Note to self...
I know just the thoughts of preparing for next Christmas this early will send many people in search of comfort food [chocolate, yum] but Christmas decoupage is something that can be started now & stockpiled for bunging on a card later... you know when I mean; the 3rd week in November when you finally drag your card lists out, peruse it, panic a bit while thinking "Ohhh, they sent us a really posh card last year, I'll have to beat that!". [been there, done that]
Well being prepared early means you can beat the amazing card you were sent, and look smug while doing so as you haven't had to stay up all night with vital bits of paper siliconed to your hair & soles of your slippers, but most importantly you don't sparkle from head to toe because you sneezed while glittering the snow scene [remember it was a really posh card you had to beat]

OK, so really I'm starting my Christmas decoupage early because I sold all my Christmas cards last year whilst we were at our caravan at Skegness, I wasn't left with one!
Just imagine it, I've showed off my talents [any crafter that isn't a proud show-off is a liar] so successfully that people I'd never even met knocked on the caravan door saying "so-and-so's shown me the cards you made for her, have you got any spare ones?"

And then before I knew it, the caravan had just closed for the season, therefore it's the beginning of November [yikes] & I've got no Christmas cards left, plus I've got 10 on order for friends at home that I've promised will be ready... soon.
Obviously you end up with the scenes described earlier ... siliconed hair, glitter... hmm?
