Happy Holidays – 2010 card

Every holiday season I am a nut in trying to figure out what I’ll make for our greeting card. My ’09 card was from a picture I took in Yosemite. The image on the card is tightly cropped and doesn’t do the original justice. The original is one of the best photos I took while there; pure luck of being in the right place at the right time when a glorious rainbow graced the incredible landscape. You can see it here. My favorite card is the holiday snow globe I did a few years back. I put a crazy amount of time into making that globe! You can see that one here. This year, initially I kept it simple until Rich said, “Dress it up more. Add a tree, and some lights, and some Christmas balls.” While I really didn’t fell like putting more time into it, it was at least a lot faster than that snow globe, and we both like it. Happy Holidays!!

Verrrrry nice, Gloria! (Where’s Buddy-the-dog? I hope he is still with you.) Best wishes on your surgery recovery, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Buddy is mentioned on the inside! Thanks for asking. Every year I try to get a picture of the three of us together rather than me adding a pix of him on the inside or a mention on the inside. For several years I used the same picture of him, adding him to our picture. Then one of my relatives said, “How is your dog in the same position every year?” :) Magic.
And thanks on the recovery wishes.

Happy holidays and great gobs of Christmas joy to you and yours.
