finish my christmas cards and send them out

I have sent out the bulk of my “Seasons Greetings” cards, but have a dozen or so that I haven’t been able to finish. I always have something else that is more pressing to do instead. I would like to send out these cards before the end of February 2009.

Nonetheless I’m not sending anymore until the end of 2008. So I suppose I have finished this goal for the year, just by sending out the one card I sent.

I still haven’t done this and I have about four more cards I was wanting to send. But I think that since my cards say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I’m going to put in there that I hope they have a good New Year’s and that there Christmas was well. So I’m not peeling this goal off my list just yet.

So far I’ve only finished and sent out one.

Got Anna’s hair cut, but didn’t get around to taking the pictures. Aargh. Thank God I adopted this goal early.

Anna’s getting her hair cut next Saturday, so after, we’ll dress her up in one of her Christmas dresses (I love hand-me-downs), and take some pictures. Hopefully then those will be done long before I have to get to making the cards, which should eventually make the project less stressful closer to the holidays.

I hope.

Okay a little late (I emphasized the “AND HAPPY NEW YEARS” part of the cards) but I finished up making and sending these cards this morning. Soooo glad to pack up my Christmas craftsy stuff.

Now onto Thank you notes and a birthday card for my mom…

...but as far as I’m concerned it’s still Christmas until January 6th, Epiphany. But I want to have the second half of my Christmas cards sent out by December 31st. I finished my Chanukah cards last night. I did really great with the first “wave” of cards, got them out early, but then I stalled in the midst of the rest of holiday preparations. Time to finish these up!
