With so many holidays coming up--Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year's, what will you be making in December? Are you whipping up some last minute holiday cards, or do you need to churn out some thank you cards! This month we want to see what NND projects you make in the last few weeks of 2024. Looks like some of the ladies on the DT are having coffee cravings! We also have a birthday card and a New Year card to inspire you!
