December 26 – Candy Cane Day

Hello friends! Wow, we’ve survived Christmas! I’m exhaling in relief! Like me, you probably have heaps of Christmas photos to sort through—a delightful “challenge” indeed! Today has been dubbed “Candy Cane Day” according to my friend, Google. With beginnings in 17th-century Germany, these sweet treats were curved to represent the shepherds’ crooks. They later made […]

Think Outside the Album: Gift Tags

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Yule and Winter Solstice, you probably have gifts to wrap.

December 9 – Christmas Card Day

Greetings, joyful crafters! Can you believe it’s only 16 days until Christmas? Astonishing, isn’t it?

His innovative thinking led to the invention of the Christmas […]
