Default Merry Christmas! Show me your holiday card!



While I'd love to print & mail REAL cards to everyone here at the shoppe- I only really do it for our close friends & family! I love a real card at Christmas & I think it's going out of style, as we get less and less every year.

Here's ours this year- we only do family pics every couple years, so none of those to chose from- when I saw this sample on shutterfly- I laughed & thought it perfect for our crazy crew!

Merry Christmas from the Wheelers

That's a nice card, Amie!
We haven't had any Christmas card to send to anyone for many years now, since international postage is pricey and the mail is often lost and that, domestically, people don't do Christmas here. So I haven't made any cards for a long long time. SO sad, but that's reality here

I love that card! We looked at making it for our family but just... didn't. I chose to do the challenges here instead

Fun card, Amie!
We don't receive as many as we used to. And I don't send out the same amount myself. I think I'm around 50 these days. I buy the boxed sets of Christmas cards to sign and stick a 4x6 photo printed card in them that I make with scrap supplies.
It's one of my favorite Christmastime activities because I have a stack of the cards I've made over the years that I look through before I start signing cards and addressing envelopes. You can see a couple of the older ones in the picture below.
Here's the one for this year in the gallery:



And you can see the greeting card I used this year with the snowman:



Merry Christmas!

All of these cards are beautiful!

I used to do a card every year and mailed them out. I started getting less and less back. I started eliminating people from the list if I hadn't received a card back in 2 years. That sounds awful, but with printing and postage, it was expensive. And when I did that, I had a laughable number of people left, and they are the ones I see all the time anyway. So no more cards for me.

Beautiful cards. I don't do Christmas cards, never have. I am really bad about sending out any kind of card. Even when I have good intentions, I drop the ball somewhere along the way.
