The busy holiday season is upon us again! I’ve had so much fun this month preparing Halloween, Thanksgiving, and general fall-themed cards.
While watching card tutorials from Gina K on YouTube, I discovered foiling products I’d never used. That changed quickly! I love foiling and these new materials make it so easy—easy to use up a lot more foil, but they make beautiful cards with plenty of shine.
Gina's products enable me to use both the original foiled design as well as the leftover foil. Another product came out recently that makes it easy to foil without heat and the results were very satisfying.

But that’s not all the preparations I have going. There
are already many, many Christmas cards to donate to the food bank
clients, and I’m eager to put more new supplies and designs into use.

Amidst all this card making fun, I'm also busy plotting for NaNoWriMo.
This year’s sweet romance story involves heroine and hero
working to keep residents at a senior living facility jolly and safe
throughout December. Their two goals don’t go hand-in-hand, so my
characters will need a little compromise to find their happily ever
after.
What I haven’t planned is the title for my NaNoWriMo
story. While the days are growing shorter, I'm hoping for a flash of inspiration for a title idea or two.
