I thought I was the only person who rated Christmas cards! I gave the award to Barb Y this year too. She also took first prize last year – you can’t ever go wrong with a beautiful Chirstmas tree on Crane paper! I love your blog!

Great idea! If I could give an award for the most unexpected (yet delightful) card, it would be the LS one you and Judy sent. Thank you!!

Hi Laurie, I just want to thank you for keeping us represented in all this card giving and keeping in touch. If I had to do it alone I would probably just send a card (or better yet email someone) and then just ask them to update others on how we were doing…If they felt like it.
You are the best!

Hi, Charles. Yes, I truly appreciate all the cards! I just love going out to my mailbox every day of December (the only month I think I enjoy that!). There’s no other time of year that people even send cards and pictures anymore, you know? Although e-mail makes things quicker and more convenient, there’s something happily warm and comforting about opening a real mailbox and seeing a real stack of envelopes that you know will connect you to all your family and old friends.

P.S. the card is by bluedresspress.com A local Seattle biz run by 2 moms. Check them out they do great work for reasonable prices on both Christmas as well as Baby Announcements. This year’s was a custom design and if anyone wants this remember to plan ahead and give them more lead time to get proofs sent out to you.

Thanks for the photography award. Very kind of you. This year’s photographer is Della Chen in Seattle but previous year’s efforts were by Paul Barnett of San Diego. Both were a huge pleasure to work with and always produce more lovely photos than I can possibly display. I’m so impressed you have a Blog! How uber 21st c of you. I just barely got on Facebook Happy New Year!! Libby

That’s great that you decided to give out awards for cards. I know my wife takes a lot of time picking out or making just the right thing for Christmas cards. Personally, I am happy because I (were it solely up to me) would probably just find an old “sympathy” card and cross it out and put “Merry Christmas” on it; or not even give out a card at all. My wife lets people know that our family is still going strong. So, I find it cool that you take the time out to acknowledge the cards that really moved you!
Mazel tov!

Well, your Blog will be fun for you and fun for all of us to read. Dad and I are being left in “the dust” as far as the speed of technology is concerned. I’m still trying to figure out this email thing. “Blog”???? Oh My !!!!!!
When I saw your Headline “Acardemy Awards” I thought to myself, “Oh my gosh, she spelled “Academy” wrong. Then when I got what you were writing about, I though “How Clever!!!” So now I’ll have to check in with your daily “Blog”. Have fun!!!!!
