12 Weeks of Christmas begins on Wednesday!
If you have been on my mailing list for a while, then you know that for each of the 12 weeks before Christmas, you will receive an exclusive Christmas/Holiday project idea. These projects will not be posted anywhere (not Facebook, not on my blog, Pinterest or Instagram), you will only receive them via email every
Wednesday leading up to Christmas. That's a benefit for you for being on my list, thank you! There is no need for you to do anything, your project will be directly emailed to you on Wednesday afternoon.
My family just got back from visiting my son for Parent's weekend. He is a sophomore at Norwich University, which is a private military college in Vermont. Vermont is a very popular spot for "leaf peeping". The colors are just getting ready to burst into the shades of orange & reds, but I
happen to like all of the greens with the little pops of color. Try out this color combination, inspired by one of the Vermont covered bridges. I will post my creation on my Mail Something Pretty Facebook page later this week, be sure to check in and post a comment. If you are have not "liked" my page yet, click HERE. I'll add a photo
of my son & me at the end of this newsletter.

Stamp Club to begin again in December!
My Stamp Club has been going strong since June, I just love having a Club! We still have two months left, but I wanted to let you know that I will be starting a new round in December. Everyone is invited to join, whether you live near me or far away. More information will follow, but you don't want to
miss out!
Here's a testimonial from one of my members: "Had another wonderful time yesterday. Thank you so much for your creativity and doing so much work to offer new ideas to us in Club. Just love going each month to see what you have planned!"

For those of you who ordered a Paper Share, they are cut and ready for pick up. Everyone who purchased a share is getting one 6 x 12" sheet of all Holiday Paper. Paper Shares are a great way to get a samplings of all the papers for a fraction of the price. Be sure not to miss the next Paper
Share in January, with the new 2019 Occasions Catalog!
There are different ways of storing your Blends Markers, but they should always be stored in a horizontal position. Here is a great way of making your own storing case/caddy. Thank you Adie for giving me the idea!
You can make as many sections as you like. Mine has 8 sections - 6 Blends Markers per section (although if you want it to be a perfect square, use 7 boxes). I used the Acetate Card Boxes (p. 193 of the Annual Catalog). I cut 2" off
each top. Assemble each box and reinforce the bottom closure with clear scotch tape. Stack the amount of boxes you want together (I put my markers in the boxes for a sturdier hold). Place a rubber band around the boxes to keep them temporarily together. Wrap Washi tape around the
entire circumference of the bottom and top of the stack. Remove rubber band. Then, wrap Washi tape around in the opposite direction (top side, around bottom, to opposite top side).
When you are not using the Blends, store the "caddy" in the horizontal position. When you are using them, store vertically for and easy way of grabbing the Blends. Have fun
coloring!
