I can't believe that another year is drawing to a close - and once again I was late with my own Christmas cards! I have been frantically busy this month but you wouldn't know it to look at my blog! I know I'm no exception as so many of my demonstrator friends are woefully sharing that while they prepared hundreds of Christmas cards for classes over the past few months, so many of us didn't manage to make and send many of our own cards out! I think perhaps we Demonstrators should get an exemption for Christmas and send New Years' cards instead...
I don't have a project to share with you tonight - if I shared a Christmas card it'd be a bit late because the big guy in the red suit is already on his way around the world and it's too late to be sending out your Christmas cards. So I think sometime in the next week I'll share some other work I've had up my sleeve for a little while. I just wanted to post a message on here to all my wonderful customers and stamping friends, thank you for being part of my life and encouraging me to keep stamping and smiling even when things are a little tough!
My heart goes out to the people of Christchurch, it was devastating to hear that they had another series of major quakes yesterday, at the worst possible time as we all prepare for Christmas Day. It would be so hard to be shovelling the sludge from your house and street while the power is off and you've got a raw turkey in the fridge... A small blessing it didn't happen on Christmas Day itself I suppose (though that day is still to come yet - hopefully Christchurch has seen the worst of it!).
Having lived in Christchurch some years ago, it makes me realise how blessed I am to have a stable roof over my head here in Auckland. Tomorrow I will have a table laden with a Christmas feast and I have a wonderful family and special friends to spend the day with. That's what Christmas is all about for me - enjoying a special meal and spending time with those you love and being grateful for what you have. Forget the commercial stuff - I'm staying home on Boxing Day too, I'd rather not fight the crowds at all the sales!
Merry Christmas to you all,
