Crafty Tuesday

Here I was all ready to break out some photos of our Boutique and other craftiness from the past two weeks or maybe a sneak peek into our Christmas card, but then we opened our mail. And, um…wow.

Yeah, our stack of unfinished and un-assembled Christmas cards? They don’t hold a candle to what we found in our mailbox today.

They are works of art. All courtesy of (and copyrighted by!) Nana.

Seriously. These photos don’t even begin to do the cards justice. They are all hand-painted and assembled by Nana, with some help from her elf, Papa.

This one was Em’s – I LOVE the birdies!!

And, Addie’s. She nearly wet her pants when she opened it…”Awwwww! And it has a cat, Mama!” she screeched.

And this is only three of them. All different, all assembled with care. I think she does like 100 of them or something. Yes, I think we may have to award her the Crafty Award of the Week.

Anyone else have some Christmas crafts they can share? Please post your cards, so it will force me to feel guilty and assemble mine and get them in the mail. K? Thanks!

I don’t get all crafty with my cards. I did them for Harper’s first Christmas then decided it was too much for me. I go the cheap and easy photo card route. Those cards are magnificent. I see where you get all of your talent.

Amazing!!!

Those are the kinds of cards you lovingly store away to keep for generations. Little works of art, each of them. Wow!

K. – I DO! I have a file that I used to just keep fun cards for ideas, but lately it is just the “Mom file.” All of her cards go in there for when I need inspiration. Not that my cards ever even come CLOSE to hers.They are literally works of art. Hmm…we could frame them – some of the bday cards she does for the girls are outrageously adorable! They would be cute in little frames.
