Ideas for this year's card

22 years ago

I am trying to decide what to do for this year's Christmas card. We just moved into a new 'old' house so I thought I might combine the Christmas card into a kind of 'new address' card. Here is what I have done so far.

I am looking for an old Victorian feel but this is the only frame I could find in my program that worked even a little.

I tinted the photo of our house to make it look antiquiky.

That is all my brain could come up with .... any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Linda, when I clicked on your link it took me to a page with this message:

I would love to see your card! I am also working on my 3rd annual designed card. It's so much more fun than buying a box of cards at the store!

Oh dear,
Well, here we go again. It took forever to get up enough courage to try to post another picture again. Good Grief!
I think it has something to do with GeoCities. I need to try to find another place to store my pictures. Maybe it will straighten itself out later on.

Noah passed away yesterday. My condolences to the family. this is the latest update. Our Angel Posted 18 hours ago After a long battle with Stage IV Neruorblastoma cancer, Monday morning at 8:02 AM, Noah Biorkman passed away at his home in South Lyon, Michigan. Scott and I, along with our families, would like to thank everyone for the continued support over the past few years during NoahÂs illness. As most of you know, Noah has received more than one million Christmas cards over the past few weeks. The outpouring of love and compassion has been remarkable and we are extremely grateful. We are now asking for everyone please respect our privacy during this very difficult time. The funeral services will be for family only. We are asking that instead of sending cards and flowers to Scott and me; please make a donation in NoahÂs name to either of the organizations below. With your donation, NoahÂs legacy will live on for many years to come, if not forever. Thank you so much for your support and love. Sincerely, The Biorkman Family Please send donations to the following: Department of Pediatrics and Oncology University of Michigan 1500 East Medical Center Drive D4202MPB Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-5718 Checks payable to: The University of Michigan Â NoahÂs Pediatric Oncology Fund OR Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan 230 Huron View Blvd. Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 Checks payable to: Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan Â Memo: Noah Biorkman

Minnie, I'm not sure which lady it was, but there was someone on Carol's show that used an Outlines stamp as an ornament. I originally went looking for one of those and came back with a lot more than I originally planned to buy! I've included the website below, they have some great examples. I made sets of 5 cards for my good friend and my daughters' three roommates as Christmas gifts (they're all different colors, not just the red, white and green) and they all say they don't want to use them, they want to frame them! I know that that's a compliment, but I told them to at least mail them to each other first! Here is a link that might be useful: Outlines Stamps

They probably fell in and couldn't get out. They can swim but it isn't something they would normally do. Maybe went to get a drink and fell in or chased in by a dog. Not sure, except I know they wouldn't get in a pool on purpose.

You are welcome. It really isn't hard to do. I just copy and paste the names and addresses into a word document, then divide into groups as they came in. Then email the list at the end of sign up. It would be very easy for someone else to pick up and do.

Hmmm... I just accessed the Geocities rules for displaying my pages:

your page may have been suspended for violation of our Terms of Service, if any of the following statements are true:

Pulling files from your GeoCities account to a location outside of Yahoo! GeoCities, such as auction sites, message boards, and other web sites.
Using GeoCities for the sole purpose of storing files.
Nudity/pornography.
Registering for multiple accounts.
Using GeoCities for commercial purposes.
Using GeoCities for hate/defamatory purposes.
Using your GeoCities home page to redirect visitors to other sites.
Improperly promoting your website via email, message boards, or instant message (i.e., spam).

We have been traveling and not able to access the internet much for three years. I used to used GeoCities to post pictures here but I guess the rules have changed. Boy they don't let you do anything! What do you expect for free!?! LOL I am heading out to find a site to store my pics.

Very nice- another frame inside with your new address, phone etc would work, and yet a third with Merry Christmas or some such- and enouugh space for a personal hand written note--- that should fill up November nicely!
