure to scoop up your free sentiment today only, you can find it HERE. Be sure and create something with it, show it off, and tell all your friends about our 12 days of Sentimental Christmas at Fresh Brewed Designs.
