A Month of Tutorials and Giveaways
Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 6:00AM 
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! With presents to buy, gifts to wrap, food to prepare, decorations to hang, songs to sing, friends and relatives to visit, and traditions to share, the next few weeks will be some of the busiest of the entire year.
In the Christian calendar, the period leading up to Christmas is known as Advent, a time of preparation for “an arrival that has been awaited”. The season begins on the 4th Sunday before Christmas (this year, November 28th) and lasts for four consecutive Sundays. To celebrate and prepare for the Christmas holiday, each Sunday of Advent I will be posting a tutorial for a simple Christmas tree ornament, some of my favorites from years past. And, since this is the season of giving, I will be giving away the ornament each week as well. Simply leave a comment on the Sunday post or tutorial and I will randomly pick a winner on the following Tuesday.
I also have some special Bags of the Week to share with you, in keeping with the Christmas spirit, and another tutorial for a Santa-inspired tote bag. I will be posting lots of gift ideas as I make my list and check it twice, as well as another giveaway or two. I am going to be a busy little elf in the month of December and I am planning to share it all with you. Check back often. Or even better, subscribe to my RSS feed which will send you an email each time I post something new. Click on the link on the right side of this page to subscribe.
