Hello lovely peeps,
Are you all ready for Christmas? I have at last written & posted all my Christmas cards & bought all the presents, I now have bags & bags of presents needing wrapping, anyone know where I can hire an Elf lol.
I kind of feel I cheated a bit with my Christmas cards this year as I created lots of flat, CAS cards to post as it was a case of needs must! I just haven't had the time to create lots of my usual style cards since hubby's stroke, let alone make a box for every card I send. I knew I could make about 20 CAS cards in the time it takes me to make one of my usual very embellished cards, let alone the hours I've saved not making a huge stack of boxes, so apologies to everyone who will open a Christmas card from me and think "where the heck are the flowers" lol.
