I love getting Christmas cards and was thinking I would make a sign like the one on the left to hold the cards I receive this year. Although Each year the number of cards we receive reduces. I think only one of my siblings sends a card to us each year(hint hint to all you others). Is it really that hard to put something in the mail? I know the season gets super busy. Last year was the first and only year that we didn&#8217;t send any cards. It was silly really we just didn&#8217;t think ahead in time to get one together. I used to make handmade cards and my husband would write a family letter. That was really time consuming. Now we take a family photo upload them to our big box store and print out a bunch of cards. They even come with envelopes. It usually only cost around $11 dollars to print 30 cards. It really isn&#8217;t too hard. So no excuses this year. If you want a card from us this year send me a message with your address but know that if I send you one I expect one in return. It doesn&#8217;t have to be fancy it can be a note that just says Hi. The virtual cards or emailed cards don&#8217;t count. I can&#8217;t hang that on the wall and look at it everyday. Let&#8217;s see if I can fill my sign this year. I&#8217;ll post in December the finished product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know it&#8217;s early to be thinking about Christmas but this is the time I always start thinking about cards.
