I hope that all my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for and that list keeps growing + growing every year.

I love me some discount shopping and have already done a little bit of my own Black Friday damage. Here are some favorite things + deals for today's Five on Friday:

1. J.Crew - save 30% off your purchase. This Hello tee has popped back into the shop after being sold out for a while. The Cheers tee and Nobody's Perfect Tee both went onto my Christmas list.

2. GAP - save 50% off your purchase. I love a pop of color and this leather clutch is perfect. Also, can't resist this perfect blazer (so classic!) and gorgeous leather bag.

3. CB2 - save 15% off everything + free shipping (on most items). Flipping over these calendar note pads - would be fun for a mini album. And how cute is this creamer?

4. Bauble Bar - save up to 35% off. Everyone needs a statement necklace and this Rainbow Starlite Bib is perfect. Check out my favorite fashion blogger Atlantic Pacific's shop picks.

5. Madewell - save 25% off your entire purchase. Loving the Shirred Top in Stamp Dot. Perfect for jeans or black pants or colorful skirt. They've also got a great gift guide with the beautiful Sketchbook bag, super cute Shimmer Skirt, and gorgeous Night Lace Sheath (obsessed!)

And now it's giveaway time! I'm giving away two seats in the upcoming December Duos class at Big Picture. I'm honored to be a contributor to this and it's going to be a great one:



The "December Duos" concept is easy, stress-free, and inspiring. Every day for the twelve days leading up to Christmas Day, two of our twelve instructors will share a scrapbook layout, video message, and a page prompt in the form of a duo ("warm & cold," "give & receive," "near & far"). That's a total of two-dozen inspiring ideas!

You can follow the instructor's lead or march in your own direction as you snap your photos for the day. Then, after printing our fabulously free journaling cards and title cards, you'll either slip the cards and your photos into a Project Life mini album from American Crafts or use them on a traditional (or digital) scrapbook page.

12 Days of Christmas: December Duos makes it easy to capture all of your most important holiday moments—in a festive new format—while keeping up with all the parties, presents, and pageants that make the holiday season magical.

More info on the class can be found right here. Just leave a comment here and I'll draw a winner after the weekend. Happy Friday everyone!
