So Little Time


Only 24 hours per day, eh?

Between Christmas baking, shopping and gift wrapping, DH's company party, there has been little time for crafts and such.

This is our homemade Christmas cards we will be sending out to 49 of our closest family & friends. I try to do something unique and I think a black, gold & cream Christmas card is not your average sight! I must thank our youngest daughter for getting me on this track. It's quite fun once you narrow your selection down to a few stamps and colour palettes.



As you can see or not, there hasn't been much progress on my project. I was also distracted by the snow and high winds last week. One day I shovelled 3 times just to keep the drift across the driveway down to a managable size. We continue in the deep freeze. We were -29'C this morning but thank goodness the wind was stopped.

But this is a project for me, so no time constraints or deadlines...which may in intself be not a good thing. There's nothing quite like being under a deadline to get busy!

We'll see what the day will bring. Hope yours is a warm one!

Pretty Christmas cards 'Berta. Looks like you're going to be a busy girl making 49 of them.
Do you make 'Nanaimo Bars' for Christmas? They are a favorite around here.

I just love the Christmas card and what a beautiful and wonderful idea! It is always nice to have a project that has no deadlines . . . .although I can not wait to see it finished, as I just love that piece and may have to do it for myself on day! ;)

Berta, your Christmas cards are lovely-very unique. I think it's wonderful that you do your own cards.

I love your Christmas cards, 'Berta! My daughter just started making ours last night.

Keep warm! And remember, there are lots of long January/February nights ahead to stitch.
