Currently...

It has been a bit quiet here on the w&w blog this week.  We are taking the time to work on planning for January (and beyond) and resting up and/or recovering from illness (please wish Julie a speedy recovery as she has some nasty bug).

Speaking of January (only a few weeks away!), that is our birthday month and we will be celebrating our first birthday!  We can hardly believe it.  We want to include everyone in on the celebration as you have made it a wondrous and festive occasion.

We will have challenges open all month-long hosted by Julie, Shay + the Talent (sort of like we did for World Card Making Day but a bit more w&w-centric lol), awesome special guest stars, BIG giveaways, we will share our whirlwind experience being tourists at CHA (anyone else going and want to meet just let us know!), our January Release at the end of the month and just loads of fun!

Of course we still have lots of Winter Wonderland inspiration to share with you in December starting with Gayatri tomorrow and continuing on with our December Leading Lady Laurel Beard Saturday (don't forget to check out her delightful first Leading Lady post HERE)!

Wishing you a very joyous December,
Walter, Julie, Winnie & Shay.
