Isn't it such a nice feeling when you get a little organised for Christmas? Aside from a couple of things on layby for the boys, I hadn't really done a great deal BUT today I went and did the bulk of it and I'd say I'm about 75% done . . . YAY . . . and the best thing is, I'm fairly certain I know what I'm going to get for the remaining gifts as well!
Actually, I can't believe that this weekend we will be putting up the Christmas Tree - it's always our December 1st Christmas tradition - the boys just can't wait! As for my Christmas Cards . . . I've still got a few more to go BUT I hope to get these done in the next week or so - that way I won't be sending them out late like happened last year!
I remembered this morning that I hadn't mentioned that I recently received a lovely RAK (Random Act of Kindness) of this lovely 2008 calendar & some metal corner charms.
"Thank-you Jan"
You know me too well don't you?
Oh . . .
And I received this gorgeous card from my dear friend Heather who thanked me for making the cards for her Pink Ribbon Fundraising Event . . . it was my pleasure H - glad to hear that they were well received! Don't you just love the 'Pink Ribbon' that she's added to the front with a cute little silver brad holding it in place - such a great idea!
So . . . I've decided that since I've been the recipient of these lovely items . . . I'm going to return the favour by RAKing someone who leaves a comment to this post and shares their favourite Christmas Tradition . . . AND what will you receive? Mmm - well . . . I'll give you a little Christmas surprise! I look forward to you sharing your thoughts!
Oh - and I have to some wonderful news to share too - one of my Longford Scrappers members - Jan K, had a win in last weeks round of the Scrappit Photography Competition - such a gorgeous photo Jan - congratulations . . . here's hoping you enjoy your prize from Scrappit!
OK - I'm off to make up some samples for a new kit that Scrappit will be releasing soon . . . I've had them all sitting here to do BUT I've just been side tracked by other things - I'll share the results with you all soon!
Until next time . . .
