It started simply enough. While craft-store shopping in November, I decided that for Christmas, I would make the moms and grandmas calendars.
I soon realized I would need to make several calendars…like 5.
I then realized it was already November and I had about 4 weeks to get stuff done.
I began to question how much I really loved these women.
And whether any of their gifts would actually be finished by Spring…
This project was quickly going to h*ll in a hand basket as they say…
…But I buckled down, thought happy thoughts and got it done.
(Happy thoughts of flowers and summer of course…)
Thankfully the project was finished on time which was cause for much celebration!
A bicycle ride perhaps?!? (no silly, it’s winter)
Next fall, I’m starting my Christmas gifts in September…
…or at the VERY latest Halloween.
So come Turkey-day my gifts are all buttoned up, and I have nothing to do but relax and enjoy the holiday season…
…instead of being hunched over my crafting table like one of Santa’s elves as I did this year.
