It seems like I have bunches to say on Fridays! I've asked Jen to let me have a couple other days to blog in December but she didn't have any other days to give up! She has lots of great projects to share and I have lots of info to share. Including... we're almost done with the new lines and you're gonna love them! Any guesses?
Can you believe Christmas Eve is a week away? How's your shopping going? I just finished some shopping for friends on Etsy - LOVE that place!
Let's get on with the news and updates...
First up... THANK YOU to everyone that came out for the Toys for Tots Card Bar!!! We raised $947 and lots of toys for this great charity. Not too bad in 4 hours. I even had some cards left over to make as Christmas gifts. :)
Next up... I owe you a SKETCH WINNER! Congrats to Lydia Jackson!!!! Here's Lydia's take on the sketch.

Love it Lydia! Love how you distressed your photo and added the ATC card to the end to make it look like one long piece. Maybe it's the gnome too (he's growing on me). ;) Lydia gets a $50 gift certificate to spend in the Jillibean Soup Consumer Store!
Thank you again Julie Bonner for your great sketch!!!
Tuesday, Jen posted this month's Sketch from Julie. You can see it here. Take a chance at winning $50 of Jillibean goodies!
Next Up...I don't think I shared this yet but Jillibean Soup teamed up with Becky Fleck and PageMaps this month! There's some AMAZING inspiration on the PageMaps page - take a look here!
Are you tired of Penguins? Freehand Scraps' asked us to share their December kit with you - it's accurately titled "Chubby Penguins". Check it out..
They still have this fun kit available!
Finally, Have you been over to Scrapbook & Cards Today blog to participate in their 12 Days of Giveaways? Yes, I told you the wrong date for Jillibean products - they will be up tomorrow, however there are tons of great products being given away on the other days and you can still comment! Good stuff!
Have a great weekend and get your shopping done!
Jill




















Congratulations, Lydia!
Tired of penguins? No way!
I am so excited to see the new lines!

Not tired of penguins. I'd love some elves, really, really cute elves for next year. SCT sent me, too.

Is this where I'm supposed to comment (SCT said we should come to JBS)? I love your stamps and papers. And twine. Well, everything.
