My 2008 Christmas cards were finished a little later than last year's, but as most of them were hand delivered it worked out nicely. This year candy-pinks, pale green, and of course snowy white have really dominated things. The "cards" are glossy prints of the button and house photo with a handwritten message in red ink on the reverse. I sprinkled a few iridescent confetti stars inside velum envelopes before tying them up with a bit of baker's twine and addressing them with matching "Send To" labels. The stars are really my favorite part of this and Brett was remarkably patient as I ridiculously circled Michael's three times in the holiday rush looking for the perfect confetti, snow or glitter for this purpose. I'm so glad I settled on these - when the light hits them a certain way they're the same sea-foamy green as the "Noel" type. On a related note I'm sending out a "Correspondence List" postcard, so check your in-boxes everyone! I hope you all enjoy the season, perhaps I'll be back once or twice more before the new year. Can you believe it's almost 2009?
