For these two I used the stitched hills and trees dies by Lawn fawn, a bit of silver embossing, a stamped silver star and a few clear sequins.......
If anyone sends an unexpected card now, I'm done, they will get a bought card. Those I did remember were mailed yesterday, the postage came to the equivalent of the national debt of a small nation, and I had to wait for an hour to get served. The post office has a Christmas advert on TV which is full of jolly happy people singing little jolly songs and dancing around. Let me tell you that my experience bore no resemblance to this happy scene at all. It was difficult to see who looked the most un-jolly and grumpy, the customers or the staff. I was quite tempted to start a singsong by breaking into a chorus or two of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, but sanity prevailed - I had a lot to do and didn't fancy being carted off by men in white coats
See you tomorrow x
Lovely cards Enfys, the silver & white works so well together.

Love the line of silver trees against the white landscape. Wish I'd been there at the post office with. We could have started a singsong together...
ReplyDeleteLove it! And I know what you mean about postage charges - I just mailed my cards to the USA, only 6, and it cost me over £14!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Enfys! I agree, there is nothing pleasant about going to the post office in December.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are lovely! I had a funny mental picture of you breaking into song in the middle of the Post Office. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! (Elf) BethAnn M

Lovely cards as usual Enfys. Your post office doesn't sound as bad as ours - went in today & they have sold out of 2nd class stamps & don't know when they are getting more!! Is it any wonder the post office are in dire straits. Pat x
