MAKING CHRISTMAS CARDS

Thought I'd get ahead of myself and get my overseas Christmas cards made early and save myself on a bit of postage - was fooled - went this morning to post a bundle 'sea mail' before the end of October to ensure they got to their destination in time for Christmas only to find out that that service is no longer available - only parcels may now go by sea! What?? Normal price to send a card o/seas? $1.45 - next week a 'special' Christmas card rate comes in for $1.25. Needless to say I'll wait now till nearer Christmas as it's not going to be any cheaper.
You get caught sometimes don't you? Anyway I've enjoyed the therapy of making the cards!
Have a blessed weekend!

Your cards are lovely. It's always so nice to receive something handmade. I especially like the angel with the plaid:)

I love making cards - lots of fun from the shop bought ones

What lovely cards! Anyone getting one of those should feel very special. I can sympathize with your mailing rates. The one give-away I had for my blog was won by a reader in Australia and I was shocked at the cost of mailing the package! She was so thrilled with it though so it was worth it! Have a lovely day!

Your cards are gorgeous, well done on trying to get a jump-start by mailing them early, BBBOOOO to Aussie post.

How beautiful....this Ms. Uncreative wishes you would post some instructions for non-crafty people to follow...I would love to try my hand at something like that. They are beautiful.
