Well it’s almost December, my goodness did I just type that? December is a mixture of crazy busy times and a nice wind down at the end with good food, family and friends. I for one can’t wait for the back end of December.
On that note, we have to face that there are few more weeks left until Christmas. I love creating Christmas resources and could probably do all year round. I recently created a huge Christmas around the World BUNDLE. It took a solid 4 weeks and I am so excited to share it with you. You can see loads of pictures and read more about it here.
