Christmas cards

November 27th 2011 22:51
Every year I make a point of sending physical Christmas cards to close family and friends. I know it's cheaper and faster using an electronic card, and I get sent a few each year, I feel nothing beats the feeling of actually receiving one in the mail among all the end of year bills that come.

So I was looking around for something less common (because I can't make cards, but there are already really nice ones out there that isn't made by Hallmark hence supporting local businesses as well). Then I found out a friend of mine does handmade cross stitch cards! I really like her stuff and I thought I'd give her a free plug on this:: A Stitch In Time.



I know this will only apply for those who do celebrate Christmas: Will you be sending Christmas cards this year?

I always send Christmas cards out by snail mail too, for the same reason as you Amy, they're so much more personal than e-cards IMO. I usually just buy an el cheapo pack of cards from Kmart but this year I'll be making my own cards with a photo of my baby daughter on the front.

Your friend's cross stitch design is lovely, btw - nice to see that those old school crafts are not completely lost in this age of technology, and better still, that she can use technology to promote them.

Hello Journeywoman
Yes - even el cheapo cards these days feel extra special!
Oh a card with your baby daughter on the front would be so lovely. I am sure your family and friends will enjoy getting it.
I hope you have a great Christmas!
