I know it's not Christmas yet, but it's just been on my mind lately. At work, we are decorating and putting out Christmas items. In fact, we even have Christmas music on...if you can believe that! I've also been planning a cookie exchange for December. (You'll see the invitations soon). So with all this Christmas around me, "visions of sugarplums" were dancing in my head...

Good luck to all the other projects in the challenge...there are so many talented crafters out there! Just imagine what YOU could do...
