Treasured (?) memories of our 'production line' preparing our cards yearly ... 'moi' signing & placing the cards in the envelopes, kids putting the flaps inside the envelopes, hubby licking the yucky glue on the envelopes & stamps. We look back & chuckle, but it was family togetherness, tho the kid-lings didn't think so then ...
This is about how we both looked doing this project ... how did you prepare your cards with your family?
Cards in the mail yesterday ... house totally decorated ... gifts wrapped.
Now to just enjoy this beautiful season.

Oh, my! You have it all done! I will be starting tomorrow. Tree, lights, ornaments, and lots of Christmas music. I love it all! I'll be doing my cards next weekend. I've saved almost every Christmas card we've ever received! That's 43 years of cards!! I love to get them out and look at them but should really get a trunk or screen and decoupage them to it as a permanent display of some of the favorite ones. Maybe next year. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon...

Hope you have a fabulous week, my friend.

Good for you Marydon! I'm taking the year off this year (except for Grandparents, aunts and uncles. I have too much going on. You have it all together and it sounds like fun with the helpers helping and so festive. Kathi
ReplyDeleteYou're way ahead of me, Marydon! I enjoy the season by putting everything off to the last minute. :D HA!
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration Marydon! I wont be entirely thru til Christmas eve lol... Many Blessings. Lady Jane
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sweet Sis...
ReplyDeleteCould you slow it down just a tad? I mean I haven't even gotten my cards back from the printer as of yet. I am always a little slow.
Still don't have the tree up, maybe this weekend. We'll see.
Love your share today. I just got mine posted. Sorry, I know I am a little slow today. It was only 33 degrees this morning, and our high is expected 56. Here in the desert this is just toooo much for me. Could someone please turn the heat back on.
Love you sweet Sis. Hope you have a gorgeous Monday. Many hugs and so much love, Your Lil Sis, Sherry
This cartoon makes me think of my dear husband who printed all of the address labels for my cards and helped me addressing all of them yesterday so that he could mail them in today's mail for me. I've been so sick - over 2 weeks - that I've needed all the help I can get with decorating and Jim and Sarah have been a huge help to me.
ReplyDeleteDue to that, I can say that I have everything decorated, and cards done as well. Now just to wrap the gifts, which include not only Christmas, but my husband and daughter's December Birthdays as well...
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi, Marydon,
ReplyDeleteNow that is true love to lick those yucky tasting envelopes!!! I so admire you for having all of your holiday items done, and now you truly can just sit back and enjoy family and friends and the true meaning of the season. Have a blessed week, sweet friend~love always~Vicki
That was cute. I guess I need to get on the ball and start doing some planning for Christmas before it's here. Can't believe yours are all done.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get done so quick? Nothing like being ready huh. My house and tree are done. I have started my shopping. Have a good day Marydon!
ReplyDeleteDear Marydon
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you have a good start on the Christmas season.. I love the cartoon.
Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Penny
OM word! Is it time to do Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI, too, remember the 'stamp licking' but I don't miss it.
You must either be some magic wonder or totally organized! Have started nothing yet.
ReplyDeleteI will get it together soon, I hope.
Oh, Marydon you are good! I am not nearly that ready..yet. I will persevere. LOL It will get done eventually! Hugs to you.

Thanks for your visit...I still have this to do.. but I love sending them out! ;D
ReplyDeleteI love those cartoon. Today I was taking all my fall things down to get ready to put my Christmas things up. Will be doing cards after the tree is up. I love having the tree up, music playing and writing cards to go out.
