Christmas in September...



Well, here it comes. Now begins that time of year that seems to start with a yawn and stretch and then quickly steamrolls us right to the end of the year. I read in interesting thought on a wonderful little blog Posie Gets Cozy about the old year folding itself up and touching corners and I think of her and her fam every time I fold a sheet or blanket or towel. Some things just get kind of stuck in your head! You should definitely check her blog out. It is a sweet treat! I am busy playing around with paper and making cards. The idea for this card came from all the latest trends on other people's blogs, like the adorableness of making pleated paper"ribbon", and the pleated paper rosettes. I have always loved paper and have very fond memories of getting ready for back to school because it meant new paper, crayons, and glue. I think some things really never do change! The UPS man makes me so happy when he shows up with my new Close To My Heart goodies! Gotta love 'em! Here's my pretty little ruffly Christmas card. I like the way it turned out but I still haven't perfected the art of sewing on paper. My machine sometimes makes mincemeat out of it, so I suppose I will have to go buy one of those little el-cheapo paper stitching machines. Probably save the wear and tear on my Brother anyway!
