This year, for the first time ever, I’ve made my own Christmas cards (see previous market post about big value card-making buy). Here’s a few of them.

Now I’ve made a rod for my own back; not making the cards, which was fun and all new to me, but choosing. The more I made, the better I got at it, so I have awful decisions to make about who gets the ones I think are less good. Silly me, I’m sure people will be pleased to get a hand made card, even if it’s not perfect.

It's the thought that counts. No one will mind how well made a card is :)

The people you send them to won't have all the others there to compare, so they'll have no idea whether theirs is your best or worst effort. And won't care.

They look great!

I find that home-made items are better received as they are something with effort, heart and soul in them, something that you can't really buy.

I am SO impressed!! Really, what a wonderful, wonderful thing to do. There are people who don't even send any store-bought cards anymore, and here you are making your own. A wonder woman!
