Christmas cards already!?!?!?!

So I can tell you that I am an overachiever.  You may not know it, but I am (in most ways).  It just so happened that one in March, I went to a quilt store about 30 minutes from my house which I do not frequent very often.  While there, I bought some cute fabrics and instantly had a fabulous idea.  As I'm sure you can guess, it had to do with Christmas cards. 


*Note: I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Beatrix Potter.  I just love Beatrix Potter. 

I saw that traditional Christmas fabric and immediately thought, 'Post Cards!'  And the idea was born.  I have since cut them up into individual squares and am planning on putting bead accents on each one.  Then I will sew the fabric onto some cardstock.  Never fear, I will be sending these in envelopes.  I'm not sure how many I'll get done this year but I've already finished two and they are awesome!  I don't have that many so don't be sad if you don't get one of these in the mail. 


As some of you know, I took a beading class last month.  Now I will hone my newly acquired skills.  Here is a close up of some of the beads...if you can see them.  I don't want to go crazy because the beads are just accents and I'm really just practicing and I want to get them done; not start a project I will never finish.
