Preparations



We have spent the first days of our vacation-- the last days of Advent-- getting ready for the end of this week. The weekend included greening home and church, as written about yesterday, and a service project for the mother/daughter group to which we belong with some of our close friends. Yesterday, the focus was on making and wrapping up some hand-made gifts.

Every year at about this time, I start thinking about Christmas greeting cards. I did not think that I was going to make them this year, but I have found myself playing around with photos and collages and formats. I still think I'm going to put up a Facebook greeting (a green option) for those with whom I'm in contact online. Below, is one option that I liked for printing and making "in hard copy." It is 6 small images (some seen previously on this blog) on a white background. I'll play around with this some more today.

What lovely images. We so rarely make this week a time of preparation (other than frantically rushing around to finish shopping or attend events). What a gentle and sacred and happy week this seems to be for you! I have a little happy to bring by, perhaps tomorrow... I'll call first to be sure you're home.

I like the images like you have them, but I am torn in the way I always am because I want to see the images larger. We're doing homemade stuff over here tonight too.
