Christmas Cards 2010

I was unable to make homemade Christmas cards for everyone this year. Things were just too crazy towards the end of 2010. I was able to make 10 cards for immediate family and close friends this year. You will see 13 cards below, but 3 of those 13 were made the previous year. I'm sorry to all who received "store bought" cards this year. Here's to hoping I have more time in 2011.
