Christmas Card 2010…

A dear roommate from college is traveling the world with her husband and three girls.  When I emailed her for a current address, she asked if there was a virtual version.  Well, sweet Cindy, here you go…  003 004 005 006 007For those intrigued by the design—I got the idea from tiny prints.com.  I then sat down with some cardstock and an Exacto knife to figure out the dimensions.  I created it in Photoshop and had Costco print it. —A huge thanks to my sister, Sharon, who glued, scored and folded with me late into the night.   James Mair called it the sweat shop.  Off to the right was an update on the year: 

Greetings! Let’s catch up, shall we?  James hit the big four—O, rode a Segway, and adopted chickens. He’s busy.  Benjamin is inventive and driven by recess and Wii minutes. He’s a fan of the chickens and the new baby brother. Stuart is an independent whisper talker who loves cars & trains. He’s easy going and still getting used to the baby.  I retired from preschool, painted, ate for two and became a ksl classifieds junkie.  Adelaide was baptized, and played in her first piano recital. She’s Isaac’s mom too.  Paige is a tenacious preschooler who found her voice and loves twirly dresses. She grew the most this year.  Isaac is a perfect number six. All year we talked about how, by Christmas, we’d have a Baby Jesus for our nativity. We’re thankful for a Savior whom we worship and for you, dear family and friends, who we remember at this time of year. We are so blessed, feeling the influences of both.

Alas Christmas Cards, I love them.  I’ve made them, I’ve bought them,  I love getting them and I love sending them. Until, next year.

Hey Ang, My sister said the same thing and her husband, who is a scientist, doesn't think it's sustainable. Very scientific if you ask me. Your letter cracked me up--non-profit organization. Literally speaking right?

Thanks for showing us how you did this. I was duly impressed. IT WAS AWESOME! Unlike your naysayer brother-in-law, I have complete faith you'll wow us again.

You never cease to amaze, Nora! I wish I could afford to have you write all my posts. Have I ever told you how much you remind me of Sis. Hinckley? Not that I've ever met her, but her books and stories and personality just remind me of you. So thanks for being my own personal Marjorie P. Hinckley. Your family is so cute, kitchen looks fantastic-and love that you have/had/will soon have again chickens. We are not zoned here for either and I'm sad. Congrats on that darling little baby boy!!!
