Liebster Award Nom and Upcoming TPT sale!

I hope that you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm stuffed after eating at my dad's house last night with that half of the family, going to my mom's today to eat, and then to the in-laws this evening to eat. I do believe I am oh say..around 30 lbs heavier now...LOL I see some serious walking and exercising in my near future...possibly...unless the couch calls my name before I can get my sneaks on....

I will be participating in the Cyber Sale going on Monday and Tuesday on TPT!!!



Use Promo Code: CMT12

I'll have my December Fun Pack uploaded by then as well as a few other Christmas goodies that you will be able to grab. I hope to also have some more digital papers as well. So stock up and grab and get 20% off of my stuff and TPT is offering another 10% for a total of 28% off of your purchases. I know that my wishlist is FULL of goodies!!
