Yesterday's designer Christmas card was, I hope you will agree, unique. If you haven't printed it off yet, I am pleased to tell you that it's not too late to do so. It is guaranteed to impress family members and unexpected visitors.
Ever vigilant Meike - the creator of "From My Mental Library" - advised me that I suggested similar money-saving Christmas card print offs in both 2016 and 2017. It's good that she keeps a close eye upon me and even better that she has an excellent memory. I would be lost without her. Thank you Meike!
In 2016 and 2017 I shared my Xmas e-card designs. This is something I send to people who have not made our physical Christmas card list - distant cousins, former work colleagues, old friends from long ago.
I look through my vast library of photographs and pick one that I think the e-mail recipients might like. This year, rather than picking a traditional snowy image, I chose a picture of an arctic hare that I snapped one hot summer's day upon the moors between Sheffield and Manchester.
The hare had not noticed me. He was staring into the distance as if briefly mesmerised by the honeycomb warmth of that beautiful June day. Standing stock still I was able to capture six or seven images of him or was the hare a her? I'm not good at determining the sex of hares from a distance.
I posted about that day here. And below there's the e-card design that I sent out this Christmas. A happy summer moment in mid-winter:-
I love the laporidae! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Neil!
As I write this it is 10.10 in the morning in Sydney but 11.10pm on Christmas Eve here in England. I guess you have already ripped open your gifts. I have got a full night's sleep to get through. Happy Christmas Kylie!
DeleteThat is lovely! (And maybe the hare DID see you but was keeping very still in hopes that you wouldn't see him!)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Pudding :)
Merry Christmas to the Donkey herd!
DeleteI remember when you took that wonderful picture! It does make a fine card. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI have appreciated your supportive "voice" throughout the year Bonnie. Happy Christmas to you and all the people and critters that dwell in Missouri!
DeleteMerry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you my Lancastrian pal!
DeleteYou are a paragon of ecological and economical consciousness, YP. This photo is a really good choice. Blogging friend Monica (Dawn Treader) from Sweden has been posting a photo every day this Advent, like an Advent Calendar on her blog. She used pictures taking during a holiday trip across Sweden this past summer, and it amazed me how many summer pictures actually made very good Advent calendar pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely idea. I might steal it. Have a lovely day Meike!
DeleteBeautiful. I won't add any glitter to this one.
ReplyDeleteIf you tried the hare would definitely run away. Happy Christmas Sue!
DeleteBest Seasons Greetings to you and Mrs Pud. Thankyou for your interesting blog dialogue this year, your welcome and your interaction to those who comment, you make it a lovely place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI see it's 8pm in east coast Oz right now but nine in the morning here. I hope you have had a lovely Christmas Day Elle. I guess you'll have had several tinnies by now. THanks for your interest and your kind support.
