I know that it's not even the end of August and we're still hanging on to summer, but I'm wondering if anyone has started making this year's Christmas cards... I started mine last year at the end of July but his year I'm having trouble finding time to even think about what my cards are going to look like this year!

I made a lot in the first few months of the year - I recycled old cards into new for Caring Hearts Drive donations and I've half-made most of my cards for the Pea swap.
I should be working on more now, fancier ones, but I haven't had the mojo for Xmas so far this summer. Or maybe I'm just too busy with other things. I need to get started soon!

I haven't started yet, but I have begun thinking about them. I'm trying to settle on a stamp set I want to use, so I'm just browsing the web looking for ideas right now. I plan to start them next month.

I’ve finished my personal and swap cads for this year. Now I can concentrate on scrapbooking!

Does shopping for stamps, dies and other Christmas supplies count? If so, consider me "started".

I have been making Christmas cards for a few months. The Christmas Hallmark movies motivate me when I have one on while I craft.

Wow! You guys are way ahead of me! I think that when the NFL season kicks off and DH starts watching football on Sundays, I'll have more time to start working on them!

I have a design in mind but actually need to get working on mine. Work has been so busy it's been hard to get the time!

I have a few elements done and need to continue working on them. Though I have started getting postage stamps a little at a time to soften the blow to the budget.

I’ve designed them in my head but I won’t be starting until November. I only have about 15-20 to do and it gets me into the Christmas sprit.

I started this month. I’ve made 42 so far. I’m not sure if I’m signing up for the pea exchange or not.

I had great intentions of signing up for the swap but am not sure now. Also want to make felt ornaments for my core group of people who get cards and am fast running out of time for that!

It’s miserably hot where I live. I’m probably a few months away from starting Christmas cards. I’m a seasonal crafter, so I’m just starting to think about fall.

I have been making Christmas cards for a few months. The Christmas Hallmark movies motivate me when I have one on while I craft. I have five or six Christmas movies recorded from July for the same reason. I just haven’t had time to sit in my room this year. I’m much further behind this year than I was last year  I did make 12 or 14 cards last week, but I need to make a bunch more each week! |

Almost mid-September and I've finally got my cards started. Worked on the "prototype" last night and am really pleased with this one! Usually I have to trash the first one, but this time it's looking good! I get to spend time in my craft room again tonight so hopefully I'll be able to start the assembly line process and get the 60+ cards underway!
