First Christmas Card of the Season

 

Robin from Pink House Studio is the blue bird for sending her Christmas cards out before the month of November ended. I haven't even decided what my design will be.

Robin's card features her alter ego, Little Robin and the sentiment:

Ian sucked
life is hard
here's my stinkin'
Christmas card!

Happy Holidays

Hurricane Ian was a category 4 hurricane (winds up to 150 mph) that bowled through the state of Florida at the end of September (as well as Cuba, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago). The storm caused billions of dollars in damage as well as loss of life) The storm went over the area where Robin lives.

I shouldn't have laughed at the sentiment on the card, but I did. I love Robin's dry sense of humor. When things turn pear, you have to find the humor.

Thanks, Robin. You card brightened my mailbox. I'm glad the storm damage wasn't too  catastrophic for you and that you and your family are safe.

    I'm glad you mentioned the hurricane because I didn't even think along those lines. Funny card-even though I get the hurricane part. Did you get your living room all cleaned yesterday?

      Nope, just the dining room. I went to play with Teague today, and I'm teaching middle schoolers at the WAM on Fri. So further cleaning/decorating will have to wait for the weekend

    I too was pleased to read that the storm damage wasn't too catastrophic for Robin and that the family are safe.

    Happy December wishes.

    All the best Jan

    I usually have my tip-ins out the door by Dec 1, but this year I'm still working on them. Haven't even come up with a card design yet. But I only send about six cards and I send many tip-ins.

    Thanks for letting is know who Ian is. I knew, but I wonder how many in the international community did.

      We always look back on holidays with fond nostalgia, and forget that sometimes there is lots of drama

    It's good she could keep her sense of humor about it.
