I appliqued silk onto calico to make this year's Christmas card image (I cropped the image then added a red border using a free editing programme called 'PicMonkey'). The wording inside the card will be: On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
Very nice ... but I'd rather have a box of chocolates! |

Great card, Lyn! I bet your family really look forward to seeing what new design you come up with each year  |

I'm glad it made you smile Wolgelukkig!
Friends and family may appreciate the card Zed but my husband moans about the cost of getting them printed - he doesn't see the value in a greetings card because as far as he's concerned it's a ten second wonder: open envelope, quick glance, put on shelf, throw in bin.

Noooo! I'd much rather have your card than a box of chocolates any day Lyn! It is wonderful, I really admire your stitch work. My husband is a glance, shelf, forget kind of guy too....

I like cards, but I might not go as far as choosing one over a box of nice, dark chocolate mint creams. Or orange creams. Or maple...  I love the card, Lyn. |

Love your partridge Lyn. He's got such personality I don't send Christmas cards any more. Just the one I do for the card swap here. |

Aren't men funny. I think it's a great card, full of fun and whimsy.

I don't send cards anymore either, mostly for the same reasons your husband said, Lyn, but I save any handmade ones I receive, they certainly don't go in the bin!

I still send cards as it helps me to either:
keep in touch with people that I don't see very often (geographical reasons)
or
to let special people know that I still think of them with fondness - people that have come and gone but were important at the time and maybe helped or changed my circumstances.

I love the little angry-looking partridge! Also love your rationale for sending cards, Lyn.

I like sending cards and getting them. I just never seem to get around to doing it.
