I REALLY need to get my Christmas cards in the mail. They are stacked and ready to go, but addressing them and putting the stamps on them is the tedious part. So....did anyone read the Dear Abby yesterday, about the lady who used to make handmade cards with her niece? And how someone sent her a check the next year so she could "afford" to go buy "real" cards???? OMG! How awful is that? What a snotty witch!!! If people only knew how much MORE it cost to make handmade cards. I definitely have parred down my Christmas card list, because some people are just not "handmade" card worthy. KWIM? I am guessing this lady is one of "those". LOL! If anyone wants to read the actual letter and what Abby had to say about it go HERE. It is the second letter so you have to scroll down.
That's all I have for you today! Off to work on those cards. YIKES! I will definitely be thinking and re-thinking about who I send them to!

This is just beautiful Emily!
I was going to write the same comment as StampinCathy! :) Your card is super lovely, Emily! That story is crazy. I agree, some people are just not handmade worthy, or even store bought worthy for that matter. LOL
gorgeous card gf... and omg.... wow... some ppl... ppl just don't seem to appreciate handmade cards anymore.. it's so sad.
Ouch!! That Dear Abby hurt. Glad you brought it to my attention, though. I was in the middle of assigning recipients to my stack of handmade cards and definitely did some re-thinking!!! I hope the thought that giving handmade cards is "cheap" isn't widespread--how very sad. It takes so much more time and effort and is so much more personal to give/receive handmade!!! Anyway, your card is gorgeous, Emily!
Gorgeous card hun!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
