shiny and new

Oooh, my first post on my new everyday blog...something about shiny and new that just makes me a bit giddy! :D Of course, it also feels a bit "pressure-filled"...like I need to make it really spectacular or something. But a.) I don't do spectacular, and b.) a big part of the reason I started afresh was to get rid of the pressure.

Hear that Debra Anne--NO PRESSURE. You are hereby ordered to be yourself, in all your boring glory!

Awww...I really like this feeling. :D

So, what's on the agenda for today?

*getting at least 10 more Christmas cards made and ready to mail (I really need to learn the art of mass production, instead of trying to make so many "different" cards)

Here's the first one of the day.















*wrap gifts for final two boxes that need mailed, and get boxes ready to mail (I'm somewhat mortified that I don't have all boxes mailed already, but hopefully there's still plenty of time)

*wrap at least ten gifts for under our tree (I love wrapping presents!)

Here's the first one of the day. I love simple raffia ribbon. And using photo corners to paste on simple gift tags.












*finish Subject To Debate, an awesome collection of essays by Katha Pollitt (I can't thank Ana enough for introducing her to me!)

*make list of what I'm baking this year (usually I have several things baked and in the freezer by now *sigh*)

*enjoy the beautiful snow falling

Okay, off to conquer...
