20111115-IMG_3903_600
Over the last few weeks I’ve been busy crafting away in my craft studio.  I made a VERY limited number of handmade holiday papercrafting kit.  I thought I would give one of these holiday papercrafting kits away for my 1,000 blog posts celebration!  Well, the 1,000th blog post actually happened a few weeks ago, but that’s okay, we can still celebrate now!  :D

  14. This is gorgeous!

    Mine is probably Christmas day itself & spending the day at my Grandma's visiting with my family. We visit, have dinner, do presents, & hang out until the kids are changed into their pjs.

  15. Oh Christine this is just phenomenal!!! I adore the coordination and the details you've created here!

    My favorite tradition, until we moved into the moon desert, was going to a Christmas tree farm and finding and cutting our Christmas tree! There's something magical about it.

    Now that we have an artificial tree I really pour my heart in to crafty projects with my daughter and baking & decorating cookies. So fun!

    (Also, Yay for 1,000 posts!! ♥)

  16. This is gorgeous! Such a great assortment of beautifully coordinated goodies! My favorite tradition has to be my husband's reading of The Night Before Christmas to my children. It never ceases to fill my heart with wonder and my eyes with happy tears.

  17. Oh wow this is fabulous Christine! Every last detail is perfection! Congrats on a 1,000 posts!

    My favorite tradition is when we get our tree. We get a live tree every year and we make an all day event out of it from picking out the tree to bringing it home and decorating it. We throw on some Christmas music and have some yummy cocoa while we decorate! We all look forward to it every year!

    Thanks for the chance!

  18. Love your handy work! My friend shared your blog with me and I am grateful. Our favorite tradition is lighting the German Christmas Pyramid and singing silent night with our daughter. When the lights are illuminated and all is dark and peaceful, it feels like the most serene time to thank God for all that is good in our lives and remember those less fortunate. We can't sing, but for some reason when we sing that song during that time it really sounds good and fills our house with Christmas magic!

  19. So super cute! My favorite tradition is giving out Christmas cookies. :)

  20. My favorite has to do with eating! We always have lots of cookies around at Christmas, and they have to be stored in Christmas tins. No Tupperware, only festive tins. Don't know if the tins or the cookies are my favorite part.

    Side note: if the whole accounting thing doesn't work out you need to start making kits. This looks awesome. Can we buy one if we don't win?

  21. This kit looks super cute! And congrats to 1000 blog posts! Its hard to narrow down what my fave holiday tradition is...I love everything about the holidays! Hmm...my daughter loves to pick out a nutcracker every year to add to our collection, she's now 6 and we love baking cookies for Santa and wearing new pjs to bed on Christmas Eve!

  22. My favorite tradition is opening new pajamas on Christmas Eve and then taking a family photo in the morning when we all wake up in our PJs.

  23. You are so crafty! I'm going to consider the fact that you posted this on my birthday a sign that I must enter and try my hand at hybrid scrapping.

    My favorite Christmas tradition is hanging our personalized ornaments. I have personalized ornaments going back 39 years. LOL

  24. I love reading your blog...Hard to pick just one.
    I think my favorite has been playing santa's elf for the last 16 years. We always had Christmas eve at my in laws house and exchanged family gifts. Then as soon as the kids were in bed, off to my sister in laws to wrap gifts from Santa and put them quietly below the tree. Santa sure has yummy cookies and milk too! LOL Leda
