Christmas Cards - Yes, Christmas In July

I know it's Summer but it might as well be Winter, the weather is shocking. We've had hardly any sun but have had lots of gray days and rain. I decided to get ahead of the game and start my Christmas preparations early and so made these Christmas cards. I've decided to use these designs and go with a KISS approach this year...Keep It Simple Sweetie

I'm becoming so addicted to making Mail Art, so much so that I'm involved three swaps at present. Here's three envies I've done, haven't decided what is going where and so I don't mind sharing at this point. TYFL

Captured Fair In A Jar x2

I've just hosted a swap over on LOT{S}B where we had to make a captured fairy in a jar. I was lucky enough to make two of them and I'd so much fun creating them. They are a bit tricky to make but I love how they turned out. TYFL

I am asking you to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Ellie would love to get cards and so we are asking everyone to send her a card to help keep her spirits up. Her postal address is
