New Class!

I know, I know... I've been gone a while but I've been very busy! I've had many requests for Christmas in NYC photo's and photographs of my office with supply lists of what I used in there, as well as Christmas decor photographs so I'll post those soon! But for now I wanted to let you know about my new class at Jessica's site! Here is the description:

I don't know about you, but I loved Christmas as a child! I loved everything thing about it; the smells, the food, the lights, the cheery greetings, and all the family traditions. As an adult, however, it seems as if Christmas has become hectic and sometimes overwhelming. Add the pressures of making the holidays perfect for our children, and Christmas becomes more stress than fun.

When I was little, I loved our advent calendar. Every day, we would anticipate the moment we would get a piece of candy to count down the 25 days of Christmas. My Mother would create a little piece of magic each day for us! As an adult, I want to create that same kind of magic minus the high sugar factor. I wanted to make the advent calendar more about family tradition than treats, but I knew I couldn't keep that up for 25 days with everything else the holidays bring. Thus was born the 12 days of Christmas count down garland.

It's a simple garland made of really cute tags full of family friendly activities, things like visit's from the sugar plum fairy, official notices from the North Pole, and snowflake parties.

You get:

• Step-by-step instructions and photographs of 16 tags.( that way you can chose which 12 you want.)
• 4 of the tags are already designed digital tags that only need to be printed!
• 16 family friendly activity ideas.
• 12 printable number tags.
• And print out activity journaling to add to the back of the tags.

As a bonus with purchase of this class you get 10 percent off any purchase of supplies at Twopeasinabucket.com!

Sounds pretty great right?  But the best part is that I've decided to offer 20% for the first 4 days! So the price is only 5.59 for the whole class. You can pretty much make that back in the 10 percent off at two peas if you buy scrap supplies there!

Here is a photograph of my favorite tag, it's an official notice to your children from a North Pole elf. There are two different printable backs, one for if they have been naughty and need a little warning to behave, or one for positive reinforcement if they've been good!

I'm so excited to do this with my children!  And to celebrate I'm giving away one free class! Just leave your name below and I'll pick a winner tomorrow night!

Oh wow-1st person to comment! This sounds like so much fun! Now that I'm all grown up (with no kids) I try to come up with something to do each year that I can send to my parents so they can have a little fun with the season. This sounds like something that would make them smile and reminisce about their childhood and mine Christmas. I can't wait to take this class!

What a beautiful project. Of course, I wouldn't know about it unless I was an East Coast night owl. Gotta get to bed. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll pick me. Our home could sure use some cheering up this Christmas and your project looks like the perfect way to start. :o)

This is wonderful! I've been trying to get away from the sugar-centered advent calendar also, so this is perfect timing!
