It is finally the most festive of months! December is a lovely month to enjoy making things. I thought it would be fun to share my enthusiasm for the Christmas season and my love of crafting with you by offering inspirational packs! I have two to give away and two that are in my shop. Because I am lazy I only took photos of the two packs for my shop, but the two I am giving away are nearly alike, they simply have a slightly different selection of buttons and threads. So feast your eyes on the goodies....
My first fun pack features reds, greens, whites, and a bit of aqua and blue thrown in!
I put together a mix of new and vintage prints in the spirit of the season.
Here is the second one, very traditional reds and greens, and like the first pack, it too contains fabrics, ribbons, notions, stickers, flosses:
I love to spread a bit of Christmas cheer!
Yes, a great amount of fun could be had with these and I hope that the two lucky winners will have a ball! If you would like to enter my little give away please simply leave a comment to this post. Comments will close Tuesday, December 8th at 7 am Norwegian time. Soon after I will announce two lucky winners!
I also have two Christsmas inspiration packs in my shop (so sorry, they sold out fast!)
Those are gorgeous combinations... I can think of a few things they could turn into...
:)

Hi Emily!
I love the idea of inspiration packs.
I may have to "borrow" that.
You know what they say:
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that.
(Maybe it should be "inspiration" is the sincerest form of flattery...)
Thanks for such a great idea (and giveaway!)
Your friend,
Rhea

I never particularly enjoyed sewing, but these sets of yours are inspiring me to take it up! Perhaps more so because the fabric designs are definitely unusual for us here :)
