85 & Counting

It's Christmas card time! Actually one of my favorite things about Christmas. Here's the journaling for today's JYC # 3 entry:

That’s how many cards will be going out this year. I love getting them and I really love making them. This year was a real first – I typed the annual Larsen Christmas letter in one sitting took it home and not one objection from the crowd at home. Can’t beat that! I’m trying not to stress about the photo (we’ve never not had one). If we can get one when we decorate the tree that would be awesome but if we don’t I can always make a Photoshop montage! The cards will be out in plenty of time to make the Postal Service Dec 10th deadline. Postage is now up to 42¢ per card. A small price to pay to send all my friends and family a little cheer. The worst part of all – we’ve yet to get a single card this year!

The journaling is on top of an excerpt from this year's family Christmas letter.

Just awesome, Gaye. Love the combination of colors on this & the journaling about cost of a stamp, etc!

I too, love the number, and I also run my letter by the peanut gallery. There is usually some objection, but...oh well...I'm the Queen of this castle.
