Let the countdown begin...

So here we are eleven days left, and I could not be crazier. Every year I tell myself I’ll start early on everything, but noo, I never do. WHY!!! The list is long as usual. There’s still more presents to be bought and wrapped, gingerbread house to be made, cookies to be baked, Cards to be made and mailed, ( yes I know I’m crazy trying to do that now!) and pictures to be taken. I originally planned on going to the studio and using our portraits for the cards, but I haven’t even made our appointment yet! So last night I attempted to take pictures of the kids in front of our tree. Well besides them both being tired and cranky, I had my camera on the wrong setting and also took the pictures horizontal instead of vertical. Well I thought I could fix that, but it appears I can’t. Unless, someone out there knows how to? I tried my hardest and couldn’t. So if you do, please let me know how. So anyways, tonight will be take two, on the pictures. And hopefully by some Christmas miracle my cards will be out tomorrow and Everyone on my list will get one this year! Here’s my progress so far. Today I feel like I made a dent. I went shopping, starting wrapping, and Tonite I’m finishing up the assembly on the cards. Well I also managed to make a Christmas countdown, pictured, before the beginning of December! I’ve had these Making Memories blocks for years now, and saw the idea somewhere in blogland, and was so inspired. I finished it up in no time! Sadly that’s the only creative thing I’ve done, besides my cards since November. Maybe after the holiday I’ll be able to get back to being creative. But who am I kidding, I’ll have to start planning Jenny’s 4th birthday party! Oh well, I hope you all are enjoying your holiday season so far, and hopefully getting through your to-do’s as well. Thanks for still stopping by, If there’s anyone still reading !
