Powers holiday envelopes




It's interesting to observe my daughter (a first born, strong-wiled person) as she raises her own first born, strong-willed daughter. For a couple years, I coordinated and produced holiday cards for the family. Then, with covid, etc, we didn't get any sent. This year, 11 year old Alex made it her mission to pester her mom to have a holiday card. They weren't sure that Nanna was up for addressing, but I assured them that if they planned. ahead so that I had a month to address them, it would be fine. 

They did not consult with me on the color of the envelope - and we all wished that we could have purchased full sheets of the owls and bunnies - which were also on a black background. We ended up using a lot of the snowflakes because. 3 of the colors looked nice on the green. 

I have 20 teal snowflakes leftover and they will probably show up on my January exchange envelopes. The lower one is that style that *Anonymous* found on an ancient post and asked for numbers. I posted them on Dec 17 - and did a pencil version of exchanger's names. 


I rather like the two weights on Tome's envelope - but it seems like both names having 4 letters is part of why I like it..... hopefully I have fun (and a bit of success) if I actually try that style on the Jan envelopes.
