CIJ Day 1 at CTB Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Well it's here....Day 1 of the Christmas in July at Catch the Bug and there are lots of prizes and surprises a long the way. Today we start with creating a card or project with using the picture of Santa's workshop. During the celebration we are also going to be honoring Julie Temple our DT member that recently passed away. As I put on my Facebook, with losing my husband, I know that God takes some of the wonderful people too soon, but then they are able to watch over us. I just hope that Julie is able to give me some creative vibes since she was so talented. I realize that I colored my elf to look like her. I also have candy canes which are so sweet like my friend. Also my daughter LOVES them. I would buy boxes of the mini ones and she would pack them as snacks. I think to her they are a food group, lol.
