So I had a little session with my Fiskars Fuse, and the snowflakes die, but instead of letterpressing with ink, I used versamark, then heat embossed with silver....three more cards under my belt.....
The chaps from Amazon continue to beat a path to my door, and the pile of presents is growing nicely. My next job is to spread everything out on the bed and make a list of what I have, and for whom......I usually find that I have a sackful of presents for one person, and none for another. Even though my kids are grown, I still enjoy getting them 'stocking stuffers', and last year my daughter presented me with a sack full of gifts of my own. 'You always do it for us mum' she explained 'I thought I would do it for you'................I haven't been so excited about opening stuff since I was a child!
How are your preparations going? I can ask this now we are in December! x
Love these cards Enfys ... the Silver and white is so beautiful. It reminds me of the snowy winters I enjoyed as a child living in Washington State. Sadly, there is no chance of seeing a snowflake here in Florida. I do miss the snow ... but don't tell my friends in the Northern States. (*wink*). As to my Christmas preparations ... I've started, but have a long way yet to go. Hugz xx
ReplyDeleteWell done on being so organised with Christmas - I think I need an extra month of time!
ReplyDeleteAny chance of making December a 12 week month with Christmas right at the end? That's how organised I feel right at this moment LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Enfys - there really is something magical about white & silver.

Beautiful, En! I only have a couple of gifts so far. Solo far behind. Lol I usually have most done by now! Lol I know I will get it done. Enjoy your shopping. Hugs Jess
ReplyDeleteI only had two to buy for in my family so I am all done as of Nov. but I always collect clothing items for the less unfortunate folks which gives them a boost at Christmas. Always receiving presents even if they are from strangers.
DeleteI love your snowflake cards, the silver and white are beautiful together. I will have to remember this for next year. I have more shopping,decorating, and baking to do. My son has requested that we make ginger bread cookies this year. That will be my husband's job!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with my 2 kids. I start buying and think I'll write it all down so I know how much I have for each. The I stash it away without writing it down, and when I pull it out to wrap a few days before Christmas I find I don't have enough for one of them...and off to the store I go!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!! Shopping??? i haven't even started yet :( the adult children are easy we buy them a whole family gift then teens gift cards but the little ones (we only have 2 and growing to fast) that's when we have fun shopping)...don't you just luv when your children say it's your turn to receive the gift...Bless her heart

ReplyDeleteVery nice cards Enfys, love the touch of silver. Have nearly all my shopping done, gets a bit easier when the kids get older but I do have two grandkids now to spoil lol. Will I ever be done?? Would love a sack full of surprises myself lol.
