Woohoo! I finished my Christmas Cards!!

...And what a great feeling that is.  I have literally been working on my cards off and on and of since mid-summer.  It's a lot of work to make all your own cards, and I am already planning ahead for next year and going to make them all year long, so I'm not "swamped" this late again!

  But, my 2009 cards cards are FINALLY all made, addressed, stamped and totally ready to go.  A huge accomplishment and one that I am truly happy to have done.  I also managed to wrap up three special Christmas gifts and also packaged them, so that all ready to ship out tomorrow too.    It did, amazingly, take me the last three days to get this DONE, but I am thrilled that I have finished. 

Now---I can concentrate on wrapping the gifts that need to be hand delivered locally and then finish up with the ones that stay here!  It's still quite a bit, but having my cards and mailing packages done, is awesome. 

I am also going to start looking to see if I can find a new "smaller" tree to buy and give away or donate our big tree.  Its' simply too heavy, to hard to get in/out every year and I think it's time we scaled down a bit.  The kids are older and I'm the ONLY one who does the decorating...and I simply can not do it all anymore.  Having Fibro just make it much too hard...and I am way too tired.

Today, I feel pretty good consider how much I have done in the past three days--I HOPE I can continue to feel okay and if so, I'll manage!    Now...to focus on finding a TREE is my next task!   If not...we may be "treeless" this year and scale back on the other decorations too, which is kind of a bummer!!
