Baking 4 Six

On the 9th day of Christmas (finally) starting the Christmas puzzles.

Do you enjoy jigsaw puzzles?

Any guesses how many we will assemble this year? We have 7; 6 are 1000 pieces & one is 500.

🎄 The table is filled w/handmade ornaments from our children.

🧩 This is the 30th December for some of the puzzles. They were purchased at Longs.

🧩 I worked for Longs Drug Stores and employees paid cost plus 10%.

🧩 Longs used the code Charleston. C = 1, H=2 etc. so cat = $1.38.

🧩 The letters for “cost” were on the price tags ~ remember those?

On the 4th day of Christmas sharing

📬 Do you like sending or receiving cards?

If you want to see more more handmade cards, I made a 10 sec real in the previous post.

Swipe to see the card & envelope I made then sealed, then opened so I could take a photo 📷

📷 stash of cards w/cute matching envelopes, postcards, money cards & address labels like the one pictured above.
📷 cards organized neatly waiting to be filled out & sent.

📕 In the movie the main character sends 5 Christmas Cards to 5 people who have impacter her life. The cards were initially purchased for her bf, but he broke up with her before Christmas… surprise 😆
I decided handwrite 25 cards during the month of December.
And, de-clutter my stash of Christmas Cards (I’m pretty sure there’s more stashed somewhere, but I found more than enough for this year. ❣️For many years I was a Stampin’Up! Demonstrator
❣️You might guess, I enjoy making & receiving handmade cards… and teacher others how to make them.
❣️I am TERRIBLE at sending/giving cards… I make them or buy them, sometimes I even fill them out, write a letter & address & stamp and then I do NOT mail them 🤷🏻‍♀️
