Not waiting till the last minute...



Anyone who knows me, knows what a procrastinator I am...smile. I Leave everything go till the last minute. I Even wait, every year, till the last minute to make Christmas cards. My two Thursday night Crafting buddies, have been working on their Christmas cards...so they have inspired me to start making some too.

Some of the images and papers I have used on these cards...I had for along time, so I'm not sure who they are made by.

  3. These cards are lovely, I especially like the top one . . . it has such a vintage feel of days gone by. You are inspiring me to start thinking about Christmas. This will be the first year in a while that I am not making cards, just because we have a great photo taken this year and I've never sent those photo cards. I have been thinking of Christmas crafts and decorating, maybe some paper-crafting ornaments.
    I am your newest follower. Please come over and pay me a visit, I would me thrilled if you followed back.
    Have a great week, Connie :)

  8. Well done Jil, these are lovely cards.
    I usually mass produce mine in mid-November then procrastinate about sending them until it is almost too late :-)

  9. Yay for you and they are wonderful! So you are a slacker too huh - I am one of the worst!!!! I usually get about 50% of them done in time and then I have to crank them out up until Christmas. One year, I did sorry I am late Christmas cards - seriously!!!! They had a rabbit and they said, "I am a hare late for Christmas 2010 so let me be the first the wish you Merry Christmas 2011." Awful!!! Love the ornaments on your cards!
