T Stands for Admiring Christmas Cards



Cards showing the Grandniece and Grandnephew from my side of the family and a card with the newest grandniece from Himself's side of the family. Also a lovely card from Master Deborah.


Center: Card from the T Day hosts, Elizabeth and Bleubeard, top: a card from a cousin of Himself's mother. Actually I think the theory of relativity is that the card is from the cousin's daughter. Right: a card from calligraphy buddy, Nan. Bottom: is a calligraphic card from a guild friend. Left but not least is the special card Teague picked out just for me. From the box of cards she purchased when I was with her. 

My calligraphy teacher, Gerry makes her cards every year.


A spectacular, glittery envelope from another instructor, Kathy. I do love being the teachers pet.

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang is up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.

Wonderful cards CJ. Happy mail is fun, isn't it? It's snowing here right now, but luckily it won't be so bad my daughter will be able to come tomorrow. And we'll have a white Christmas. I hope yours is wonderful. Merry Christman.

Indeed

You are most welcome

It's snowing here, too. It's supposed to end by noon which means the Eldest won't have problems getting to work and home tonight.

When I was a kid, exchanging Christmas cards in the mail was a tradition that everyone did with heartfelt joy. Now these days, it seems it has become a dying tradition. I am glad to see that your family still enjoy it!

Many blessings to you and yours, Kim

What lovely cards! I love caligraphy. I had a friend many years ago who did that and I still have the cards she sent me with caligraphy (although we are no longer in touch).
Wishing you and himself and all the family a very lovely Christmas,
Hugs,
Lisca

Sadly, the postage got expensive if you have a lot of family and friends. Texting or email is a lot cheaper

CJ Kennedy said...

Thank you, Jo, and you

Merry Christmas to you

Lovely cards, I did some calligraphy classes yonks ago with a friend from work in Sydney. I used to love receiving cards from her as the envelopes were so beautifully done. Happy Christmas and Happy T Day!

oh and I keep forgetting to say but I love your kitty Christmas background this month!

Iris Flavia said...

Such fun!!! I only managed to get two cards out this season... I blame it on the ever grey, nasty weather. There is no festive feeling over here.

CJ Kennedy said...

I love getting calligraphy stuff from my colleagues. Well, I love getting anything that's not a bill. 😺

The white kitten looks like Calli

CJ Kennedy said...

But you got 2 cards out. I haven't received as many cards this year as in other years. People just don't seem to be sending them anymore

Empire of the Cat said...

lol this is true!

Happy belated T Day and Christmas. Sorry to be so late visiting, but the pain and headaches have been so severe, I haven't been out of bed except for necessities.

You got some beautiful cards, especially the trees and the calligraphy cards. I'm thrilled mine made it in time, too.

Love your Naughty Grinch mug, too. It's perfect for T this week. Thanks for sharing it with us, dear CJ.

You shouldn't apologize and you shouldn't worry about commenting on blogs. A concussion is no laughing matter. You should be resting as much as you can. No TV, computer work, crafting.
