Here are my card and details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...
General Information:
- Okay, I think that I am pretty safe with posting this today, I was going to wait until after the holidays but I've got a little time today so I am just going to go ahead and do it. Given that the hubs is busy baking, I don't think he'll be checking out my blog. Actually, I don't think he checks it very often at all but just in case...
Hubs, if you are seeing this then you need to back away from the computer screen or you'll ruin your Christmas card.
Really, I mean it!!!
FRONT
- The image on the front, Candy Cane Anneke, is available for purchase over at From the Heart Stamps. Click HERE or on the watermark below to go to its location in the store.
