Deena is wonderful and indispensable.
And I just got a SailAweigh card - very clever and neat! ANd the name and address was entirely correct :-)
Also got a lovely card from the lovely heather and Mr. Heather complete with proof of their loveliness. A picture, that is.
It's been a good haul of holiay cards at the -t household this year, I may need to actually put them on display in some more coherent fashion than propping them up on the bookshelves.
Whee! I just got lovely cards from both SailAweigh and Sparky1!
I have a number of lovely Buffista cards which makes my holiday brighter, and fills me with guilt because I haven't sent any.
Sail - THANK YOU.... I feel bad cause I did not send out my typical cards.
Sail, thank you for the card! I didn't have your snail mail before...so one of ours is heading your way tomorrow.

Okay, I'm basked. I'm glad you're all enjoying the cards. I haven't done a project like this in years and it was wonderful to stretch my creative muscles again. Also, a lot of work, but worth it. I'll accept any recriprocal offerings, but don't anyone feel like they HAVE to. 'Cause, Gaia knows, I'm not sure I'm going to do it again! A blanket "Season's Greetings" in thread may be all I'm up to next year. I'll wave a pinky at everyone and sip cosmos in the bathtub while reading Deb's next book.
Sail, I saw cards at the store today that were similar in style to the ones you did. They were 99 cents each. It made me feel somehow superior to know I received one from someone who loves me. Also made me think (for JUST a teeny moment) of buying one of those and sending it back to show you I could do it too. I figured you'd know I cheated, though.
Bwah! Deena. I doubt I would have known. I think of you as a very crafty type and would have just thought, "Oh, cool, Deena does the same kind of stuff, we should trade crafting tips." Now, if I'd asked you how you achieved the 3-D effect with tinsel, you might have had a hard time explaining it.
Well, you might not have known until you turned it over and saw that it was originally 3.99 for a "HANDMADE CARD". Damn them.
I do like that kind of stuff, though, and have been thinking of doing something like that under glass to hang on the wall, something three-dimensional. If that makes any sense. (I took an extra muscle relaxer today. I feel as funny as if I were stoned. Tomorrow I will be sorry I recorded all this funny for posterity.)
msbelle! Got your goodies just fine.
Thank you!!! And have seriously happy holidays!!!
