Last year I shared my 2018 Christmas card with you. If you
didn’t see that post, you can read about it here.
Because this year I, yet again, designed my own Christmas card,
and people continue to be interested, I am sharing it as well. Last year’s
card was all about the late Mr. O-P, and his legendary fruitcake. This year’s card
is about family, tradition, nostalgia, and sentimentality, with a nod to my dad.
The envelope this year was extra special, I think. I decided to
take it a little bit over the top by collaging and rubberstamping the front. It
was very satisfying to do while I binge-watched murder mysteries (nothing
says Christmas to me like a good murder), and put to use some of the new
stamping toys that I bought myself this year, including Tim Holtz's stamping platform, that
is one of my new favorite things.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but in my younger days, I would look ahead to the
New Year with great anticipation. As I have gotten older, that anticipation has
turned into trepidation, as I wonder if we’re all going to make it another
year. That was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but you have to admit,
there’s a lot of truth to that.
Please enjoy my virtual Christmas card to all of you, along with my well wishes
for the holiday, and thanks for your readership, kind comments, and support.
