our christmas card.

I really like Christmas cards. My mom usually keeps them in a basket during the holidays, and I love reading through them each year to see what friends and family are up to. I wanted to keep things simple this year for ours, but also signify the big change in our lives that happened in 2011: our move to Texas. I came up with this design, which allowed me to print them at home and send as a postcard...

 We sent these to our family and friends that are sprinkled across the West Coast. I had another set of cards that say "Merry and Bright," that we sent to friends here in Abilene.

Do you send out Christmas cards? Do you like getting them in the mail? I love both the sending and receiving.

xoxo.

P.S. See last year's card here.

foodie greetings.

thank you [multiplied].

writing these. which i love. and trying to not repeat myself too much.

saying thanks.

it just so happens that i LOVE writing thank you notes. really, i look forward to it.

handwritten notes are the best kind, and everyone loves getting mail. at least i do! maryn got me these adorable thank you notes from papyrus to send out after saturday's shower. they even came with seals for the envelopes. how sweet.

wax paper hearts.

for valentine's day, i made wax paper crayon hearts for the first-graders. who knew shaving crayons and ironing wax paper could be so fun! this is my favorite new craft!
