So many thanks!

This card was created as a Thank-you to all my DH's postal cutomers who blessed him with Christmas thank you gifts for his continued good service! Not too many people think to tip the mail man these days, but a faithful few do, and we are so blessed. Many give him coffee shop gift cards and homemade goodies. The first time I made cards for his work TY's he was hooked and now I made 20-30 cards just for his mail route. (He has 457 deliveries!) I wanted to use up some of my scraps from our Christmas cards, which is why I ended up with such a clean geometric design. I struggle to keep cards simple sometimes, but I just love how this turned out! (The green strips are from our cards....I made over 75!) As I noted in the previous post, this stamp and sentiment are from Cornish Heritage Farms, one of the best rubber stamp companies IN THE WORLD!!! If you've never seen their images, do check out their website! Beautiful!

I am spending the day chilling out, preparing for my grad class lecture tomorrow night and organizing the house post Christmas....all lofty goals, left until the last minute. I love holidays!

Please continue to pray for Haiti! Our missions team is still planning on leaving the first week in February. I am not going on this trip, as it is mid school year; I wish I was, though! Pray for our preparations and that our team will have what they need to help to the people as easily as possible! Bless you all!

  2. What a lovely card, it's really great that you do handmade cards for you DH. I am sure the folks that get them feel very special! I will definitely keep Haiti in my prayers as well as and your mission team. What a horrendous tragedy, it does seem natural disasters are becoming more and more prevalent.
