I love Christmas. Loooooooove Christmas. I didn't feel right going all out and celebrating it when I was with the ex-FI, who is Jewish; he wouldn't have cared, but I just didn't feel right or respectful if I did. It's kind of nice that I can celebrate it however I want now without guilt. And what I want is a real, live Christmas tree.... and to collect ornaments, and to hang tinsel, and to curse while I'm trying to untangle the little blinking fairy lights. I don't know why I don't just go out and get a darn tree... maybe because to me, Christmas symbolizes family. Seems like kind of a waste to get a Christmas tree just for me, ya know?
I compensate by making the cutest Christmas tree cards ever this year. : )
I used a really cute pickup truck stamp, and manually cut out a Christmas tree from cardstock. Here's a closeup:
There are so many things this little pickup truck can theoretically lug around. I was thinking maybe an Christmas ornament (like the ornament punch-out I used for the past three or four cards, haha). Or an oversized heart, for a cute Valentine's Day card.
I sent this card to Louise and Jeremy, who also received my latest wedding card. Louise recently published a Paleo lifestyle dessert cookbook, and it is ranked #1 in three categories on Amazon (health, baking and women's health) and #7 in all Kindle cookbooks! SO amazing!! SO proud of her!!
I totally live vicariously through her.
