Christmas Spirit

I am starting to get in the Christmas cardmaking spirit BIG TIME. I actually rarely make Christmas cards to hand out to my family and friends…maybe I’ll change it up this year. I am wanting to make some cute, pastel tags- hopefully I can find some wrapping paper to match. If I can, I’ll definitely take pictures!

In the next few weeks, I want to start planning what I’m giving everyone for Christmas. There are a few people that are easy to buy for (ie youngest sister, brothers and a few friends), but then there are others I haven’t the slightest idea what I’ll give them. I’m going to *try* to set a budget this year since I really overdid it last year. I would love to make some handmade gifts this year, but I want them to look nice and be useful, any suggestions?

This weekend I was able to spend time with friends and got LOTS of laughs- an easy way to burn some calories. This upcoming week is my mom’s birthday, so I need to come up with a fab birthday card. If you didn’t get to see the card I made last year, here it is. It was such a labor of love, and of course, I feel like I have to top it this year. I have NO ideas at this point….hopefully I’ll have a burst of inspiration between now and Saturday!
I hope you enjoyed the first set of my Christmas cards! Have a great rest of the night!

  6. Love your Christmas cards. I too have been keeping it in the back of my mind because it will be here before we know it and we have so many to buy for it is best to get started early.

    Is Nami your mom? I had no idea, I didn’t even think she would be old enough to have an older daughter.
