And since I’m sitting here and is supposed to do a programming assignment (java, it’s hard), I will write another post to distract me! 
I’m making christmas cards this year. Cross stitched ones. I’ve only finished one yet, but I’m so busy for school and everything so we’ll see how it goes. Maybe I’ll make the embroideries into those embellishments you hang on the christmas tree or something instead, because I don’t think it looked as good as a card that I’ve seen in other pictures. It’s probably because the cards I’ve gotten don’t fit very well with the size of what I’ve stitched. Well, here’s a picture of the one I did so far though 
And I’m getting a bit nervous if I’m gonna finish that christmas gift I’m making or not. It really takes a lot of time, and I need to do a lot of schoolwork the next weeks. I guess I’ll do some in the weekends. I’ll have to
Here’s the picture. I have another kind of card too, with a square cutout. But it’s too small. It’s one more type available, with an oval. I think those will fit better, so I’ll probably go buy one of those too. I don’t know what color is best though. They’re only available in red, white and cream. I’m thinking red is the right color for christmas, but it’s so bright. And cream would maybe clash with the white aida cloth. White would maybe be too neutral too. So I’ll probably go for another red one..

That’s a cute card, very original! I’d love to be able to make christmas cards like that, but like you, I barely have the time. I did find a neat website though for holiday cards. I can upload a picture of my family, write a personalized message and chose from a lot of designs. It might not be hand made, but they are very good quality and personal!
Best,
