Christmas Time!

First Christmas card of the season! from my mama

This is my first Christmas tree as an adult!! It's a fake tree that the previous tenant of our house left in the garage, along with a string of white Christmas lights.

I put the white Christmas lights up on our front window, but I'll wait to show you a photo of that because we want to put up our last string of lights, those big old fashioned ones, around the front door.




















Some Christmas-y mail I've sent:

Altered Playing Cards

 I haven't participated in Swap-bot for quite awhile now.  This was for a swap from January. 

 

I really like how they turned out.  I was participating in a multi-swap series going through a whole deck of cards, but I kind of lost interest... The different sets of cards didn't all match of course because different people were making them. Also I was making mine with the thought that you could actually play a game with them, but I received ones where you definitely couldn't, too fragile, or too bumpily embellished. :-) All very cool but just not what I had been excited about.  Anyway, maybe in the future I'll make a whole deck for myself. Who knows?

I love that pinecone.
