Christmas Card 2011

designed by etsy shop digibuddhaPaperie

Sending and receiving Christmas cards is probably my favorite thing about the holidays. I love getting mail, seeing photos, and yes, even reading those family newsletters.

Side note: I’m a big proponent of sending out photos even if you DON’T have kids, and including adults in the photos even if really you just want to show off your cute kids. I’m friends with YOU! I want to see YOU!

My Christmas wish for you is that you get to spend time with people you love. Thank you for sharing the highs and lows with me this year, and especially for lifting my spirits over the last four months. This blog and the friends I’ve made because of it have been a big part of my healing. I’m so grateful for you all.

    Cards are mementos and extensions of ones feeling at that particular time. They show that you care. I love giving and receiving cards as well.

    I don’t have kids yet, but I’ve already vowed to keep the adults in the holiday card photos when we do have them.

    Merry Christmas!

    What a beautiful card. Man, I never even thought about looking for cards on Etsy…I’m an idiot! I settled on a card that I didn’t love because I couldn’t find anything better! (But my card definitely included my husband and I…not just my son…even though my husband would prefer to not be included!)

    Hoping that you and Andrew had a good Christmas.

    I think the photographer deserves credit, too. It is a great photo.
    Did the etsy shop print the cards too, I have been wanting to ask you about this.

    What about just cats? :)

    I know I speak for anyone who reads this blog when I say, trying to support you is the very least any of us could do. Happy New Year. To better days ahead.

    Dear Janet and Andrew,

    2012 is going to be your (our, everyone’s I hope) year! At any rate it won’t be all the ****y parts of 2011, of which there were …many, I fear. Love to you and your families and peace and blessings as well. Many, many blessings. Like a + and a real, live healthy snuggly JanAndrew baby!
