Holiday Cheer!
Hello, my lovelies!
Less than a week to go! Are you prepared? I still have to wrap gifts, but everything is here at least. No last minute shopping for me. If you do need some last minute stocking stuffers, check out my printables shop -- Instant downloads are the perfect last minute gift. Bookmarks, planner kits, stationery and more. Check out the Shop.
So that challenge I was talking about last newsletter has officially dropped! There are a blog post and youtube video linked below explaining it all, but I made a reading challenge for next year! Join me and expand your reading boundaries!
Shop Updates: Flash sales throughout the month in both shops! My main Etsy shop is open with over 100 items and counting, check it out WithLoveMelissaShop. The deadline for guaranteed delivery before Christmas has passed, so anything bought now may arrive AFTER Christmas!
Talk to you soon <3
