In those days I used to design a simple line drawing and photocopy them on coloured card, but this was still pretty labour intensive. Nowadays I don't make or send cards at all. My hubby does it. Now he's retired, and now Mum and Dad no longer take up so much of his time, he spends most of his time playing with his man toys so I sit back with an easy conscience and try not to get overtired in this season with so many social commitments and general busyness! This isn't a season I really enjoy any more... no, I'm not really a bah-humbug person!<br /><br />I like your card, btw.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-2612920543293118892018-12-08T14:25:57.305+00:002018-12-08T14:25:57.305+00:00Awesome post.Awesome post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-7067061445715103642018-12-08T06:28:26.727+00:002018-12-08T06:28:26.727+00:00Ah, nice try, Julia!

I'm thinking it goes back to the beginning of time when men porpoisely evolved with horrid handwriting so they would never be saddled with the business of signing the cards! We in this card-making hobby should have an understanding that we can send out just handmade card fronts with a quick update written on the back, like postcards inside envelopes. That would keep it all fun and do away with the housekeeping aspect. <br /><br />Can you tell I'm weary from signing over 200 of them, lol?! But I still wouldn't change it knowing how much it means to the recipients and how much I enjoy getting them in return! Hope you are doing well, my friend! 🎄Happy Holiday Love and Hugs, DarnellDarnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723876053535575880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-30589563130729857412018-12-07T18:26:15.287+00:002018-12-07T18:26:15.287+00:00Haha if I had got my husband to write the cards th...Haha if I had got my husband to write the cards the post office would send them to China as his writing was appalling. <br />My cards are not done but will be after the weekend.

Love it.<br />Every year I get a card from my aunt and uncle and on it is simply written Dear Shaz have a happy Christmas, love from Uncle Barry and Aunty Elaine.<br />My sisters and I remark on it each year. <br />How they are.. no idea, what they've done no idea..<br />Reckon that's a Mr Dunnit card. Asked my aunt once and she said its cos she refused to his rellies as she's enough with hers!<br />Praying for you.<br />Love Shaz.x<br />ShazInOzCardsCalligraphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246279405851387500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-87966416474803922662018-12-07T10:16:19.399+00:002018-12-07T10:16:19.399+00:00Laughing at your post here!

I do make a few cards, but most are brought from the Greyhound charity.<br /><br />Hope you can find your hubby loads of jobs he'd rather not do, as punishment for not writing out the cards:) LOL<br /><br />Hope you have a fab Friday.

IYKWIM! Now retirement has arrived I decided that it was fair that the dining table became a shared torture for Crimbo card writing... so DH does his kids and grandkids and I do the rest of the world....
