Morning readers,
Last day of NOVEMBER? This can only mean one thing, Christmas is only weeks away, and I'm still making Christmas cards! And, how was Black Friday for you yesterday? I had ordered something from a well known online store which arrived yesterday. It was billed as the perfect solution to an issue I had, even showing photographs of a configuration pretty much exactly the same as I wanted AND it was available in purple. Hmm, you know how you think it's too good to be true? And how it often proves to be that it IS too good to be true? Same thing happened, I filled this FABULOUS (their words not mine) gadget with the items shown in the photo .. some of the items simply didn't fit the space and then the whole thing didn't close - hmmmmffff - disappointed, or what? It's ALREADY on its way back to them! Grrrr, guess I'm still looking for that perfect gadget!
Enough whinge-ing - I've a make to share with you today .... this is the last batch make of my 20 Christmas card commission, I had hoped to have finished the "all occasions but blank" commission too but that was never going to happen as there don't appear to be enough hours in the day!. After an electronic "chat" with my customer we decided to get the Christmas cards winging their way to the U.S. in time for her to start writing (and mailing) them in time for Christmas!!! FINGERS CROSSED . . . . .
