It's Gift Week

We're now into December and that's the perfect time to turn to gift ideas. The DT has some adorable projects to share with you, but first, a little odds and ends -

Our winner of Kim's wonderful prize is.....#11 Marcie! Congratulations Marcie - please contact me with your mailing address at mbryt1@bex.net and I will forward your info to Kim. And a big THANK YOU to Kim for sponsoring! Remember you can stop by Kim's blog and say howdy by clicking HERE.

We have another sponsor this week - one of our former Guest DTs - Debbie Carriere! Here is the package Debbie will be sending one lucky player this week:


Lots of goodies - just in time for Christmas! You can stop by and check Debbie out at Scrappin' My Heart Out. And Debbie has a really great creation to share with you for this week's challenge too so be sure to visit !

The announcement and guidelines for applying for the next round of the Design Team will be posted tomorrow so please check back then and consider applying!

Ok, on to this week's challenge. We are focusing on gift items - NO cards! We want to see what you can create or dress up as a small gift for someone this holiday season. Let's see what the DT has ready to give as a gift this year:







Wouldn't you love to get a sweet gift like these at Christmas? I know I would! So now it's your turn - let's see what gift item you can create. You might just win Debbie's awesome prize package or be in our next Friday Five!

What a perfect challenge this week. I just completed a little gift for my son and posted it on my blog yesterday. It fit this challenge and I'm so glad I got to play this week. Thanks for all the fun and inspiration you offer all of us on H2H each week.
