As soon as I am done posting this I am going to finish getting everything set out for our Christmas card class.

The house is relatively cleaned, the card stock is cut, the groceries are bought and the soups made . . . now the only thing left is to set up the tables and all of the stamping supplies for the 30 card Christmas Card Class tomorrow.  I hope everyone likes the Christmas cards they will be making!!

Here is another craft show project I have been working on . . . CD Calendars. They are really fun and easy to make.  Who wouldn't want one of these sitting on their desks!!!

You just take the CD case apart and put the lid on backwards to make a little easel.  I have also seen these where they actually sit on a little wooden easel.

It sure looks like a cold fall day as I sit here typing this.  I guess it will be a good day to spend in my craft room getting ready for technique club tonight and cutting card stock for Saturday.
