The Greeting Cards have all been sent.

Yes, they are gone... LOVE to get them too! We sent out over 100 Christmas Cards and have received about 20 so far. Well at least the post office should be plump and happy with all we spent in postage. WARNING do not buy the big Christmas cards at the 50 to 70% off sale and think that is good and you are going to send a big card for the same price as a small card! Walked one into the post office weighed it (I already had the .42 cent stamp on the envelope) and it was going to cost .59 to send it since it was so big. We had to stand there and work the postal slot machines to buy more stamps and they only had .27 stamps so the .42 card cost .69 to mail... Hope that postmaster general gets his bonus thanks to us. The nuts have been made (candied pecans), the packages have been sent! Those are all good things checked off the list... But someone needs to figure out the shopping... I don't want to go - I don't want to do it... I don't want to wrap em, tape em or label them.... I am feeling like this time of year you really do figure out how much you don't know about people- your family. You think you know someone till you ask your self what would they like for Christmas... what are their interest - hobbies, what size are they, what do they like to eat. Who ever thought of the gift card was a total genius.   Time to get busy.  Leaving you with a few other pics... The blue Santa arrived yesterday from our good friends the Skillman's and the Santa is from RUSSIA... Love it. Kind of like a gift card you can't go wrong with a Santa. Picture of the wordy tree.  Reminds me of a scrap book page.  Lots of BELIEVE, JOY, FAITH and PEACE

glittery words all over it.  AND the candied pecans waiting for the Hyland Island Sleigh to appear and make deliveries.  Next week... MERRY HAPPY CHRISTMAS by this time next week it  will all just be lots of Festive Paper heading for the recycle bin... and memories - don't forget to take lots of pictures and try a different angle...!
