Let me remind you why you send Christmas cards or even, a card for any reason.  It's like sending a paper hug to the recipient and lets them know that you care.  Everytime that I get a card in the mail, I feel so very special and this week, I've been blessed with lots of paper hugs from friends and family alike.  I'm reminded again of why I do what I do. 

How about a Christmas Parade of cards that I've received this week.  Love each and everyone of them and each and everyone of the senders!

I got this card from MeLynn O.  Love the retro feel of it.  The Mosaic Madness and chalkboard technique make this a really hip and cute card.  Love it!

This is a card from Patti B.  She's a long time demo in my group from Indiana.  My group and I, miss her!  I love everything about this card too.  Colors are great – white, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist.  Layout is great.  Need to copy that too.  Lovely card from a lovely lady!

Ha!  Isn't this adorable?  This one is from Jodi B, a long-time customer and now a NEW demonstrator!  Whoo Hoo.  This is SO STINKIN' Cute!  My photography doesn't do it justice!

So that's the start of the parade.  I made it home safely today in the midst of our winter storm.  Comute was dreadful with even a handful of other unlucky saps out in the weather, but grateful for 4W drive and a warm home to come back too.  I'm obsessing over a Culver's burger but here's a testament to the weather.  I'm going to find something ELSE in the freezer.  That's how much I do NOT want to be out tonight!  And you know how I love junk food!  Be safe yourself.
