Christmas is on its way!

No really, it is!!

Now for those of you that don't know me well, but know me enough to say that I am sick & wrong, I am about to validate your sentiment. I am a year-round shopper. I run around with a Christmas list in my purse or in my car that has everyone's name, the kids' ages, things they are into, etc. I shop out of season and clearance or good sale only; I pay full price for nothing. I get these things home and inventory them on the computer and my husband has a system in the garage of what goes where so that when I ask for it, he knows exactly which Rubbermaid box it's in. And I get all my Christmas shopping done by October 5th (my birthday). And then on October 6th, I start wrapping. Yes, I am wrapping Christmas presents before Halloween. Hey - Costco has Christmas stuff for sale in August!

So here's a lil' Christmas card I made with last year's My Mind's Eye Christmas stuff. When I got in to card making on Christmas last year, I stocked up on all the clearance stuff after. I didn't know then what a faux pas it would be to use last year's Christmas papers on this year's cards. But I figure the people that get these cards aren't gonna know *wink* I have I think about 20 cards made. I am not mass-producing. No 2 Christmas cards that go out will be alike. I only need about 40 more. Some will obviously be more detailed and nicer than others - - the less good and more quicklike ones will go to Rob's family - ROTFL

Not sure what's up with that tightly-cropped picture, I took this months ago when I didn't know any better *giggles*

Nice to see you today!

OMG Michelle; you are not sick & wrong (LOL) you are SMART!!! Talk about being on top of things. I wish I was as organized as you.

And, SUPER card. I love that paper (have it myself) and I love the tag you made.

I love the tag on the card. It's perfect. You make a ton of Christmas cards. I am impressed (and lazy, not making that many Christmas cars ever)! I love this paper. Who cares how old it is when it looks great like that!

Very pretty card. I'm looking forward to my unique card when it comes.

You are sooo FUNNY LOL!!! I wouldn't call it sick and wrong, although you are, but to me this is organization at it's best! Love the tag on your card, and the ribbon treatment is fab!
