First of all, apologies for lack of posts last week. My Dad was taken by ambulance to Lismore Hospital with a heart attack. He subsequently was transferred up to Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane for further tests and has had stents placed for a blockage. They discharged him back to Lismore Hospital for a night and after he got home the next day he was re-admitted again for further pains. All very worrying and frustrating. The good part was I got to see all my family again; sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews and great niece and nephew. Next time though I think we'll just organise a get together without the hospital part.
Before Christmas I found a few of my past Christmas cards while tidying up, and my sisters have found a few more for me. I definitely think my style has improved over the years. Hope you do too.
This is the first one my family and I can find. Not much going for it except the lovely shimmery cardstock. Oh, and inside was a beautiful stamp that said "Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas" embossed with gold in a beautiful script with lots of loops.
For this one I remember my mum and dad had bought me back a few sheets of the red handmade paper from a factory in Tasmania from one of their holidays. I tore the edges of the paper for the matt and borrowed Santa from a friends. He was coloured in with normal pencils and his "furry bits" were KindyGlitzed for sparkle. I remember thinking it needed something more, so I found some ribbon to pop behind Santa. The insert was typed on the computer on red paper and cut out with fancy scizzors. Better than the previous one, but not by much.
