Sassy Studio and Desert Islands Crafts

I am so crazy busy, I feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off!  But it's all good, it's a good kind of busy, I guess.  LOL  I am glad I'm working, and I like my job just as much as I did when I worked there before.  I love my co-workers, and I think it's a huge bonus when you get along with your co-workers.  I mean, you have to spend the entire day with these people - it sure makes it more pleasant when you get along and enjoy their company!  But I definitely need more hours in the day, especially at this time of year.  I have had to really get a back-bone and learn to say "no" to certain things/people, because I just don't have enough time and/or money to do everything that everyone would like me to do.  And I'm actually really proud of myself for being able to say "no".  I normally can't - I just say yes, yes, yes - and then I end up so stressed out that I either make myself sick or end up with a migraine.  I'm not doing it this year - I'm just going to say NO when I can't (or don't WANT TO) do something, and I'm not going to feel guilty about it.  Ha - well, I can at least say no.  I'll work on the feeling guilty next!  LOL  But the fact is that I have my own stuff that I want to do - and that my kids want/expect me to do.  And they are my priority, I want them to have a good holiday and to be happy.  I am so glad that I have next Friday off - I am going to be one of those lunatic last-minute shoppers AND I'll probably be up baking/cooking most of the night.  We celebrate on Christmas Eve, which is Saturday - so I really don't have much time after Friday to prepare!  Good Lord, this holiday really snuck up on me this year!  LOL

So real quick today - I have a card for my guest designer spot over at

Sassy Studio - Dare to Be Sassy Thursdays

The theme this week is to create something based on a Christmas movie or TV show.  I based my card on the movie "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."   I am also entering the above card into the:

Have a fabulous day, friends.  And if YOU are feeling stressed out - just say no!  :)  LOL  Good luck with that.  Peace.
