Has anyone found a brain?...

...Because I don't know where mine's at!?!  I HAD intended to post this on Sunday, to share the cards we made at our last workshop of the year, but with all good intentions, it is now Wednesday...it is Wednesday isn't it?!  I am trying to finish off ready for the big day next week, but seem to be finding myself coming backwards!  I've managed to post off cards that needed sending today, plus a number of Birthday cards for people who so inconsiderately have their Birthdays in December! (Only kidding, I love you al really!) I don't even know if I have bought all the presents I need and to be honest, don't know if I even care as I have now run out of money...oh, the joys of Christmas!  I am DETERMINED to be more oganised next year as I am not feeling very festive at all this year due to the fact that, despite knowing it is coming all year, I have once again left it until the month of December to start sorting things out!  I am making myself a promise for my New Year's resolution that I am going to hand make the majority of my presents next year and before December arrives too!  Here's hoping...

Anyway, enough of my Bah Humbugness, here's the cards we made on Saturday...
..The first was what I've seen called as a tissue box card - this is it folded down flat to go in an envelope...
...and popped up!  The base resembles a tissue box with the slit in the top, hence the name, I presume...
...We created a pocket on the back to add money or a gift wallet.  The Dr Seuss verse I found online and is supposed to be a touch of irony!...
...Our second card was made using heart dies to create Christmas trees...
...We created a front step card to give more dimension to the trees and added a sentiment cut with SB Labels Eleven.
So, there we are - better late than never?!  I hope you are getting on with your festive arrangements a little better than me and I hope that the Christmas spirit finds me soon....maybe a bottle of Rosé would help?  Oh, and if anyone finds a brain, can they please send it to me via any means possibe!
Big crafty hugs,

Oh dear Lisa, you are in a bad way :) I don't think you are alone though, I am having trouble mustering up some festive spirit even though I am sitting here making still more Christmas cards and gift bags for my last Christmas stall before the big day. I haven't put up my tree nor a piece of tinsel yet and I fear it will be time to take them down before I get around to it. I have however finished and wrapped my pressies so just the food to think about now. I'm sure you will sort everything out soon and it will just come together at the last minute, it always does and we wonder what all the fuss was about - till next year, lol. The important thing is to spend time with family and loved ones, that's what counts. It is the laughs and the good times that are remembered, not the glittery gifts.
So on that note I will wish you and your family a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy and healthy and Organised New Year! :) :)
