Those if you who have seen this already, oh, yes, that is right, no one has seen this because I haven't finished it yet, not have I sent any of them out. The perfectionist, Type A personslity in me, has not only wanted to get the cards out, but I have insisted on getting them just right...so I had to not only have a picture card to show off my awesome kids, but I have to "brighten" the cards up with me....crafting away. My husband and kids were all game when I asked them to put fingerptints on 120 cards....so I could make each fingerprint into a reindeer.
Something I realized, years ago, is that most people look at your cards, say "awww" for about 2 seconds, maybe hang them up for the holidays and throw them out afterward. Most people are not like me, who save every handmade card....and every picture card, year after year, with the intention of putting them all in a book to look at. Right now, they sit in plastic ziplock bags, awaiting an album.
So WHY???????got through all of the work to make the cards look "creative"" and not just send out the picture card....because I like them the other way....and it screams "JENN"....all the way. But I make mysef crazy. So everyone, getting your first look at my Christmas cards, they will eventually make it to your mailbox....and maybe this year, think about not throwing it away after the holliday season is over....maybe???? I can only hope! :)
