Our attempt at handmade cards

I've wanted to do the handmade cards by the children for years now, never got down to it until last weekend, when the supposedly too many packs of M&S/WH Smith cards vanished.
Have we got more friends/family since last year to send cards to was our first thought, no, of course not, its the children who do. Cue getting out the paint, shapes etc and attempts to create something Christmassy Many opinions, views, ideas etc but finally got some done.
Unfortunately, the children's cards have now taken over the lounge, lots more cards to be written - by tomorrow or Friday. So, am I doing another round of paint, cutting, sticking etc - hopefully not and its back to M&S this afternoon. Its lovely to see the children so excited about their own cards, and making them, but given that each card takes a while, I'd like to do it when we have more time. Not in the middle of all the Christmas plays, choir performances etc etc.
Need to start our sweets nowww - the kulkul ingredients have been on the countertop for days now, should be home and free for more than 30 mins this evening......
