Christmas For Crafters

If you have walked into a Michael's, Joann's, Hobby Lobby or A.C. Moore you have probably noticed that Fall is in full swing and Christmas is getting set up.  Many people think it is ridiculous how early the holiday merchandising is going up but from a Crafter's perspective it is perfect.  I am already in the Christmas holiday mood since the past couple of days I have been making Christmas cards for a future SAS.  Pam's November SAS (Stamp and Stack) is always her biggest SAS and I get to be there for it, Yay!  I was lucky enough to receive from Pam a bunch of new Christmas stamp sets and other items to play and create with.  So, while it is sunny and 90+ outside inside the Crafty Cottage is it cool, thanks to the air conditioner, and there were even Christmas tunes playing on the iPad to keep me in the Christmas mood.  For crafters we need supplies early if we are going to be making gifts or decorations in time for Christmas.  So thank you to all the craft stores that have our crafting backs so that we can get our Christmas gifts and decorations done before the holiday.  It is Christmas time for crafters.  "Deck the halls with boughs of holly...fa la la la la fa la la la!"
