Default Once upon a Christmas - **WINNER ANNOUNCED**

Hi everyone!! I am releasing my 4th annual Christmas Collection this weekend and here are the official sneak peeks!

There are 5 kits in this collection and when I first started talking to my team I realized I wanted to do something different this year and that is when "Once Upon a Christmas" was born" A very dear creative team member of mine, Glynis Becker, wrote the story to correspond with the kits. I was SO happy with how the story turned out that I knew I wanted to do more with it!










**WINNER ANNOUNCED - RONISDRAGON****

I also just wanted to give extra special thanks to all the creative team members and babes that worked with this collection this week. I am beyond floored at the amazing pages they have created

The very favourite part for me starts on Christmas Eve after the dinner... just sit down after all preparation, in a living room with a tree, and enjoy all the smells and cookies and wonderful feeling of relaxation...

Your collections have always been beautiful, Kristin, and it seems like you have managed to surpass your own high standard once again! Those stories by Glynis are amazing... Love it all. And winning it would make my day, that's for sure!

My favorite part of Christmas is spending the day at home with my family listening to Christmas music and doing nothing! Just hanging around and enjoying each other's company.

My favorite part of the holiday is time spent with family and friends. Also baking cookies. I also love attending candlelight church services.

My most favorite part of Christmas is the Swedish smorgasbord we have each year. I remember going to Grandma's in Chicago and she'd have everything Swedish ready for us to devour. Grandma passed on her talents to my mom, who has taken over preparing the Swedish smorgasbord every Christmas. But we all still very much look forward to it.

Grandma passed on this past April. There will definitely be a void there- but we will still have all the happy memories.

Beautiful stories!!!

The best part of Christmas for me is after all the presents are opened and the kids are playing and I can smell dinner baking. I can relax and take everything in and smile. I feel very blessed at that moment.

What a wonderful story and collection!

My favorite part of Christmas is the spirit of the season that makes us all a little kinder to everyone around us and the memories. Now that I am older and have lost so many dear ones, I really appreciate the memories of past Christmases so much more.

My favorite part of Christmas is spending time with my family...watching the happiness and joy on the faces of the little ones.

Thanks for the chance. These look like they're going to be beautiful kits (as always) and I know I'm going to enjoy adding them to my collection of Christmas kits no matter what.

My favorite part of Christmas is the spirit that seems to fill the air. People just seem to be a bit nicer to one another during the Christmas season (after Black Friday, of course, lol). That's the part of Christmas I love the most, and still believe in...the Magic of Christmas

Beautiful stories! My favorite part of Christmas is time spent Christmas morning with my husband before family arrives. I love feeling the excitement before the festivities begin and preparing the Christmas meal with my husband.

My favorite part of Christmas has always been decorating sugar cookies. I loved it as a kid and I love sharing the experience with my children. They're not perfect like the ones in the stores, but they taste so good full of love.

Wow beautiful kits and beautiful stories! My fave part of Christmas is Christmas morning - watching the kids get so excited to see the tree and open gifts, and spend time together.

These kits look like they are going to be AMAZING!

My most fave part of Christmas is spending time with my family. I also really love the look on my kids faces on Christmas morning when they see what Santa has left them. This Christmas is going to be so special because my youngest (who is developmentally delayed) really understands what is going on and he is beyond excited. I get giddy like a little kid just waiting to see their faces.

My favorite part is the day we get our tree - we go to a tree farm and spend time picking out the perfect tree then we come home and spend the rest of the day decorating.

My favorite part of Christmas is spending time with our family. Hubby always works long hours and it's nice for him to have more than a weekend off to relax. We spend the day hanging out, playing together, and skyping with extended family.

It appears you've outdone yourself this year, Kristin! My favorite part of Christmas would have to be going to candlelight service at church. All of the kids in their PJs, sitting at the front of the stage while our pastor reads them a picture book...all of the kids get a commemorative ornament...and then they go back to sit with their parents while we all sing carols. The lights go out, we light candles and sing Silent Night. Watching my daughter's candle be lit, and then to have her light my candle...it gives me happy chillbumps every year.

My favourite part is Christmas Eve - the kids are so excited! We leave out cookies and milk for Santa and a bucket of water and some carrots for the reindeer. We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by the tree. Then the kids go to bed and Santa's work begins!!!! Also, Christmas music - I loooooove Christmas music!!

My favorite part of Christmas is the forced togetherness--- my family can't get away, haha! This year will be our first Christmas staying at our own home with our own little family, instead of traveling, so I am really looking forward to waking up Christmas morning in my own bed, and being able to stay up late the night before with dh setting everything up!

I think my favorite part of Christmas is Christmas morning when my son wakes up to see what Santa has left him. I just love the look of joy and surprise on his face.

My favorite part is holiday gift shopping. It may start off as the usual shopping activity for any gal, but later realize that it is really about acknowledging the people that mean most to you in your life and you want them to know they are the ones you remember at special times of the year.

GORGEOUS!!!! I NEED THIS COLLECTION!!!

My favorite part of Christmas is being with my family...we spend the holiday remembering the past ones, and sharing our gifts and eating lots of good food and normally then naps. lol But I just love being able to spend it with my entire family and have the same traditions every single year.

What a team you have!! I love the gratefulness you have for them and the obvious joy they have creating for you also. That shines thru tremendously.
Christmas touches me, because for 10 years of infertility, I would cry each Christmas, wondering when my child would be in my arms. Now 14 years more have passed and thru the miracle of foster to adopt, I am a mom to 7 whose eyes twinkle and laughter makes my Christmas bright! ♥
