Eeeeek ... Christmas is coming!

Heck, didn't we just get over Christmas last year? LOL Someone mentioned to me the other day it was only 16 weeks to go. I didn't go check, but I'm assuming that's right. And me, the "Christmas Carol" personified, loving everything Christmas, I am so not prepared. I usually have my shopping fairly well under control by now (yes, I am my mother's daughter, she is already finished Christmas shopping, you can roll your eyes if you wish!!)

So with this talk of Christmas I walk through Target the other day and there it was, the first of the Christmas decos out!! Okay, so it was just their small stand of Hallmark dated decorations, but Christmas all the same. I've been collecting these dated decorations since about 1988, I figure when I'm old and grey I'll sell them all as a collection to fund my retirement, haha.

Now you think I'm an early Christmas organiser, well check this out ...

What fabulous textured paper and what a fun way to use Tracey Ann's photo mats. You can get them at her blog.

Off now to make the trek to Geelong to see mum and dad, helping them out with a few things today, I'll be exhausted by the time I get home tonight. I tend to listen to talking books in the car while driving to and from work or up and back to Geelong, so the trip today will go quickly as I'm really enjoying the book I'm listening to right now. Can't think of the name, will note that down and post later, but it's about a girl who fudged her way into a cook's job at the antarctica. It's really great stuff.
