Well, strictly, that's not true. I spent a couple of nights this week making this:
Which I am very pleased with. (It is missing a ribbon, which I haven't bought yet — it was sort of a spontaneous project. I am thinking some sort of plaid.) It took so long because tracing out and then cutting leaves? Takes time.
For those of you that are interested, the tutorial is here. Mine is made from craft paper gift wrap (printed with Christmas motifs), and the colour leaves are from washi. You can make it out of anything you happen to have lying around, really.
But anyway, aside from a paper wreath that I very suddenly decided to make, I have not done any work. I still love the idea of crafting in general and handmade Christmas cards in particular, but I think I may be over the actual doing of it. Doing takes work, and time. Time that could be spent sleeping. Or, I suppose, cleaning — although that never seems to get done, either (oops).
This may change after this weekend. We are going to the One of a Kind Show tonight (whee!), and that always signals the beginning of the Christmas season for me. And this year we've got an entire house to decorate! We may even get a real tree.
