Confession time - Mine all went out yesterday. :tomato: I got my secret sis package out on time and needed to make a few more cards. I finished them this weekend and dropped them at the post office yesterday.

Thank you for all the cards I've received so far They are all so beautiful!!

Jill,
Hanging the first Christmas card that you receive
with an image of the 3 Kings is an Irish tradition,
(read superstition). You hang the card over your entrance door
and it stays there for the entire year, so that only good
things come to you through the entrance to your home
throughout the coming year.
I don't know when or how it started, but my parents
did it when I was growing up and I continue the same
tradition. I also send cards made with the Kings image
to family members that I know continue doing the same

That's a lovely tradition. I need to look at all of the cards we've received so far to see if we have one here.

Hey, I've got a wee bit of Irish mixed in with all that Scots bluid!

Monica...thanks for posting the picture. It's fun to see the variety of cards, so many different ones than I received. I know all of mine were different, and also a few others did the same! Working with supplies on hand is a fun challenge.
