Ready for the next step

This weekend was a busy one. We had our family Thanksgiving dinner Saturday and we did our Christmas decorating Sunday. In between I got the trees stitched down on 30 cards. 
They could be done at this point but I felt that they needed more sparkle.
​

I found this great sparkle spray at Hobby Lobby and it adds just the right amount of sparkle. It does have a high level of VOCs that I'm really allergic to so I couldn't spray the fabric first. I wouldn't have been able to handle ironing the elements onto it because the iron heat would have released a lot of VOC fumes. Instead I decided to finish the front of the card and fuse on the back and then spray the whole thing....outside. They will stay out in the garage a few days for the fumes to subside before I edge them.

I need to make one more set of 20 cards but I have to stop Christmas for a day or so to make some December birthday cards. That's what I'll work on today, along with laundry.

We got all of the decorations up yesterday and I added my newest glass ornament to the tree. This is the one I bought at Biltmore before Helene ran us out of Asheville early. I hope it doesn't bring me any bad luck!
