A special card for you this Christmas, Brittany. Actually, I made a paper one which is en route to Bay Roberts by Tom and Joanne. But with your flights all tangled up and the delays getting home, I am sending you an electronic one too. You see, this year I decided to do electronic ones for everyone living away. It was a BIG decision for me for I love designing and making cards, going through my Christmas list, addressing the envelopes ~ even bringing them to the Post Office. I was disappointed until I started to make this … it was so much fun. I hope you like it.
And, of course, I am including a recipe as always (at bottom of page). Not sure if both of you do the baking, but whomever it is, you should really give this one a try. I tried it out and it was SOOOO easy and delicious.
I’m guessing this Christmas will be one for the books … you and Robyn will be telling stories about it through to old age. Thank goodness you are both together – that’s the main thing. I have a feeling that, despite the hassle and the troubles, you’ve both found things to laugh about and enjoy. Now I’m hoping there’s no more interruptions or inconveniences in travel and that you get to see your families in Newfoundland. Have a wonderful time!
Merry Christmas
Brittany and Robyn
I wish you a Christmas
filled with
Hugs, Laughter, Smiles and Warmth
And, may the coming year
bring you
blessings beyond measure.
