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…  For 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.
