Holidays on My Mind...

I am loading gifts and Christmas cards into my shop... I can't seem to stop making new holiday designs! I'm going to try some printed sets of Christmas cards too, with a few super cute designs I came up with tonight. I was, of course, working on something else at the time but as usual that's when I get my ideas! I ended up working on about six things at the same time, and I'm anxious to finish them up (after this quick blogging break)! :)



I am absolutely determined to have a fun and happy holiday season this year! I always love Thanksgiving and Christmas... but it also never fails that I have my annual holiday breakdown! I am normally making things right up until the night before... often wrapping presents IN THE CAR on the way to the family party! (Who does that!?) There's usually crying involved...
Its not happening this year. I'm pledging it now! I want to enjoy my holidays! I can't wait to spend time with my family and friends... and all the other fun stuff that comes along with this time of year! Anyone with me? :)

Stay Crafty!

Glimpses of Holiday Cheer...

Here's a preview of some new Christmas cards I've been working on... Funny, at my house all we've been talking about is Halloween, but I sit down at my desk and there's Santa haha! Happy, Merry! ;)

Snow Time and No Time!

We had our first real snowstorm this week, which is fine by me! No where to go until this show is over on Sunday! I have so much more to do! I hope I can get it all done....

On another note, a fellow EtsyGreetings member featured me on her blog! Catherine of Kiwi Punch Designs...

She ordered a custom order from me, and she took pictures of the cards and put them on her site! :D See it HERE!

She makes some incredible and extremely colorful cards!!! Here are a couple of my favorites!!!




Thanks Catherine!!! :D

That's all for now... I have about 100 cards to trim and put in packages! Ack! Goodnight ;)

Becoming Obsessed....

I'm getting so hooked on reading blogs, and joining groups, and window shopping online that I'm losing all of my tiny bit of free time to the computer! Don't get me wrong... I LOVE everything I'm learning from great talented people! Check out these two groups that I am a part of:

I think I might need to limit my computer time to 30 minutes a day, and use the rest of the time to make cards... oh, and do laundry and dishes.... *looking around at my dirty house...* I did find time to post a few new items in my shop last night, and I have some more new designs on the way!

Sneak Peek ;)

I am incredibly busy this week... and I know I said I wasn't going to work on any cards, but how can I not?? ;) Next week, I'll be adding a pile of cards to my shop. It seems I have the most creative ideas when I have absolutely no time to work on them ;) For now, its back to the bathroom! :p

On a fun note... My son went to his first "friend" birthday party on Sunday. He spent most of the afternoon with his face planted into a cupcake (which he decorated himself! and redecorated.. then ate... and redecorated...) He wouldn't touch the cupcake because it was messy, so he ate it with his face like a food-eating-contest-champion ;) Woohoo!

And so it begins....

"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas..........."

The holiday cards are starting... It's fun ;) I wonder how many I will be making this year?? Last year it was 43, and that was just for myself to send out.... yikes!
