Oh my these are darling! Love the stitches behind offsetting the patterned paper tree. Yuppers if these dont bring JOY nothing can! As for thank yous sent.. usually, but it does depend on the person (twice someone was offended). Merry Christmas ... and extra treats for Maddie!
ReplyDeleteCute shakers! Love the stars!
ReplyDeleteI don't always send thank you notes... I should though!
Our family draws names to give gifts and I'm usually with that person when I open it...unfortunately I won't be this year. However, my thank you is usually an in-person hug and peck on the cheek! I hadn't thought about it until now, but this year I think I will send the person who gives me my gift a thank you card. Thanks for helping me think about this :)
ReplyDeleteCute eskimo cards. I like the papers. We open presents in person and say thank you in person.
ReplyDeleteReally cute eskimos. I only send out thank yous if I opened the gift away from the person.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards! I usually see the people who give me gifts, if it arrives in the mail I usually call to say thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis are adorable....I love the colors you chose. I always send thank yous for Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeletePretty purples in your backgrounds and love the star shakers with the little eskimos. I send a thank you when I receive money, but other gifts I thank in person, e-mail or call.
ReplyDeleteA sweet Christmas card, it's lovely to see you at Allsorts 'Sparkle and Shine' theme this week, many thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a peaceful Christmas and lets all pray 2021 is a safer one for everyone.

Wonderful cards. Great colors and design. I like the cute little images. So glad you shared over at Crafty Catz.. Yes I send out thank you cards. I think it's so important to let the giver you are thankful for their present they thought hard to give you.. I wish the younger crowd would still do it. but I am not seeing that. Happy New year.

Absolutely beautiful color combo. Hope your New Year started great and we're so delighted that you took the time to join our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Living you with the timeless Word of God that comes from 2 Peter 1:19-20 that says, "And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation." Be encouraged.
