I know many people are allergic to any mention of C*******s before mid-November by the very earliest, but if you make your own cards and presents you will know that not starting before November means not starting at all.
My first job is always making cards. I make around 100 each year, most of them the same. I also address the envelopes but leave the card writing until November. I've gone back to writing envelopes by hand as I found seeing endless address labels as I opened cards last year made everything feel a bit impersonal.
So here's a batch of this year's effort.
Your cards look really good -
ReplyDeleteThank you. There is detail which isn't clear but some of my readers will get one so I didn't want to show too much.
DeleteAnd that is a word of hope we need right now, not just at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnd how! I designed my card because I wanted to use that word.
DeleteYou are well ahead! Very attractive cards.
ReplyDeleteI like to get these sort of things done in good time so that, when the time comes, I can really give my mind to the reason for the season.
DeleteHandmade cards are such a beautiful gift of thought. The sentiment on your batch this year is greatly needed.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done and I too have started my Christmas makes. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI have the Christmas paper and some new stamps but have not started the cards yet. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou can never be too early!! It takes me such a long time to write my cards I start at the end of October.. yours are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Cards! Rather wise to get it done early rather than a mad dash as the end!
