Remember me?

Hello hello...remember me?

You could be forgiven for thinking I'd fallen off the face of the planet, or given up blogging altogether...it's been a while ;) I've written lots of blog posts in my head though...does that count?

It's been a busy Christmas season around here, full of all the things that make Christmas wonderful...lots of family time, wonderful food, catchups with friends, school wind-ups and not a whole lot of non-Christmas related crafting...but that's the way December goes :)

This year, I did manage to send out some handmade Christmas cards, and they mostly looked like this...


I challenged myself to make them with what I had in my stash, and that worked out rather well :) I had a JUMBO roll of red polkadot ribbon, so that was my starting point, and used no less than four stamps on the front alone...that is a BIG stamping effort from me :)


Of course, I totally underestimated how many cards I would need, and was still stamping my heart out right up to Christmas...LOL! I also created matching tags for my gifts, and would hate to count how many of those tags I actually made...hundreds!

I may not stamp anything for a few months now...stamp overload :)

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and are enjoying the" after Christmas down time"...I know I am! Lots of creativity beginning to swirl around in my head, and lots of Project Life and December Daily catching up to do in the meantime...wish me luck!

Suzi, life does happen to get very busy in Dec, especially with end of year school things & Christmas preparations, don't sweat it!!
The cards are really lovely, well done on making so many, & well done on the stash busting too!
Will the friends/family be getting a Coles card in 2013?! x
