I was lucky to have been invited to join in this month's Christmas Blog Hop. I have to agree it's never to early to get starting on those Christmas Cards I make anywhere from 70-80 a Year and mail out alot to my friends so it's really nice to have a quick stash available when needed to make it a stress free holiday. Can you imagine trying to make 80 cards in Dec OMG you'd pull your hair out lol or would they all be a sticker slapped in the middle of folded paper. Humm that sounds like the 1st year I made Xmas Cards. I've made some progress since then.
This month the theme is snowbound lots of things to do with snow

I love your cards. My favorite is the chubby snowman card. I have been wanting him. He is so jolly looking. I love the color scheme you chose to use. Mostly snowmen are done with blue colors. Very cute Santa mouse. I love the ribbon you used. It looks vintage. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown edwinabrown@comcast.net
