I’ve been debating whether or not to make my own Christmas cards this year or to cop out like last year and just buy them. I have a excuse this year since I am having a baby…at least a lame excuse. Buying printed cards with a family picture on them are just as good, right? They are at least cheaper and don’t cost extra to mail. I am constantly making cards, dreaming about cards, thinking of ideas for cards… There are so many stinking cute Christmas stamps and diecuts that I just wouldn’t feel right if I cop out two years in a row! I’ve sold all the other cards I’ve made up until this point but no more! Suck it up baby and get to it! Like it’s a chore to do something you love.I think I just overwhelm myself by thinking of everyone and their dog I “should” send a card to. (BTW, I sent out a total of two Halloween cards. Sad.)
I am entering this card into a few challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge- based on a song title or lyrics
Sleigh Ride-
“Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, ‘Yoo-hoo!’
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you…”
I love Christmas!!

Great card Lisa — and, having a baby is a great excuse (if you really needed one) — but I can tell you are going to be crafting till midnight to get those special cards made for your special friends.
