Holiday Finish It Up Weekend

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH that I have a FIU for you. This weekend is sort of critical for Holiday "Fundom"... we need to have some of the major stress makers done and outta here so we can enjoy the rest of the month... don't you think?

So this weekend.. starting... mmmm.. well NOW through the end of the Day on Sunday... is HOLIDAY FInish It Up Weekend. Affectionately known as HFIU from here on out..

What does this mean?  Well I KNOW you have some stuff that needs finished up (well maybe STARTED and FINISHED but hey... keep reading). 

Join me in the HOLIDAY FINISH It UP the weekend of Dec 3(today) to Dec 6. This will leave us time to enjoy the rest of the holiday month without 'gift making, card doing, cookie making, and ALL the decorating' hanging over our heads!!

Follow along at Quilt Mashup (HERE). Share your before and  your AFTER photos at the forum or at flickr so we can see how you did.

Example.. show me your empty and then FULL shopping tote. Your living room with Easter decorations transformed into Holiday sparkle (you KNOW you are out there!)... or the cookie makings on the counter and those rum balls afterwards (let's MEASURE that rum bottle eh?)

I have fabric to give away to some lucky person EACH DAY! Post a photo or leave me a blog comment to be in the running to win a piece of my new Georgia fabric! And I"m thinking of sweetening the pie with a few special gifts... I'm digging around and have some in mind!

this is our Flickr group Page - http://www.flickr.com/groups/1301233@N21/

ps - The cutie pie Santa pincushion is made by the FAB-O Elizabeth.. buy him or many others at her Etsy Shop HERE
