Christmas Lads are coming for the holidays!


Icelandic Christmas Lads will invade Zig Zag Scrap from December 12th.  
There will be megaBytes to win, gifts to grab, and a lot of fun… But let me tell you the story…
Christmas lads (who are called Jólasveinar) are trolls (or kind of…). They live in the mountains close by Reykjavik, and once a year they come to town, one by one. In the old days, they were coming to play bad tricks to people… nowadays they are much nicer. They bring a small gift to every kids who behaved… a potatoe to the other ones.
They are 13, and start coming on the 12th of December, until the 24th… But hey, the “real Santa” will come on the mornign of the 25th of course…
Please keep in mind, we are wonderful girls, not ugly trolls, and we will not bring you potatoes. lol! 

Check out the Zig Zag Scrap Blog
and find out how to win!

Welcome....

Welcome to my blog! I'm a long time creative who has ventured into many different craft forms over the years.

 I hope to have this be a place for you to check out & visit some of the cool places I've found on the web.I also want it to be a place that I can share some of my own creative work online.

I'm in the process of opening an Etsy store too! So I'll be posting some of my work for sale and giving updates and news about what I'm selling.

Resources abound online and I've found the craft community in general to be a very welcoming and generous group with their time and talents.
