I'm finding myself smack in the middle of Christmas crafting season with absolutely NO time to craft! It drove me batty for the first week or so, but now I'm settling in and thinking I'm enjoying it. So what if I haven't started the first page of my Journal Your Christmas album yet? I've taken the photos and done the fun stuff and enjoyed it, and that's what counts, right? I can always document it later. I am totally not stressing about it!
For those of you who do have a little crafty time on your hands, I've got some fun picks for you this week!
