So pretty...

Over the years, my sweet aunt, Inge, has given us many Christmas-related gifts, among them a number of table cloths and runners. This is one of my favorites! I love the winter scenes and decided to use it as a backdrop for a very special Christmas card.

A dear friend of ours in Albuquerque is a talented calligrapher and every year, she and her husband send out a card that his entirely handmade and always features her calligraphy and is folded in a clever way! I thought all you creative folks might enjoy seeing it.


Peace on earth and goodwill to men is a wonderful thing to wish for all of us! I'm so glad you all have become part of my world!

    That is an interesting card and I must show my daughter who likes paper folding.

  2. Wow! Neat card -- those folks are very clever. And I like the lovely, subdued shades of the tablecloth. Is it woven?
