Our Black Friday Sale was a huge success, and we can't wait to see the wonderful layouts you create with all your wonderful new treasures.

There's a lot of activity on the site this month with many fun activities, contests, and challenges. Check out the calendar and make a date to learn and have fun scrapping or taking photos. Don't miss our 12 days of Christmas in the store! Each day we'll have 1 item at a reduced price as a count down to Christmas.

Want to host an event at DSP? The calendar is open for anyone to sign up: just pick a date and an activity, and put the info on the calendar! Click here for a list of ideas.

DSU also has three new short term classes for the holiday season. Registration ends on December 5th, so you'd better hurry. You can see the class list here. And, after December 15th you can register for January classes. Who thought learning could be so fun?!

Holiday memories are among the most precious in our lives, and scrapping them is not only fun but an emotional experience. We and our loved ones can relive those moments over and over when the stories are recorded, fresh or old. This year, check out the holiday Circle Journal project and scrap your precious holiday memories with other DSP members. This year, as my theme, I'm focusing on favorite holiday memories. Christmas was never a big deal for my family growing up, but scrapping the small traditions we did have makes me more appreciative and feel more connected to my loved ones, and helps me pass on traditions to my own children. So whatever you're celebrating this season, please join DSP in capturing and reliving special memories!

Have a happy and fun Holiday season.
