so. the december daily is still a monkey on my back. my ocd tendencies won't seem to let me forget about it or sneak it in with the christmas ornaments, leaving it to be dealt with next year. my current plan is to tackle it around mid-month after i've dealt with some more pressing monkeys on my back.
for those who have never taken an online class and are curious about just exactly what one might be like, torm has an excellent post you should check out. she, janet, and debbie are currently teaching a great thought-provoking journaling class called "sense and sensibility" and tania is teaching a fun creative class called "embellishments beautifully handmade". you can still sign up for both. i'll be teaching a design and technique based class called "product pizzazz" in february.
speaking of online classes, i am dying to take karen russell's chronically sold-out photography class. i am constantly amazed by the way she can make her photos speak. just wow.
the american crafts design team has some fun projects posted spotlighting thickers.
cheryl has a great post on reading. she has me comtemplating the idea of picking up a piece of quality literature this weekend.
if you hurry you can get in on a great giveaway on paula's blog.
dina, of course, has some stunning layouts posted.
considering my kraft addiction, you can see why i'm drawn to these cool new patterned papers by jillibean soup.
i'm one of the privileged few who's seen what jenni has in store for cha-winter. gorgeousness.
aren't lana's photo art creations at lu who just charming?
congratulations mary . . . you cool banana frog you!!!
love this layout doris! i must learn to sew on my pages. lol! and i know that karen's class is so hard to get into now. i was so lucky to get in on the second one she held. i havn't had the time to get into it yet ... but i have over 3 inches of info all ready and waiting for me in a huge binder. and i know it's going to make me such a better photographer when i get to it!

Gorgeous layout, I love the close up photo!
And I'm in the same boat with the December album, it's always in the back of my mind, nagging me.. ;p Thanks for the Jillibean link, those are some cute pps!
