Yes, I'm organised.
I've been making and writing in my family's Christmas cards since I left high school, and this is the batch for 2010.
The original test card I did to check out the design:
It's a bit hard to see, but two of the baubles have been raised with double-sided foam tape.
I got the images printed at a Kodak kiosk, which played a bit of havoc with my colours and sizing (some of the design was cut off, and I had a much smaller white borders around the image).
I created the image in Photoshop, using baubles that I had previously created in Illustrator.
I kept tabs on my progress as I went.
In the end, this is what they looked like:
All in all, I made 90, over two days. And yesterday I wrote in 68 of them. I am now exhausted! =P
Taking into account those that I know are still to be written in, I have 15 spare for last-minute emergencies. Any left over I shall sell next year.
Gosh that really is organized! Such patience! I don't think I'll manage any Christmas cards this year :/
