Nan from Artful Journey sent this adorable mitten card with and a beautifully decorated envelope. I love the mittens Nan drew to match the card and the luscious, candy cane lettering. Nan and I met some 20 odd years ago through Masscribes the Massachusetts calligraphy guild
Through classes at the Worcester Art Museum and the guild, I met Dave, the mailman. Dave sent this handsome envelope with lettering done in gradations of blue to coordinate with the Year of the Rat stamp.
Inside, this wonderful 11" x 17" calligraphy sampler. I love the Holidays all running away from 2020
For Christmas Eve morning, well, more like lunch as I started a little later than planned, I baked a batch of cinnamon rolls to have with my cup of tea.

ReplyDeleteCinnamon rolls, what’s not to love?
DeleteNice happy mail CJ. Nan's card is beautiful and the calligrapher mailman made an amazing card too. I love all those holiday images running across the page also. And your cinnamon roll is making me very hungry. It looks delicious. I am hungry right now and I could use a little treat. Hope you had a great T day.
ReplyDeleteThe photo didn’t turn out as well as the cinnamon rolls did
DeleteThose are two very special cards! I love the holidays running away from 2020! LOL! Your cinnamon bun looks so good! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe holiday cartoons just crack me up
DeleteCinnamon rolls are my favorite!! thanks for sharing...it looks really yummy. ;) Love both of the cards, so original and beautiful! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, too
DeleteI was sure I had left you a comment, but I left one on yesterday's post, but not T Tuesday. I swear there are days I need help. Or maybe a new brain.
ReplyDeleteNan's card is jaw dropping. I love how it matches the envelope. She is SO clever and draws SO well. Dave did an incredible job on that sampler. It was wonderful. I really LOVED how he drew all the holidays being chased across the bottom of the card.
Your cinnamon roll is making me hungry. You are not the first person to make cinnamon rolls this week and now I'm really craving one. Thank you for sharing your happy mail, your cinnamon roll, and your tea with us for T this Tuesday. Well, it's still Tuesday in MY world.
Nan's card is a commercial card, but she brilliantly added the mittens and decorations to the envelope.
DeleteWow what a nice mitten card and that envelope! Wonderful calligraphy is just amazing. Hey, cinnamon rolls any time of day. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteNan and the Mailman are both talented
DeleteCinnamon rolls with a cup of tea... such a good idea :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Doesn't get much better
DeleteBoth cards and the envelope are stunning! The holidays running away from 2020 are hilarious. Let's hope they fare better in 2021.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best in 2021 and a Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
So far, 2021 is not starting out on the right foot.
DeleteLoved seeing yourChristmas treats! The calligraphy is fabulous! Belated Happy T Day and Happy New Year! Chrisx
