Well I am happy to say that my ''Happy'' (machine) is taking a well deserved rest and so am I. Just finished my last order and I am pooped. Every year I say cut off is Dec. 1st and every year I go past that deadline. If you are like me, you don't want to dissapoint (especiall the regular customers) and so we take on more that we should.
Well, done for another year, of course now I still have to decorate the house, go shopping, do some baking, oh I think I shoud stop thinking and just enjoy the fact that I am done.Anyone else like me or have you all finished and are ready for the big day?
thanks for listening,
hugs to all

1377I am all done also. I too set a deadline for making my own things, then I can do things for others if they need something. I always get my list done first. Left things to the last minute one year and have never done it again. I like to enjoy the holidays and not stress myself out.

Last year I sent out email cards, my family was blown away. They call me Martha Stewart because I decorate big time. My excuse last year was that I had surgery on Dec. 11 but this year is just that time has run out. Might have to go electronic again lol.
11271Good for you! No, I am no where near ready! I'm making something different for my kids and families - they all like my cabbage rolls and perogies! so, guess what I'm making them! lol

Baking, I have so cut back, hubby doesn't eat sweets and my daughter will be making dessert for xmas supper. I find if I make to much, it finds it way to my waistline, go figure (literally lol)

No, these aren't sweets. I haven't made any of those in a long time - I like certain ones and get carried away, so safer not to have any and now hubby is diabetic - so his sweet tooth is on hold, lol.
38558I spent the weekend making 15 humbug bags and 9 Christmas stockings. All for a paying customer. I think I am done and now can get to the 10 things I want to do for myself but you never know.
