Merry Christmas!!! to my readers.
May your day be jolly and bright even if it is raining,
may your heart be warm even if you are celebrating alone,as we are
I am taking a break from kitchen duty. Just to chat, about what else? Christmas cards. I send out a few not alot. One , reason is because I like to make them,another is that the work I put into cards is an expression of my friendship, and not a social formality.
I had my cards all stamped and ready to mail, neatly stacked on the kitchen table{ the kitchen is the beating heart of a home after all}, when the coffee got spilled. I was struck dumb...well briefly anyway.
Then it got really loud! Then I felt really angry, then sad. Then I remembered that years ago I had printed out this beautiful trifold card. I found the original card in an old binder that was some sort of salesman's sample card display ,whatever it is called, most of the cards had been removed , I like to think that someone remade them, or perhaps they were remade by school children, a common use for them back in those days. Then there was this one, the message it sends is dear to me, I scanned it into my computer and "Photoshopped" the worn and soiled spots. Printing it out and sent it out that year.
The leftover cards that I printed that year have been in he bottom drawer of my desk for at least two decades, still it holds true.
Merry Christmas, happy and healthy New Year
