Warmest Wishes Flamingo

Something tells me I'm going to be crazy - I'm sorry, crazier - than usual this week.  The funny part about this is that I had the majority of my Christmas shopping done in October to avoid any type of stress.  It didn't help that I got the stomach bug on Friday, and then a mini-blizzard yesterday into today.  Ugh! 

The custom order Christmas cards are beginning to die down now, thank God. Actually, the last item I shipped out was a custom order based on the "Vera Bradley" Thinking of You card I posted the other day.  Someone who bought the Java Blue Vera Bradley bag for their sister ordered it to match her gift.  I notice when I post a new card, I have at least 1-2 custom orders based on that design the following day. This blog thing is quite funny that way. :)

Now I'm seeing an increase in Thank You card orders.  My inventory for my Mod Thank You notecards has dwindled all the way down to one lonely set.  I never noticed how many people send Thank You cards for Christmas gifts. It's a nice idea.

The plan tonight is to finish up two more orders and WRAP SOME GIFTS!  In the meantime, I'm posting a card I made last night for a flamingo-nut. Paper is from Stampin' Up.

Tomorrow is Christmas cookie baking after work with my mom. I'll post the recipe for her Italian Pitzelle Snowflake cookies everyone always asks me about.

Thanks for visiting!
