12 days of CHRISTMAS with IMAGINISCE ...

The Imaginisce 12 Days of Christmas Hop has started.  Together with Tomomi Hiramaru, I am hosting the Blog today so pop on over to Imaginisce and say "hi" to us there.  Remember that there are AWESOME prizes being given away everyday  until the 13th December so leave comments wherever you can (on each of the hosting Designer's Blogs as well as the Imaginisce every day of the Hop to stand a chance of winning) - as always Imaginisce is extremely generous ....

This is an Advent I created for my son, Bryce.  I wanted him to be mindful of what this Season is all about - not just gifting and eating and decorating tress - but the REAL meaning behind the festivities, so I wrote out a Scripture on the back of each Tag ...
