I'm glad to hear that your step-mother is doing so well. I was also
happy to hear that she is in good spirits. I have to say that with all the support that is available and virtual strangers who give you hugs and best wishes, it's hard to be down for too long. My family is amazed that I'm doing so well. Of course I've told them that I'll probably fall apart after the surgery. But that's ok. I like to make the same Christmas card for everyone because if I make several designs that I like, I have a hard time choosing who to send what card. That's what happened to me three years ago, my first year of making cards for Christmas. This year I'm just hoping to make some and for sure, they will all be the same as I think that will be easier for me now. Helen P. S. I tried to send this directly to you but kept getting an error message stating that the user is unknown. |

We started making them for the first time this year using a few new stamps
from All Night Media. They are really nice. We have 4 different styles. If anyone wants to see them, they are in the gallery at www.theembellishmentstore.com We are up to about 25 made and hope to have 20 made of each pattern to give out/sell this holiday season. Would love to see what others have done. SpeakEasy "Erin-Joi Collins McNeal" wrote in message ... Helen, Please send me your full name. This weekend I will be walking 35 miles in a marathon walk for Breast Cancer. I would be honored to carry your name along with the others that I carry for inspiration. About mile 20, I need to remind myself of why I do these walks. Seeing all those names on a card keeps my feet moving. Best of luck with your outcome, Erin-Joi ************************************************** * If you think that something small cannot make a difference---try sleeping with a mosquito in the room. If I told you that I was walking 35 miles in 2 days to help women with undetected breast cancer find out early enough to survive, would you support me? http://erinjoi.pledgepage.com Feel free to forward my pledgepage to anyone interested in the walk or the cause. "Helen" wrote in message ... I love making Christmas cards as it is my favorite holiday. But this year might be a little different. I had my annual mammogram on Oct. 2 and the radiologist found a suspicious spot. After talking to my doctor and going to see a surgeon and then having a needle biopsy, it's cancer. I'm waiting for the doctor's office to call today to let me know when the surgery is going to . Fortunately it was caught early and he thinks a lumpectomy and radiation is all that I'll need. Thank goodness! After that is all behind me I'll get to work on my cards. And if I find that I'm not motivated to do so, I have some backup store bought ones. Helen |

All mine were done by Labor Day! Since I teach I have the time for making
mass quantities in the summer & not in the fall. I made about 150! I did about 5 or 6 different designs. I stamp & color them all them cut & mount them with contrasting / coordinating backgrounds etc. Even though there are a limited number of stamps used, there really are no two alike as I tend to vary my coloring or mounting techniques. My favorite this year were the ones where I pressed the image onto velvet paper. Pine branches onto green and snowflakes or nativities onto dark blue! Yummy! -- Peace, Judy "Cecelia Medbery" wrote in message news:zC8lb.5862$5c2.4410@okepread03... Are any of y'all finished making your Christmas cards? I thought I was ahead when I started mine in July, but have put them on the back burner so many times that now I'm behind! Yikes!!! I'm using a retired Stampin' Up set called "Curly Christmas". Not all are the same as that would make me crazy, but I also don't make them all different because I can't think up that many ideas. I am making about 20-25 of each design. This also helps by allowing me to use up paper I have instead of buying all the same colors. Cecelia |

You're in my prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm planning on making about 15 for close friends and family this year. I got
an issue of Woman's day best ideas for Christmas just recently and they have a wonderful page full of neat snowflake cards and accessories from PSX designs that I think I will try and simulate with my stampin up snowflake sets and my printer. ~Donna~ SAHM Val Gal 17, Wendy Woo 14, Seany 10 6 years of Stamping Bliss |

I'm having the second rubber stamp party at my house this weekend. We're
continuing to work on Christmas cards. I'm doing about three different designs. Doing them all the same would drive me bonkers. LOL Janie -- http://www.brightword.com Rubber Stamps, Spec Ed Advocacy, Homeschooling |

To all who sent me their prayers and good wishes, I'm home and doing
pretty well. The surgery on Monday went well...my left breast is completely gone (and the cancer with it!!!!!) and we are now waiting to hear from the pathologist as to whether there are any traces in the lymph nodes. Needless to say, we're praying there won't be any. I'm hoping to be stronger by the weekend so that I can start making some Christmas cards. Actually, I need to make some thank you cards for some of my very dear friends, but Christmas cards are high on my list of things to do. Thanks again to everyone out there. Oh, and by the way, if you haven't had your annual mammogram this year, schedule one RIGHT NOW! Early detection is so very important. Sorry, but I had to get on the soap box for just a brief second.

Fabulous! Glad to hear you are feeling so upbeat! Mood can affect recovery
so much. Let the group know if there is anything we can do to help you.
