Happy post-Thanksgiving Saturday everyone! Are you gearing up for Christmas now? I know that in my little world, Black Friday symbolizes the beginning of the rat race for Christmas. Family dinner is over, the kids are in bed, and I’m doing “stretches” just before I run out for my first Black Friday store! This year I went to Toys R Us at 10pm, and while I was thrilled to get everything I needed, I was NOT thrilled about spending 3 hours of my night waiting in line! But at least I’m done shopping for my kiddos! *grins*

So what are you doing today to prepare for the Christmas season? If anything?

Also, {I may get shot for this} I wanted to wish Trixie and Mr. Trixie a Happy 8th Anniversary today!!! Hope you two have a ton of fun today and this next year!!!

This week we had some great layouts in the Trixie Scraps Gallery! Welcome to the newbies that joined us this week! Take a look at the great inspiration from the Gallery!

You can find the kits in these show offs at Trixie Scraps Store or they are also available at ScrapMatters, Gotta Pixel or Scrapbook Bytes.
