Christmas Crafting

Well, I've finally kicked myself into shape enough to start my Christmas Crafting.   I actually tried to start a few weeks ago but didn't get very far.  Each year I have such a hard time deciding on what design to use on my cards.  A few years ago, I made 20 different kinds of cards - each individually catered to each person.  That was the year I drove myself mad.  The next year I wizened up and chose one design for everyone.  However, in this theory, since it is only one design, in my messed up brain, that one design MUST be perfect. So I scour blogs and pinterest, magazines and books, then create a half dozen before I decide on one.

Last year, I discovered the assembly line method and was ready to give myself a Nobel prize.  Why did it take me so long to figure this out?  I do all the cutting of everything I need then move on down the line.  I finished my cards in record time.  This year, I've finally gotten the rough idea in my head and all paper and cards have been cut.  But I'm still not entirely sure where I'm going next.  I have an idea in my head but execution may be an issue.

Until I wrote this post, I was feeling pretty good about my progress...now, not so much...

Now where do I go?  A sane person would just go to Hallmark : )
