It's July and many of my Christmas crafts are already completed! In a good year, I'm pleased if I'm finished in November. Being at home FULL TIME since mid-March, I've needed to keep busy - after monitoring the children's distance learning of course. I have definitely been mastering the many uses of the Cricut. Always accused of being a hoarder . . . all those after-Christmas craft supplies I stocked up on have come in handy. Thank goodness for Joann's & Michael's for delivery service too! Just don't know what I will do with all that I've made!
