Christmas Cards

I love Christmas so much, normally I have our personal Christmas Cards completed before December 1.  This year however, I haven’t even started yet.  I’m thinking about only sending cards to the people that send a card to us.  Sad I know, but that’s where I am at the moment.  I think the reason behind this is doing all the cards for Ingenuity.

I ordered the cards through Guide Dogs Queensland.  They are absolutely beautiful cards.  However, before I ordered them, I asked if they could print our greeting in the card.  I was told they could.  So when I ordered them at the beginning of October (yes I’m very organised), I was surprised when I was told that I couldn’t get them printed with our greeting.  So when we got our order of Christmas Cards – a lot dammit – I had to print our greeting onto it.

Our laser printer has a habit of grabbing 5 cards at once, so I had to stand at the printer and feed each card & envelope in.  Then stuffing them into their appropriate envelope, putting on the stamp and then the card only sticker (the Aussie Post guy told me that I had to put on the card only sticker or we will get charged extra).  After a full week of doing the Christmas Cards, I’m well and truly over it.
