b5 Holiday Artists Showcase for December 2006

Welcome! I am delighted to host the December Holiday Artists Showcase of b5 bloggers who write for the craft channel of b5.
I’ll start off with a few entries that I posted recently with designs for some very easy holiday presies:

Another quick and simple little gift is my heart bookmark:
