I haven't sent Christmas cards out since the first year we were married. So this year, I was determined to do it. I had originally planned for us to take a Christmas picture and do that kind of card. But then I decided (since I've been kinda sorta crafty lately) that I'd just make them on my own! I made several different kinds.

I wanted them to be really simple, which they were. It was fun to sit down and come up with the different ideas. Then I set to addressing them all.

 And then I sent them off!

And now item number 2 is crossed off my December Manifesto!
