gotta start sometime...

Okay you knew it would happen eventually...sooner or later the Christmas cards were going to start popping back up. I wanted to try to hold out as long as I could, but lets face it, I have to start sooner or later unless I want to resort to buying those yucky mass produced cards to send out this year. Seriously, I dont want to do that. I have sent out handmade cards for the last two years, why go back now? (Besides, I have to put all my stamps to good use otherwise I will just feel guilty for buying so many...lol)

So, question, for those of you who make your own cards, do you make them all the same or do you just make a variety and send out the best? The first year I made cards I made them all the same and they turned out cute. But then last year I just made whatever I felt like making. Some turned out better than others though. I am thinking that this year will be the same, just making what I feel like making. (And hoping for a good outcome...LOL)

Well, I tried to keep it pretty simple on this one, in case I end up mailing it...but then I put those darn buttons on and lets face it, those are not going to make it any easier to mail. (Unless I put it in a bubble mailer) So this may go to someone I end up hand delivering cards to. I have been eyeballing some nice new Christmas scrapbooking supplies and stamps over at Hope Stamps Eternal...I just have to order before I lose my nerve. I usually end up filling my shopping cart and then at the last second I change my mind because what if something better comes out next week? LOL
