Mtn, I like the idea of a waterlogue card. I first heard about the app here and have since played around with it. I have a WL pic of my youngest DD holding my newest DGS. It looks darling in a little jeweled dragonfly frame. I stopped sending cards years ago as our businesses kept me so busy that I had little time and no energy to send cards. We sold two businesses so I only have one full time and one part time to deal with so this year I bought cards and I will soon start personalizing and addressing them so they are ready to go.. For some odd reason I am overly anxious for the holidays this year. I've already started the silver sorting and polishing and today started washing crystal that has not been in the front of the cabinet, therefore not used. I'm searching for recipes and I can't wait to put up our tree. I think some of this is due to the realization that there aren't as many Christmases left to me as there once was. Also the world we live in seems to be coming apart at the seams. Traditions seem to be the anchor that I need right now.

So glad you came out of lurkdom Fixintojunk. It's such a nice forum, I hope you'll join us regularly now with posts and pics. An idea for your Valentine's Day cards, send them to me!!! I am so jealous. $2.00 for a whole suitcase, what a fantastic buy. At a local antique store here, she is selling five vintage Valentine's Day cards postmarked 1917. They were made in France and are signed Charlie, to Olive. He must have been stationed in France during WWI. Besides being cardstock, they have been machine embroidered and have lace on them. They are so pretty. She wants $20 a piece for them and although I'd like all five of them, I set one aside and told her maybe I'd come in and get the rest over time if no one else got them. I was going to place them in a long skinny frame using a black matte around each of them, five in a row. Another idea you can do is to hang them from a Valentine's Day feather tree. You can see what the feather tree looks line at "primitivesbykathy.com" online. She's pricey, so you can just type "Valentine's Day feather trees" in your web browser line and see what web sites you can look at for price comparison. They are really cute, coming in pink or red. Off topic, they are coming out with feather trees for Easter in chick yellow, pink and light green. I think they are so pretty. You can punch a small hole in the corner of your postcards and string them with skinny red/white/pink ribbon and hang them on the feather tree, along with some red hearts you can find at Michael's on sale right now. They are glittered or make your own using cardstock. Cut your a heart shape, paint it red/pink/white and sprinkle them with "Diamond Dust" or just clear glitter or red glitter using spray adhesive first. Punch a little hole in them and again, hang with ribbon as the postcards. You could also just display them around your room using a long piece of wire which at one end is curled around and slip the card into the curled end to hold it. Check out "junkmarketstyle.com" for this idea. Whatever you do, please post pics of the cards. I'd love to see them. Sal

Honestly, I am not sure I would make a point of mentioning it. A simple "Happy Holidays from our Home to Yours!â (which connects to the drawing on the front of the card). Then on the inside left, your new address as of OO/OO/OOOO. I guess in my mind, the people who will care that you have moved will likely know that anyway. Otherwise, it seems a little odd to make a point of mentioning that you have a new home. If you were doing a housewarming party at the holidays, and this were an invitation to that, perhaps it would be another story. You have to show us the drawing when it is done. Is the artist going to do some kind of wreath or other holiday item on the card version of the drawing? Congrats on your new home.

Wonderful idea, thanks for sharing! I love your door too. I'd love to do something similar.
