... la la la la !!!
It's time to get started making our 2009 Christmas Cards ... and yes, I intend to make them all from scratch. Ambitious? You bet. I quick scribbled The List out last night, while filling the bathtub {okay, so the tub is never FILLED, it's just partly filled - for any of you wondering why I would waste all that precious water - I don't} and The List turned out to be just over 100 people long. I'm sure more names will come to me, but for now, 100 homemade cards is A Lot to Process.
A few weeks ago, I picked up a copy of the little mag, SCRAPBOOK TRENDS, November 2008, "Scrapbooking Gratitude" -- and was totally inspired by pages 52-53, "NOEL", by Kandis Smith. It's a darling, collage-style (with stitching, no less!) card -- and I was off and running {in my head, that is} with card ideas ...
Kandis Smith's NOEL card, the one that inspired all this Christmas magic !!!
Here's a few shots of our dining room table, aka, Princess Magpie's Workshop, with some of the Christmas card elements displayed ...
I'll do a "from this to THIS" photo posting later, when cards are done !
Meanwhile, although Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, I am putting on the new Faith Hill CD of Christmas music and rolling up my sleeves and getting started.

Now if the weather would just cooperate and COOL DOWN some, I'd be happy-beyond-words.

PLEASE tell me it's your 2008 Christmas cards, not 2009 Christmas cards. I couldn't bear it if you were that far ahead of me!
of course it's 2008 -- if I were to be that far ahead, making 2009 cards now, I'd surely MISPLACE them by next year's holidays! you know my messy spaces !!! ;-) thanks for making me smile this AM. - PM, aka, Davielle
