22. *FREE gingerbread house download!

Hello December! It's that most wonderful time of the year! 

It's a time for celebrating with family and friends and gift giving, so we wanted to give all of our lovely blog readers a fun download this month. We all decorated a little Christmas house that is three-dimensional once it's cut out, folded and glued together. You can make a row of them to display on a shelf or mantle or you can get a little more creative and make them into ornaments for your tree. Have fun crafting!

Happy Holidays from all of us! ~ Nina, Bee, Shirley, Jennifer, Julissa and Cally

Hi Everyone! We are so honored to be featured in the latest edition of Where Women Cook magazine! We want to express our heartfelt thanks to Salli Swindell and Nate Padavick of TheyDrawandCook.com for showcasing us.

Here's a link to the magazine which is now on the stands and available at Barnes & Noble. (Click on the link to page 90 (it's not really 90 pages) but keep watching the page numbers go up.)
