Celebrate Christmas on Bookstagram
Have you started the countdown to Christmas?
I'll admit, I lost track of time this November because the holidays rushed up to meet me so fast I didn't realize how many days had past... but none the less, it is time for another fun challenge...
And because it's December and everyone is giving gifts I have decided that for those of you who join in Read & Gush this December will be entered into a giveaway for a custom made bookmark from Books are Key! All you have to do is join in the challenge, each day you use our hashtag will count as an entry. And the winner will be announced on January 5, 2018.**
We are doing a paper snowflake day - you are welcome to cut out snowflakes, or try one of these fun paper foldings if you want. Just check out this tutorial, or feel free to search out a different one.
I hope you will join in... just follow me on Instagram and check it out! And please follow my lovely co-hosts - they are super sweet, you will love them, I promise!

Looks like it's going to be a good challenge! I meant to participate last month and just got crazy busy. Hopefully I'll be able to jump in a few times in December!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a crazy month... I totally understand, I had to post only once a day... so yeah, hopefully you can jump in with a few posts in December! I'd love to see your pictures, plus you could win a bookmark!
DeleteThis looks like fun! I'll try to post a few on instagram. Don't think I can do them all!
ReplyDeleteIgnore that old blog. I blog now at donnastone.me but couldn't comment with that id for some reason. :)
Bummer, I don't get why comments are so picky anymore... plan for 2018 find a better all around comment form... and jump in when you can!
DeleteI love comments!!
