A mass of Christmas cards

Good Morning All
Well, what a day yesterday was, no power for 12 hours from 8.30am.
Everything you think of doing requires electric.
The annoying thing was that it could have been sorted if the Admin company that looks after our building had got their act together instead of faffing about, it would have been sorted by midday.

One bonus, I have written out most of my Christmas cards  ready to take to UK in December for posting and giving out to family and friends.
*****
Afew years ago I bought 100   4x4 card blanks for Christening invites which were not needed.
So I thought I would use them to make very quick cards to pack together in a handmade paper handbag to sell at the craft fayre.




And, believe it or not, I made a total of 27 in one afternoon and they all had inserts too.!!!!!!
I used lots of bits from my Christmas box.

And here is a handbag too.

I made 6 more of these while watching X factor on Saturday evening!!!
I have a total of 40 so I am putting 10 in each bag.
