My December Story Blog Hop

I got a peek at "Your December Story" and I'm giving away a free pass
I checked out lesson 1 of Debbie Hodge's Your December Story this weekend, and I want to tell you about the class and give you a peek at how it's inspired me. And I'm giving away one pass to the class. (If you have already purchased the class, you'll get a $24 gift card good for any other GIS/MSD classes.)
Your December Story is shaped around the Hero's Journey
This December, like Dorothy dropped into Oz or Alice tumbled into Wonderland, you will receive a call to adventure. You will move from the ordinary world into a one of magic and tests as the holiday season arrives.
Many of the most-loved and best remembered stories play out in a story form described by Joseph Campbell as "the hero's journey." This class has prompts and page ideas for visual storytelling that have you telling Your December Journey, from the heralds, to the challenges, mentors, special tools and the return to the known world and what you take forward.
You can take the journey and get a $10 gift card . . .
but only through midnight Wednesday, November 20th. When you purchase "Your December Story" by midnight PT, Wednesday, November 20, you also get a $10 gift card that you can use for Get It Scrapped and Masterful Scrapbook Design classes. Click here to purchase Your December Story and get the $10 gift card.

I love this class! I was feeling quite Bleh! about the rapidly approaching festive season, but Debbie has such a fabulous and unique way of looking at things and her prompts are wonderful and inspiring. One of the first steps is to create a view of what life is like in November, and to narrate that in the third person. I started with a template by the Shabby Shoppe which I tweaked to add the roof and chimney too, making it look more like a house. This is a glimpse of life at home most days in November.

I was so inspired that I created another layout, my story of the herald, as  mentioned above.
