Well, it had to happen didn't it - I have made some Christmas Cards. On Monday the guys moved in and began taking the old bedroom furniture out so that meant I was relegated to my craft room so between making cups of tea I set to with my Christmas card making and now have over 30 cards ready and waiting to have envelopes addressed and sent off.
It was a batch making process, never before have I made so many all the same but there is a reason for that although I am not making any more in that design. When I get bored and make several then the year after I don't know who has received what so this time I will have a fair idea.
Here's my desk amid batch making:
Now to decide what I am going to make to send to my son. Bless him, he said not to bother as life was so hectic here but I can't not make them a Christmas card. Today is his birthday but the card is a commercial one as he prefers the funny ones so it seems the correct day to make his other card. What the heck will I do?
Perhaps I can gain some inspiration from the blog hop that takes place every Wednesday with Ms Julia and her happy band of crafters. Think I will pop on over and see what I can glean. Toodle Pip!

Wow. You are amazing. 30 cards. I am so impressed! Hugs-Erika
Hi Neet, commiserations on the “madly doing before it’s too late mode”. Somehow I’ve left off the madly but and still puddling along doing it and too bad if it’s too late!
Definitely Christmas with red and green in the mix!
Happy WOYWW, when everyone is up I’ll get a number.

I must now face the writing.. which I find even more of a chore than making them, lol. I do have a few special ones to make still. Helen #?
Morning Neet, gad you managed to get your Christmas cards done. Hope you find a suitable idea for your son's and that the bedroom fitting goes well and quickly. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
A one-wowan card factory! Nothing wrong with making same design - until YOU get bored :)
Happy WOYWW!

Oh Neet, what trial to be banished to the craft room! I batch make Christmas cards so I know who gets what, and although it is not all that inspirational, I find it faster also!
Blessings

Sounds like it’s all go at your house Neet. Good luck with the card making for your son.

I'm glad that the bedroom renovations are underway, hope it all gets done really soon, in time for Christmas. I tend to batch do cards too, haven't got the papery inspiration for anything else....most of mine are bought cards this year, just not enough time for anything else.
Have fun and keep well,
Hugs, LLJ 12 xxx
I've been there with the *Have I sent this one before* cards.. I used to write down what I had sent then lost the book i'd wrote it all down in. This year I will not have to worry about that at all.
Happy WOYWW Neet HUgs Tracey #8
P.S Hope all goes to plan with the Bedroom & Happy Birthday to your Son xx
Morning Neet. Goodness - your household sounds BUSY! I do hope you get the card made for your son, and get everything else done which needs doing today.
Take care. God bless.

Well done you with the card making. My sewing demands are many so I doubt I may have to buy a few to finish off this year.
Hugs,

Great job on getting your cards started!!!! Mine will be shop bought again this year. I admire your patience in sitting down and packing on with it :) P xx
30 cards! That's fantastic. I sent out my photo cards and now have to make my handmade ones for my crafty friends. I decided years back to only make cards for the people that will appreciate the effort and not toss them on December 26th. So that lowered the number of cards I have to make each year. I typically create a batch process for them too. Have a blessed day friend!

Hi Neet, well done on the batch making. I find I can do that now I make them all year, I used to get totally fed up with the process! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 X
Hi Neet, generally I make a batch of Christmas cards as I just find it quicker then make a few special ones for parents and hubby and close friends. Have a great woyww and a happy creative week, Angela x16x
Well blimey, 30 cards in one sitting, that’s super amazingly impressive! How sweet of you, I wonder if you’ve made 30 cups of tea as well! Me and Bart went to do an install at a house last Friday and we’d been there two hours and were just packing up when the lady of the house asked us if we’d like a cuppa....we declined politely and she said ‘are you sure...I don’t mind you using the kitchen’!!!
Hi Neet, well done on the mega card making session. I've yet to find the time or the inclination for a proper C card session, so I'm afraid you won't find any inspiration on my blog. I hope the bedroom renovations all go according to plan. And good luck with the card for your son. I'm trying to think of something lovely for the cards for my daughters, and failing miserably! Have a lovely weekend away, hugs Heather xx #14
I like the idea of making a batch of cards - perhaps even having one card that represent that year, that you could look back on and say "that was the card for 2018". May try that next year! Thanks for your kitty name suggestions, I do like the idea of naming her something Christmassy, hubby has to weigh in too, so I will add those names to the list! Thanks for your visit, have a great week, Lindart #2
I'm glad I made some cards earlier in the year! I'm ready for a bit of batch making now! Taking the easy way I think! Hugs,Chrisx
Hi Neet. Thanks for popping by, I'm late replying - so sorry. Hope the renovations go well and quickly!! After windows and bathroom this year I have had enough for Now :-) Still a couple of things to be finished in the bathroom, will be so glad when it is all finished. hugs Anne x #19
Gosh, it seems ages since I visited! 30 cards in one go is very impressive - perhaps I should lock myself in my craft room too, so I don't have a choice LOL! I'm sure you'll come up with a good idea for your son's card and show us next week! See you soon! zsuzsa #6
