  all the shelves already full with Christmas stuff  ouch!
that is just around the corner and has ever i will not be ready lol
no matter how i try im never ready for Christmas…

im still very busy behind the scenes with samples  my new printer arrived yesterday with a few goodies
from the Crafters Companion Birthday Week 
had to set everything up and get it ready for even more samples …so all is good again on that score
isn’t it typical when something breaks down you always need it lol….

it’s something i have never done before  a challenge  but in a good way lol
