Getting into the spirit of Christmas

Hello!!

Well it seems like forever since i have posted!! I have had a wonderful time down at the Craft and Quilt Fair in Brisbane, thank goodness Lyn was snapping off some photos, cause believe it or not i did not take 1 photo!! Yes I know, unbelievable hey?

It was lovely to catch up with Ngaire, to finally meet Lyn and her other half Rod, Trea from HO, Glenda, Merle, Beth, and Helen and of course all the enthusiastic people that came to visit the Fiskars stand, a great time was had by all :0)

Well i have yet to find a spare minute to create, but i thought i would share a project that is in the most recent issue of AUSTRALIAN CARDMAKING STAMPING AND PAPERCRAFT (VOL 15 NO 6) MAGAZINE. If you are looking for some inspiration for your chrissy cards and chrissy decorations, then this mag might just be what you are after :0)

I have used the clear stamps from Heidi Grace - "Sweetest Bugs Icons", "Girlfriend", "Baby" and  "Reagans Closet" I can't give any more details than that, but all the instructions can be found in the mag if you feel like creating one for yourself ;0)

You may remember a while back I did another frame so that i have a pair -

 

And it just so happens i have an extra copy of this mag...a rak is in order i think :0)

So if you would like the chance to go into the draw for this rak all you have to do is leave a comment and tell us if and how you have started getting organised for chrissy this year.

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget you still have a few days to get in for Debbies monthly challenge, details can be found up in the sidebar, go on.... step out of your comfort zone and have a go for your chance to win some Fiskars goodies :0).  Lyn also has another rak and the details can be found HERE , so plenty of blog bootie up for grabs at the moment ;0).

Good luck

Your framed tree is just gorgeous!!

I've made a few Christmas cards and tags. In fact one of them is really stepping out of my comfort zone but as I can't take any pictures right now I can't show you = (

I've also sent a big parcel to family overseas with lots of gifts inside, including a January birthday gift - talk about organised!! And I have one more parcel to send overseas. I'm hoping to pick up my last gift for that one this weekend at the markets.

Glad to see you back! I have taken the "no procrastination" stance. We are going away before Christmas this year so all activities must be bought forward! LOL
Nothing like a holiday to clear the cobwebs.
I am loving making cards at the moment so some special christmas cards planned, even got the kids involved the other weekend so special cards for the grandparents ready!
Also have my mother rewriting her favourite recipes for inclusion in a recipe book for my sister! (will be looking to your recipe book for inspiration) Jane x

Welcome back. The frame is so adorable, I wish I had a daughter to make one for, perhaps I will make one for myself.
I did a challenge early in the year so I already have 10 Christmas cards made, and I am going to make myself a Christmas organiser to with info like card list, present idea lists, menu planner etc - I hope that will help lol.
