My Christmas Card designs for this year!

Hi everyone,


I have finally finished this years Christmas cards!!!! Woo! I will be starting a lot earlier than end of November in 2010 for sure! I am now so behind on everything else it's a nightmare! lol!  I'm usually so organised, I really don't know what happened this year! It has definitely gone far to quick!!

Having said that, I have actually wrapped all presents up and they are under the tree ready for Christmas Day.  Looks so pretty!  Looking at it though, Mark and I have bought way to much as usual...oops. haha!

I still have to buy all the food and tidy up the house and re-arrange everything ready for the family to come over.  I have 6 over on Boxing Day and then 9 over the following day.  Where I am going to put all these people, I really don't know, but it's part of the fun, right?

I have had such a wonderful collection of handmade cards from people this year.  It has really brightened up my fireplace compared to the usual shop bought cards, which are still lovely to receive of course!

I don't think I am going to have much time to post before Christmas, so I just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all and a VERY HAPPY 2010!

Lots of love,
