Today's post will only be a short one after a very quiet Christmas. I want to show you two Christmas cards I received before Christmas. The first one comes from Erika and I truly love her design - the beautiful green color, the silver star, the tiny peppermint candy embellishments.
The second one arrived after its long journey from Scotland. Can you guess who sent it?
Of course it's from Elle. The cat at the back of the card says it all...
And this is the front - such a beautiful Christmas-y scene, like a sunrise or sunset in the snowy forest.
I love both of these cards and am very touched that you thought of me, Erika and Elle. Thank you so much again!
But I cannot leave without showing a drink since this is for Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Tuesday. This delicious bottle of red wine got dressed in a gingerbread man costume before it arrived in my home. I hope it still counts even though it is hidden?
To everyone in the T gang - have a happy, healthy and peaceful 2023.
You are lucky Elle's card has arrived. Mine is still in transit, some where. And thank you for the lovely card. What a peaceful photo was on it. And its right up my alley being a close up-smile. Your wine in his gingerbread outfit is great. What a cute idea. I hope you have a lovely T day, rest of 2022 and happy start to 2023. Hugs-Erika

So many of us who grew up with "real" mail still look forward to receiving it. I can see why you were delighted, Carola.

ReplyDeleteBeautifulst... ach was. Bin immernoch nicht ganz fit - deutsch!!!! Allerschönste Karten, oh, und dass sie heil ankam mit dem Pfefferminz (kennst du noch das Lied von... ach wie hieß der noch, "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz"...
ReplyDeleteWeihnachten ist ja nun vorbei - also einen Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Himmel, nicht wörtlich!
Ihr seid in den Nachrichten mit dem Wetter... Wir haben 6C! Verrückte Zeiten...

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of dressing up a wine bottle! Better than those long skinny gift bags.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest-of-the-holiday week. And a fun New Year’s Eve.

Very pretty cards you received, and the wine bottle is so cute dressed up like that. Hopefully it is a great wine too. Happy T-day and Happy New Year, Carola. Hugz
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards and the gingerbread wine bottle is so cute. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteBoth Erik and Elle are wonderful artists. These are truly gifts the cherish. Have a lovely day today.
ReplyDeleteSo glad at least one person received a card from me lol. Ironic how they have postmarked it with "post early for Christmas" when the reason for that is because they've been on strike so much this month lol. I love Erika's card and the cute little peppermints, and that gingerbread man bottle cover is so cute! Happy Holidays and Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx Oh btw my blog is not a blogspot blog!
