Christmassy

Hi there blog friends. After a lovely trip to the shops this morning with my Mother Duck, surrounded by lots of Christmassy stuff, I am feeling... well... all Christmassy myself. I have broken out  the Christmas CD's,  the Christmas papers and stamps, and can't wait for school to end for the year and get into the fun stuff. We are lucky enough to have our delightful little munchkins' birthdays the week before Christmas, too, so it is always a fun time with lots of baking, giggles and surprises.

If you are on my Christmas card list... please look away now, as you will be receiving something that looks a little like this in the mail in the not too distant future ;-)

I thought I would also share the scene behind my chair as I am typing up my post...

... it's very cute, one sleepy Saturday afternoon for this little threesome that found me hiding in my computer/crafty space and decided to stay-a-while.

Enjoy your weekend, thanks for stopping by.

PS. If you want any deets for the supplies used on the cards, please leave a comment or send me email and I will let you know.

It's that time of year again...

Hi there, with November upon us, it is time to get cracking on my Christmas Card making adventure. Each year, I make my Mum's Christmas cards, and my own, making it a total of about 60 between us... I tend to not make any for my Etsy store, as this is enough to keep me busy for a wee while.

As I have said in my past few posts, my little girls have been quite sick, with viral tonsilitis, so lots of high temps and laying about with not much energy, I have set up their little matresses in my crafty space and have been working in a mad flurry, utilising the time in between jelly and custard making, and snuggles, to make a few Christmas cards. It's quite amazing what you can get done when you don't trip out to the local Westfield's most days... sure Gloria Jean's and David Jones may be going broke without my business ;-) but look what one can achieve when you can't leave the house!

I have just about finished Mum's, I have used mostly traditional colours for most of them, here is a just a few of the 30 I have so far...

Have your Christmas preparations begun yet?

Thanks for stopping by, smiles and bye for now.
