It’s July.
And while that means swimming, vacations, lemonade, sunshine, and sports to most people, July can also bring feelings of Christmas cheer! And I’d like to spread that Christmas-in-July cheer by giving away a fun Christmas gift to one of you—a countdown calendar from Karen Foster and a Christmas collection from TPC Studio. With these you can happily craft yourself into oblivion before the crazy holiday season.
Comment below telling me what you are looking forward to this holiday season, and I will enter you for a chance to win these goodies! All comments must be received by Thursday, July 5th at 5 pm MDT.
Thanks for checking in!

Hoping to be with my side of the family for the first time in seven years! It is so difficult when e erroneous is overseas… But we are trying to make it happen this year!
Cooler weather – we’re in the middle of a mini-heat wave and the word “Christmas” makes me think of cold mornings … ahhh! Thanks and happy Fourth!
What I am looking forwad to with the holidays is watching how much fun my kids have with them. Everything is so magical to them, it really makes me happy. It is always fun to think about how different they were only one year ago, and holidays are so memorable that it makes t easy to make those comparisons.
Watching my kids faces of joy and carrying out traditions that I hope they pass on!
i look forward to the new paper collections (that seem to be rolling out right now!).
My family has had a couple of rough years. I just want a holiday where all of my loved ones are healthy and happy so that we can spend time together.
Time spent with family and friends and the peaceful, easy feeling I get during the holiday season.
for the first time ever, we will be having grandchildren at our family gathering….after all this waiting, TWO in one year!!! What a life changer!
I am looking forward to making my Christmas Cards again this year! I have already begun the planning designs. Everyone looks forward to receiving my handmade cards and seeing what unique design I have come up with. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am looking forward to spending time with family, decorating my new home with all the fun things of the season and starting some new traditions of my own.
I am looking forward to all the Holiday shows and movies on TV.
I am looking forward to making homemade gifts with my kiddos. They are so special and will be treasured for years to come!
I love making my own Christmas cards. I enjoy the freedom of using different products and personalizing each person’s card.
I want to make my own advent calendars this year! The kids love getting a goodie every day and counting down the days till Christmas!
I can’t wait to make my own Christmas banner for the fireplace this year! I have been scoping out ideas and getting ready…
looking forward to create, hoping to be working by that time of year…to make a very different season this year…full of presents and gatherings
Simply being able to spend time with my family…..laughing & being goofy. I cherish these times and am reminded how short life is.
With the 100 degree weather, thinking of Christmas gives me a little chill. Thinking of watching falling snow, the smell of pine needles and the taste of cool peppermint candy canes. I love Christmas, just ask my family, as I snap pictures during the holiday seasons of every moment I don’t want to forget. Celebrating the birth of Jesus is the reason for the season & we should not leave this out in our scrapbooks.
Celebrating Christmas at any time is very special in this house. My favorite time of the year (even in July). Having all my babies around me fills me with warmth.
Looking forward to spending time with my family!

OMGosh. I live in Arizona and when I think of the holidays right now…I think of cooler weather. I cannot wait to HAVE to wear long pants and, dare I dream, a long sleeved shirt? Oh yeah!
When I think of Christmas this year, I think how joyous it will be in our family to have my grandson home from Afghanistan!!! Truly a blessing in the making!!
I am looking forward to all the beautiful photos and memories we make and then start scrapbooking them!
Every year before Christmas my extended family gets together and bakes some of my Grandma’s favorite Norwegian goodie recipes. We do this every year the weekend of Thanksgiving. Last year Grandma was with us on that day but was called to her heavenly home right before Christmas. Last year we did this traditional event twice, and served all of her favorite recipes at her funeral. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have served any of it, as it didn’t look like hers did but am sure that she would have appreciated the gesture.
This year will be hard without her but will be bittersweet in keeping the tradition going.
Holly: would love to win this awesome prize–just love it and the colors. Thanks for the chance. I am looking forward to hopefully being with our daughters, who presently live out of state. Hoping they will be ‘home’ in Wisconsin, or we will be travelling to be ‘home’ with them. Anyway–HOME IS WHERE the HEART IS.
I’m actually looking forward to making a bunch of new home decor for my house this year. We desperately need updated decor to add to the old. This advent calendar is on my list to do as I collect them. Winning one would be that much sweeter!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE spending time with my family. I don’t get to see them much throughout the year, but when we do get together it’s a blast. I also love having my house decorated with snowmen – even my bathroom gets the snowmen treatment!
Grandkids and more grandkids!!!!! Also my d-i-l makes beautiful handmade gifts for me, each better than the last. I am truley blessed!
I look forward to the family get togethers to eat meat pies, and of course I love decorating.
I love decorating our Christmas tree & going to the Christingles service at our church.
Spending time with the family and enjoying all those goodies!!!
Spending time with my daughter, I save vacation time from summer so I can be with her during school break, we love to bake christmas cookies.
LOVE Christmas! And LOVE it in July…it’s my birthday too! Great time of year
Christmas in July is perfect for us here in Australia where the cold weather just calls out for a roast dinner to warm us up!
