Hello, Just me, super late at reading e-mail, again. I do have some great excuses linked to traveling and overwork, but I'll skip them.

Oh, I usually start making Christmas presents in January, working a bit on them through to April, a bit more from April to August, and then a lot from September to early December. What isn't done by early December goes to next year. I also make a lot of my Christmas cards. Since I write the cards in November, and mail them in early December, I actually start making Christmas cards (for the following year) in December. I currently have 15 done, all bells, some in tatting and some in bobbin lace. It's fun. Yep, I'm one of those "Christmas all year long" type of person. I must admit that a few years back, I scaled down the hand-made Christmas presents. First year it happened not a peep from anyone. Second year, major complaints!!! Every one wanted to know how come I missed "them" two years in a row!!!!! Not really a big deal, I just like making things ....
