Raise your hand if you're a busy mom who has more crafts on the must-try list than you'll ever have time to actually accomplish. Oh, you too? I love papercrafts, fabric crafts, home decor -- you name it, and I want to try it. This is where I share everything I squeeze in after the kids are in bed and the laundry's done!

Christmas Card Frenzy, 2007
I've never been together enough to do handmade Christmas cards for the bazillion people on my list, but this may be my year! I was asked to teach a Christmas card class for Relief Society (my church's women's organization), so I was challenged to come up with designs that would be fun and cute, but simple enough for a lot of people of various skill levels to put together quickly without a lot of advance preparation on my part. (What can I say -- I'm just not that together!) I went a little crazy buying stamps for this endeavor -- 2 sets from Stampin Up, one from Hero Arts, and I've seen some coming out next month that I know I'm going to NEED -- but I am always crazy buying Christmas stuff. I just get to start good and early this year! I had a blast making these. Hope you like them! The paper is from DCWV, Basic Grey, and Pebbles, Inc -- if you have a question about anything specific, just holler! Oh, and that fab fat red and white ribbon is from a big Costco spool. 50 yards for $6.99? I'm so there!
WOW! You've been busy. My favorite is the one with the wide red ribbon! I love the Cuttlebug design with the simple "Circle of Friendship" stamp, and the ribbon? WOW! It's perfect! What a bargain! Geez, people get great stuff at Costco!
