friday favorites - christmas cards

I love Christmas cards. I love designing them and I love addressing them. I love stamping each envelope with beautiful holiday postage and I love sending them off to sit in frosty mailboxes until they are happily discovered. And I very much love receiving Christmas cards. I love finding a brightly colored envelope amidst a stack of bills, and for that happy moment, the sight of that card fills my whole heart with pure Christmas delight. (If you're reading this, pretty please add us to your Christmas card list.)


If you're on MY Christmas card list (which you undoubtedly are, if you're reading this), lucky you! Because this is my first Christmas designing an "us" Christmas card, and our us Christmas cards are going to be so, so cool. (Yes, I already have them planned out...) Come December, look for a pretty treasure from us in your snow covered mailboxes.

  2. Reading this makes me want to send out Christmas cards...at least to you. Does everyone get feelings of anticipation wondering if there are any cards in their mailbox? Well, I am looking forward to receiving our card from you and Tim this year.

  4. If you would send me your address, I would be honored to add Mr. & Mrs. O'Brien to my Christmas card list. I'm making my own this year as well, and while they're not as fantastic as yours, they will be delightfully sparkly and shimmery. :)
