My thirteen year old daughter has been obsessed with these fun and fury animals for a few years now and apparently everyone else is feeling the llama love, too!

Christmas chalkboards have never been easier. Do you ever see beautifully drawn chalkboards and feel secretly envious? Me too. You see, I am a crafter by nature.
