I know lots of organized women that are going to have all their Christmas tasks completed by the end of this month. However, I am not one of them! No, not me. I'll still be figuring it out late Christmas Eve when I realized that I forgot batteries, need more clear tape and that nobody left out cookies for Santa... or even made any for that matter.

Oh well! There is a little corner of my mind where I imagine that one day I really put Martha to shame......... A place where the cards are handmade and sent out the weekend after thanksgiving, the lights on the house are all spaced perfectly and pointing the right direction, the children are all happy with clean, bright faces and everyone loves my thoughtful gifts. In other words, I have a great imagination!

It looks like several of you are well on your way to that happy place with your cute, hand-made Christmas cards. Take a look...... I'm so jealous!

Here's Debbie Olson's take.

So, how about you? Are you getting ready for Christmas already, or are you like me and you haven't even bought your pumpkins and candycorns yet? I know, I'm hopeless!
