The last Christmas card that I posted here a few days ago was from 1994. I’m going to skip ahead a few years because Christmas day is drawing near and there are several more cards I would like to share.
This first one is from 1997. I called it “Snow Angel” for obvious reasons. The berries on her wreath are jingle bells and she has buttons sewn down her front. This little bear stood about 6 inches tall, if I recall correctly. It made me think of when I was kid and we made snow angels in real snow. Did you, or have you ever, done that? It is a chilly experience if you make too many!
This second card is from the next year: 1998. I don’t know how I managed to create this scene. For some time, I have thought I have gotten crazier with my projects as I get older, but thinking back to this one, maybe I was crazier back then! This window is a creation of an alternate reality. In other words, it ain’t real. Well, the window is real but it isn’t in a house. I took this photo in my back yard, in the daytime. Doesn’t it look like it is nighttime? I don’t know how I did that to be honest. This was titled “Friends”.
I have some cards that I will include the text as well. Those are coming up soon, I think. In the meantime, this year’s cards were mailed at the first of the month. I just got an email from someone who received theirs and it made me laugh out loud. Here is what it said:
“Every year I look forward to getting a card from you. I hope I'll get one every year until I croak.”
And you know what? He shall!

ReplyDeleteHi Ginger! The cards are so sweet as usual, the one from 1997 reminds me of the year I met my now husband... that was our first christmas together as "boyfriend and girlfriend." That christmas he had bought me a teddy bear and that was the first one from him....I still have it too, along with all the others he has bought me since. I love the email reply, now that is too funny!!!! Have a great day friend! Hugs, Jennifer
