Almost every Friday morning I have a babysitter come over for two hours to distract the little one. I originally thought I would clean the house and feel great about it. But it turned into a two hour vacation in my craft area. I try to get as much done as I can and feel like I am racing the clock. But I've always worked better under pressure. If only I could get those Christmas cards started...
I have next Friday all planned out already. I am going to read up on Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas ahead of time (for all the new techniques) and get as many tags done as I can. I love this series on his blog! And my wish list of supplies is growing every day he does a new one.
Today I wanted to use up the rest of my twine zig-zags since I worked so hard on them. The layout has a similar feel to the original but I needed a birthday card this time.
I also wanted to package it up in my new favorite envelope - a glassine bag sealed with washi tape.
