Well, we finally have some nice, warm weather in Wisconsin. It was a beautiful weekend. But, being my usual contrary self, I started working on my Christmas cards.
I have been trying to wait a while before coloring these sweet mice from Great Impressions Stamps, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. I see so many crafters getting a jump on their Christmas cards, so I thought I would give it a try. Maybe I won’t be rushing to get enough finished in November and December this year. We’ll see. One card does not make a trend, but at least it’s a start.
I hope you have a wonderful week! Thank you for stopping by!
