LIMITED TIME to make Christmas Cards (my STRATEGY)

Life gets crazy, fitting DIY Christmas cards in can sometimes be a challenge. The past few years have been hard for me in getting my usual stack of 100+ DIY Christmas cards out, and I've ended up only making a few to give to direct family members, leaving me disappointed that I just couldn't fit this into my busy life.

This year I have a new job, and once again am struggling to find the time to fit this fun and let's be honest costly tradition that I love in again. So, I was again going to pass on making Christmas Cards...until my friend Lisa said she was going to start cutting people from her list.

But, seeing her say that on a poll right on this channel, really bothered me, even though I know it's fine. It got me thinking, if Lisa was ready to cut others out, it made me think about how others do this too. And all of a sudden this great tradition of walking to the mailbox, seeing happy mail, knowing someone you love is thinking of you this holiday season, is dwindling, and getting lost!

I talked about this very thing in a recent video (linked below), and why it affected me SO much, but it did reminded me that I don't send cards to get cards. I've been missing out on the joy of knowing that I'm connecting with those that I love over the holidays. And that is just a non-negotiable for me.

So I challenged the community to join me in making a stack (even if it's a short stack) to actually get filled out and mailed this year. Here's how my cram packed week went...

Ask any questions and tell me in the comments how YOU did!!
