Well here it is..... and it's Wednesday and you know what that means. Miss Julia has organized us to post what we are working on by way of what our desk top looks like. This morning, rather than create, I decided it would be nice if I took inventory. I was pleasantly surprised with the number of Christmas cards I've already created. Having this journal turned out to be a great idea and it's keeping me focused. I not only have a count, I also have the names of everyone I'm sending to...
Want to see the close up?
I don't want to brag, but I'm getting close. Of course every time I think I'm close, I add another person. I must admit many of them are quite simple, however, all have been made with love and with certain people in mind as I create.
I'm off to work on a birthday card that I need to get done and soon. I hope you check out all the desks and comment on those that get you thinking....
Here's Miss Julia and she can fill you in on the rules, of which there are only a few...
So for now.....Happy Crafting,

Your journal is awesome, Mary, and I won't be showing my work area any time soon!!! LOLOL ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic Idea I usually figure out who's getting what in Nov and make my list then but I'm not doing too bad I'm behind you in cards it seems but I'm working my way through them slowly. Hugs Nikki No # yet
ReplyDeleteI am impressed - but I can't get into Christmas card mode until late in the year..which makes it a rush! have a good week.. Helen 5
ReplyDeleteOh that's so cute, but I truly cannot think about C-mas til past Halloween...
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW :)

Some people just make me feel plain inadequate!! No, seriously, well done you, on being so organised. I wish I was like that. I hope you have a wonderful week, Chris # 19
ReplyDeleteYikes, you put us disorganised folk to shame with cards made and a journal keeping track and knowing who they go to! LOL Well done, love the look of the journal, great idea. Annette #7
ReplyDeleteOhh my goodness I am in awe of people who are so organised. Not only do you have the cards but a list of people you are sending!! Amazing.

Your journal is an awesome idea...I have a Christmas card list, (an excel spreadsheet with names and addresses) which I've never actually counted but maybe should, but your journal is much prettier. Thanks for sharing...Vikki #22
ReplyDeleteGosh I thought I was good with getting Christmas sorted before the big month but you really out do me on this one. I do have a counter on my blog to remind me too. Wow good on you for getting in early and lovely creations too. You are right it is the love that goes into the creations that mean the most.

What a neat idea. I am pretty ahead with my cards but have other stuff to do for Christmas - well done you for being so organised (I had to smile at the numbers going up and down - I do that as well!!) Happy WOYWW, Cindy #56
ReplyDeleteI like that journal book. You've made a lot of Christmas cards. I always want to start making my Christmas cards early, but it NEVER happens. #61
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed! I'm another who always says I'm going to start early, but I can't even start to feel like Christmas cards till at least October. And anyway, October would be early for me, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #54 xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that journal Mary and I'm completely astounded at how many cards you already have made! I think you need to come and help me with mine when yours are done!

Love the journal idea, you are so organised. I will probably still be finishing mine in December. Happy Crafting, Angela x48
ReplyDeleteWhat a very organised idea to keep a count of the cards needed and those you've made - and in such a lovely notebook too. And you are doing well - a few more and you'll be able to sit back and relax :) Have a great week. Elizabeth x #39
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Sorry to peek in and dash... .OMG, I can't even fathom thinking about Christmas yet.... wedding planning for a son is top priority!! Love your idea for a journal to keep track of cards made. You will have to share that journal with me.. LOL

Hi Mary....super to see someone so organised especially when one has so many to make and send....I have a lot too and glad that I'm also making them through the year because writing them up sure takes time too. Well done, Cheers and have a great week Robyn#18
ReplyDeleteMade with love and each person in mind? Far far better than made in a resentful hurry next december. Great system. You have made loads already - you'll be doing them for strangers soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tag that is - and I'm impressed with the approach you are taking. I wish I was so organized in my efforts.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary - went backwards through your blog when you mentioned your Christmas Journal. This is a great idea. I'm so sorry 2013 was not a good Christmas for you - certainly hoping 2014 is a better one - and with all this organisation, I'm sure it will be!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Sarn xxx
Thanks for the inspiration Mary. I need something to keep the cards in that I've been making with sarn's Rudolph day, and this would be perfect to keep my list in too! Xxx
