I have a friend who had a Ch......s party in her garden last Summer. She sent out invitations on C cards and did a full C dinner and had games after. She is completely bonkers but it sounded great fun. 🎅🏻Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

I like to get them done and over with. All the cards that have to be posted are sent on December 1st, unless that is a Sunday.Originally posted by Gemini View PostGosh Nan2!

Never done this so early before but after a text from DD today I dashed to s.bries to get a present for 5 year old GD. There is 25% off cloths today and GD wanted a princess dress so £12.00 instead of £16.00 Also got some reduced toys for the December party for the toddler group I run.
Couldn't believe that a card shop was full of cards for that December date too!Comment

Got some good bargains there MillieB.
Weather kept clouding over,but it has remained dry,so just been out and cut the grass.Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.Comment

I might look in the Charity shops next time I go into town for C*******s cards. My family are religious & it gets harder each yr to find 'holy' cards. The later I leave it, the harder it gets.

I make greeting cards for my hobby. And you may laugh, but after Christmas I start on my next Christmas cards, they are all finished by March, and I don't have to rush as its gets closer to Christmas.
Bu no, I hate seeing them in the shops so early. What happened to the magic for young Chrildren?Comment

I have to write all our C cards & mum's too. She sends forty four! I tried printing address labels last year but couldn't fit the addresses into the sticky label space. Perhaps I should start writing the cards too Nan2 😱Originally posted by Nanto2girls View Post"Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."

Hello Marion. I've not seen you on here before, but then I do tend to miss things or forget. What a clever lady you are making your own cards. Makes it more special I think when a person makes something for you."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."
