A Christmas Card for You
We’ve continued our annual family tradition of making — rather than purchasing — Christmas cards. This years’ are especially nice since most of the materials came from a friend who gave us a load of paper and the design concept and execution were handled by my 11-year-old.
Painted paper with shades of green;
Cut out triangle trees with zig-zag scissors;
Added a trunk and glued the trees to black paper, then spatter-painted white with toothbrushes.
Our snowy, evergreen cards:
Merry Christmas, readers, and on Earth, Peace.

These are soooo beautiful, Lisa! Ironically, this year we received some recycled wrap sent to my bro from past years (my daughter’s handprints and handstamps and painted creations) and seeing her art from the past all crinkled and creative made me downright wistful. She’s just not ‘into’ that stuff with me anymore..sigh. Enjoy it while you can.
