My beloved acknowledged the fact that as of 1st October my thoughts include CHRISTMAS!! He was not in the least surprised when I sent him the trailer for Saving Mr Banks, to his email with the tag ' want to see this together' under it! He is not a fan of Christmas and finds my obssession with it amusing. I am tolerated and humoured by him so that is fine. I can live with that!!!
First steps towards this years Christmas cards!! I need to do something different each year so have made
a start with this punch and some inks and my dove stamp. Not sure I like these colours - I usually go for
something brighter so might change that. I have been lucky in that my inks are really old . . .and still enough in them to last through this years batch as well! I look after them well. Coddling them upside down to keep the ink in the pad and not in the top. I have loved my punches especially the one or two
larger ones I possess - the snowflakes ones go well with my snowflakes stamps I'm thinking as I write this down....
The hardest part this morning was trying to remember where I had stashed my Christmas leftover products! Everything had been neatly put away - but where? I had made so much room for the wedding invitations (now on hold as I have completed the save the dates which are needed this year) and moved aside. I notice that I forget these things (worrying or natural?) but fortunately my recent tidy up enabled me to recall sooner than normal where everything was! I am trying not to buy any products apart from some paper for my album December Daily, and my cards. The rest I have in house - ribbons ( though I hate using my prettiest up), cards and envelopes, glue dots, buttons, beads etc. So shall I go extravert or shall I go simple? Who knows; at this stage I certainly don't!!!
