The Snow is Glistening

Hi, Have you made any holiday cards yet?  I don't want to be in the same situation that I am usually in every Christmas.  However, the problem I can see with having my cards done early is that I think of someone else I should send a card, so I make another, then think of …

Holiday Florals

Hey, Here I am with another Christmas card (in July!!!).  Christmas in July is one of my favorite things.  For years when I taught school, every summer I would watch old Christmas movies while it was scorching hot outside (Florida).  One year, we moved across town after school was out for the summer.  I started …

A Tropical Christmas
