…as I wasn’t inspired at all, but nevertheless yesterday I shocked myself by making this year’s first Christmas card!!! 
I guess it helped that I had a new stamp I hadn’t used before… It’s actually a very old Magnolia stamp though.
This stamp; “Homespun Tilda” from the 2007 X-mas Collection had been on my wish list for years, so when I visited the Magnolia Store back in October I ordered it as well as “Tilda with Lantern” from the same collection. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the stamps in time for last year’s Christmas, but they’ll definitely both be used this year.
