All my Christmas cards and packages have been mailed

I can make a huge sigh of relief knowing that all my Christmas cards and packages have been made and mailed out.
If I have forgotten anyone then I am truly sorry. I have a large family and many friends and acquaintances.  Knowing when to stop is difficult. It is not so much the creative part of card making ( I love that) it is the large amount of cash it takes to send the cards to long distance and overseas friends.
My DH is on duty at our hospital all over the Christmas holidays, so tomorrow we start our celebratory weekend by travelling to visit my 91 year old father and step mom. I shall meet my sisters and their husbands there, along with my two step children. On Sunday evening we shall have dinner with my husbands brothers and their wives at a nice country inn and weather permitting we shall be home on Monday.
I hope we have a safe journey as the weather forecast has promised lots of the white stuff!!
This last Christmas card is a simple one I made using stamps from Sparklensprinkle enjoy, and Christmas blessings to you all.

Biking families favourite Christmas image

I have been making Christmas cards for more years than I care to remember.
Now not, only do I make them for my husband and I , but also at the request of many other members of my family.
My son and his wife live in Scotland with their four daughters, and motorbikes are a big love of their lives.
I remember buying this unmounted stamp on one of my trips to Florida, but I cannot for the life of me remember who made it. The sack on Santa's motorbike, has over the years, had many personalised names on it, not to mention a variety of goodies ties to the back.
Still it always makes for a fun card.

Christmas is coming fast

Just how fast is Christmas creeping up on us?
Thank goodness one of the forums I belong to persuade me at the beginning of 2010, to make 5 cards each month, towards THIS Christmas.
 At least I am not under as much pressure as usual. In fact the cards I make, and send to acquaintances, have already been posted and all I have to do is make very personal ones for special friends.
 Here is one I made this weekend especially for a friend who loves angels.
Black and white themed art work is also a favourite of mine , so I combined the two. Hope you like it?
