My Christmas card this year
10 years ago
Because I rehab possums, I used to always send out Christmas cards with possums on them. Don't laugh...you can find them on the internet, plus there is a lady in Washington state who designed all of the ones I sent out. But this year instead of sending cards, I donated to a friend who rescues horses out of kill pens...due to be shipped to slaughter in Mexico. But, I found this one, and I think it is kind of cute. Possums don't really have crossed eyes, but those raised in captivity will often develop a condition called "fatty eye" that makes them look cross eyed.
Wishing you all the best Christmas "possumable" and a Happy New Year.

Should I use any of these pictures for my Christmas Cards?
Comments (17)Thank you all so much. Re the "packaged" picture frame. I got the idea from an office decorating contest we had at work. The contest was not so much the quality of the decorating, but which one looked the most "Christmasy". The winners had decorated every single item in their office, including stuff on the walls. They covered the art work with gift wrap and bow, and that was my inspiration. (mine is actually a picture of some lilies). luvs, re the opened package, LOL! The gift was from a friend who wanted to see me open it!...See MoreHow do you decorate with photo Christmas Cards?
Comments (16)I agree with you, Oak. I did..do..love the cards that contain a letter with some photos to see like you mentioned. But I have always loved cards, silly cards or pretty cards. And just knowing someone took the time to pick out the card and write a few lines always has meant a lot to me. The cards with the name imprinted on them, and the photo cards seem to say "we're too busy for this". In fact, both my DD and my DDIL do the photo cards because they ARE extremely busy. I do understand that being the case these days. I just don't have to like it. LOL. Like Bleigh said, sometimes its physically hard to sit and do a stack of cards properly. Or at least the way I want to do them, with a short personal note and not just a signature. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't even do my cards this year. I'd bought a box of them several weeks ago, and then with the decorating taking 3 wks and now Dad this week, the box just didn't even get opened. I sent a special one to my MIL in FL as we always do, and one to my very best friend in the world in OK. But looks like no one else is even getting a real card from me this year. I feel terrible about that. hugs, Karen I think a lot of folks have stopped sending them, maybe the economy? I've only gotten a few this year myself....See MoreMy painted Christmas card
Comments (16)Thanks to all of you again. I have never painted our Christmas card before but it was something I have wanted to do for a long time. I wasn't sure about sending it since it wasn't the traditional type of card but so far I have had really nice comments on it. One of my sisters framed hers - she's very sentimental and loves everything I do. Maybe if time permits I will actually paint each card next year - but with eight sisters and 2 brothers it will mean I will have to start early. Thanks again yall....See MoreChristmas Card Exchange Sign Up!
Comments (59)Wow! I guess I need to look at a calendar more often! I forgot Thanksgiving was so late this year. We usually have at least a week between. I didn't even think about it when I set this up. I do the list as I get the emails which is how you are put into groups. I don't pick and choose who goes where. When I get your email you get added. So the list is ready. How about we see if any more sign up today and I will get the list emailed out tonight? I will post a last call for sign up separately. After I send the list I will post that it has gone out so you know to look for it. Please let me know after that if you didn't get it. I am going to convert the list to a .pdf format so everyone should be able to open the attachment with no problem. If I leave it as a word doc it seems not everyone can open it sometimes.
