We want to thank each of you who came into the store for the Twelve Days of Christmas Tags. Your participation ensured a wonderful donation bundle for the local Food Bank and they're thrilled to be able to help more and more people during the holiday. It's your generosity that makes the "warm and fuzzies" we all desire at Christmas time.

When we're working with our beautiful dies, we sometimes forget that there are multiple uses for them. For instance, Sue McRae has made gorgeous gift toppers with her dies from PoppyStamps.

I'm always looking for new ways to top off my gift packages to make them unique, and I'm sure Sue's ideas will help quite a bit!

I've been subscribing to a free project by Jill Davis, founder of Scrapbook.com, a 27-week Get Organized Challenge that sends a weekly 'how-to'. Not everything works for everyone because we all have different supplies, available space and resources. However, I've certainly found merit in many of the general ideas.

This week, Jill addresses dies and die-cutting equipment. You can click on this link to see what she says:
