Mayfly: wrapping it up

« I ain't too proud | Main | well hello, 2009 »

wrapping it up

Yes I am. I'm done- done as I'm going to be. No holiday cards this year, oh well. Perhaps valentines will be better anyway. My girlfriend gifts will have to wait for a bit too. I've made as much as I'm going to make, bought as much as I can buy.

It's time to breathe deeply and soak it all in. I'm ready for a bit of travel, some time at home, good food and family. The shop is closed up. The blog will be quiet. I'll still be posting my NP photos, but other than that, I'll see you in the new year!

Much love and peace to you all this holiday season!

And we always have the best intentions. :) I love the wrapping job you did, and look: it's the 19th! You can do some relaxing and recovering before the big day.

Happy holidays. xo

I didn't finish any cards either! Now I have a pile of unused Nutcracker stamps...

Your wrappings look beautiful. Enjoy your Christmas and New Year, Alicia!

Merry Christmas Mayfly family. I love this post and the sentiment of wrapping it up. I wish you that feeling of peace throughout the rest of the season. (And am desperately in search of it myself.)
