Christmas Card Crazy!

I love, love, love making my own cards, so when it comes to Christmas the excitement is doubled!  Yes, it's a crazy time of year, but it's relaxing to me to be in my workshop doing what I love.
The easiest way for me, is to create my card, then start an assembly line process so I can duplicate it over and over.  I cut all the papers needed, stamp them, ink & distress where needed, and start attaching the elements.  This works well for a busy mom.  I am constanly interrupted, but I can go back and start right back up where I had to leave it.
My Christmas gift to myself this year will be the Wishes Card Confidence Program Book.  I know it came out earlier in the year, but I am ready for it now, especially after seeing all of the beautiful cards created by other consultants, and Jeanette Lynton on her blog (jeanettelynton.com).  I can't wait to learn how to make the trendy circle cards.  It will be a great addition to my how-to library of wonderful Close To My Heart books!

Where to start?

   Today I'll be spending the majority of the day going through the new Spring Idea Book and creating my game plan for the next four months. 
   The new Idea Book will be available to order from starting January 1st!!!!!  With over 70 new products, I think you'll be pleased to get it in your hands.  Let me know if you'd like a copy & I'll drop one by or mail it.
   Now, back to my plan of attack for today. Here's what I'll be working on today for you!

• FREE Crop for Saturday Jan. 9th (time & details to follow)
• Upcoming Scrapbook Club layouts.
• Upcoming Terrific Tuesday Workshops.

How exciting! Check back here and I'll keep you posted with dates & details.

2010 is going to be AWESOME!

Holiday Heyday Ends Soon!

Whew!  It's been busy, busy around here!  I had a couple of booths to promote my business during this wonderful season.  I made several Snowman Soup packets, picture frames, Santa's mailboxes, and a few altered clipboards and notebooks.  Busy, busy, but I love my job!
