*FREE gingerbread house download!

Hello December! It's that most wonderful time of the year! 

It's a time for celebrating with family and friends and gift giving, so we wanted to give all of our lovely blog readers a fun download this month. We all decorated a little Christmas house that is three-dimensional once it's cut out, folded and glued together. You can make a row of them to display on a shelf or mantle or you can get a little more creative and make them into ornaments for your tree. Have fun crafting!

Happy Holidays from all of us! ~ Nina, Bee, Shirley, Jennifer, Julissa and Cally

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to Salli Swindell and Nate Padavick of TheyDrawandCook.com for showcasing us. Salli is a contributor to the magazine and wrote a wonderful article about our group, stemming from Julissa's brainstorm of getting us all together to form our group blog.
