Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – Autumn Winter Carryover Favourites…
OK so this may be a slightly random post for a Thursday afternoon, but at the weekend, I shared a photo of my pile of crafting for my Customer Thank You cards on my Facebook page and asked what everyone was up to. Well, the lovely Camilla mentioned that she had prepped 160 card blanks ready for Christmas. Talk about organised!
Well it got me thinking and wondering how far ahead we crafters work for ‘big seasonal’ events.
I know those of you who work within the Wedding Industry work pretty far ahead, particularly if you’re making all the stationery, and I work far ahead to keep my blog and YouTube channel running, even when I take time off (my children break up from school for 2 weeks next week, but business will remain as usual), so how far ahead are you for Christmas?
I took a look on my Online Shop to see what was still around and carrying over from the recently retired Winter Catalogue, and there’s still a lot out there. Not just for Christmas I may add.
So I thought I’d share in my final few days of work before the smallies descend on me for Easter, and play the irony card of Easter is approaching, so let’s talk Christmas…!

My Christmas cards are prepped too and will be completed by June so I can have 2 months off and they are ready to go into the shops at the beginning of September!
I work a year behind using last years Christmas stamps and dies but by doing that I get to see all the lovely samples that everybody else has done and I can make something similar and I don’t feel under any pressure to get my cards done.
I have about half of my cards made – mainly due to lots of snow, so lots of time to craft!
