I put the snowmen to bed

Hopefully I will not put my crafty pals to sleep with this post. I would miss you all terribly if I did, as I love reading your comments. I hope you are all well and that life is reasonably fair to you. Having achieved a good balance between drinking coffee and wood preserving, life here has been ticking along nicely, although I have been too tired to blog. 
The BIG tidy is a total mess with my bright decision to use stash as I went along. Everyone knows that this year is total bedlam here so I will be forgiven for these are my Christmas cards. I was tempted to just make sawdust shaker cards. Can I put them in the postbox yet!!!! OK Patricia I will wait a while, lol. Patricia from http://patricia-summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/ knows I am soooo impatient, I won't be buying anything on pre-order again. 
I felt the snowman decoupage lacked definition so I took out my pencils and pens and had a play. Added to that what do you do with backing papers that are a bit too much, so they became card fronts instead (I won't show these individually but you will get the gist). I may add a bit of glitter before I send them, so apart from some sheets of backing paper that is another empty box. Here come the snowmen plus 3.





 Hugs to all, Flora.

    Still keeping busy one way and another I see - well done for getting all these Snowman cards made. Mind you put them in a safe place - if you are like me they'd be lost by December only to turn up again in January next year!!

    Oh! My! Word! Flora you have been busy, they areal fantastic. Just think at Christmas while we are all getting in a "tizzy" cause we have no cards made. You will be sitting with your feet up drinking tea feeling rather smug. Just remember where you put them!!!

    You have been busy Flora, it looks like you've got Christmas covered, onto next Easter now I suppose!
    Such a lovey selection of cards, I especially love the decoupage ones and the LOTV ones.

    Hi Flora, you have a lovely selection of Christmas cards there, very well organised. I always do Christmas last minute.com and envy those who are good and make them throughout the year.
    The snowman always reminds me of the Iron bru advert....I know it should be the other way round but I do love that advert.

    Hugs Erika.

    I'm so jealous!!! You've come such a long way with your Christmas cards! You've probably made several cards by the time I've decided what image and papers to use, lol!
