The 12 Days of Christmas is a month long online workshop of holiday
creating. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the month of November I will
post new projects that will include a supply list, tools needed and step by
step instructions to complete each project. There will be a total of at least
15 tutorials. Some projects will come with a template to make the creative
process a bit easier and each featured project has close up color photos. All
the projects are designed so you can use items you already have on hand or
create them exactly like the sample.
The cost for this online workshop is $19.95 and will be
available from November 1st – December 15th. Once payment
is received you will be sent a password to enter this private forum starting
November 1st. Then it’s time to get out the glitter, trims, papers and
embellishments.
Since this will be a place that is all about the holidays I
will include downloadable images from my stash of favorite vintage holiday
sheet music and postcards. I will share with you some of my favorite family
recipes, holiday quotes and photos of some of my favorite holiday decorations over
the years. I hope you too will share cookie recipes, holiday traditions and
decorations as I love to see how others celebrate and decorate during the
holiday season.
