Though I have done Christmas cards each year, I consider myself a very challenged card-maker, lol. I'll make the chat if I can! My DH and father-in-law are installing an all-house fan up in our attic today, so I am in charge of our 3 boys plus possible errand running for the "construction workers" plus will be heading out to get Subway for lunch at some point when they can stop working for a bit.

It's easy to pretend it's Christmastime (ie winter) here today...cool, dreary, wet. Doesn't take a lot of imagination!

[B&K Mom]

How fun! I hope to join the chat. I'm such a procrastinator on things like Christmas cards. So if I start now, I might be able to get them done....after the procastination....BEFORE Christmas this year! LOL

[PBarnes]

I'm with Cheri and Debbie. I have done cards but I consider myself severely card-design challenged. And Debbie, I'm right there with you on the procrastination thing. I think I can find time in my day to make the chat!

[Syndee]

Hey maybe if I start the cards now I might actually finish them in time this year! LOL

[Sara Arell]

LOVING the sale! Thank you, Scrap Girls!

That is what I was thinking! I see your beautiful cards each year and think..I SHOULD have had this done.

[Sara Arell]

I don't dare do Christmas cards this early - I'll just change my mind when it gets closer to Christmas!

[MariJ]

Haha, Sara that's funny, but actually when I think of it? As much as I'd like to be "early" I think you're right and if I made a card now, I'd change my mind or think of something else by Christmas!

So? Then just put the one you created aside and work on a new one...then you already have an option for the following year! You could start your own stash of pre-designed Christmas cards

That just sounds too smart for me. But it would be a great thing to have.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...

[Sara Arell]

HeeeeHeeeee!!! Or should I say Ho! Ho! Ho! LOL. Theresa!!

[Sara Arell]

Somehow I just knew Theresa was going to sing Jingle Bells!!

[Sheri Johnson]

I never thought to make cards this early. I should start my shopping now too, avoid the crowds!

[AnnBK]

Here's mine: HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[Sara Arell]

I actually have made half a dozen "thinking of you" kinds of cards this month - we've had alot of sad situations going on with friends here - never even thought about posting them - I'll have to go back and see if they were good enough to post.

I was just thinking Christmas cards for some reason!


Left you some love on that cute birthday card, Ann.

[gophergirl]

This is reminding me I need to do thank you cards right now!
