Holiday Card Swap Winner

I know, I was expecting to pull the winner earlier, but we had some cards that were drifting in from far away, so I wanted to give snail mail a chance to get them all here safe and sound.  You know how slow the Post Office is around the Holidays. 

Well, I am happy to report that I think most of them have arrived.  And if not, I am so sorry, really I am, but I couldn’t keep you (or me) in suspense any longer. 

First, let me share a few of them with you.

Angie sent the Frenchie-est card.

Card5

Stephanie send the most creative card. I do believe it was handmade.

Card2

Chouzy sent one from Israel, which says *Thanks* in 15 different languages.  The greeting is in Hebrew and it opens the other way.  How cool is that!

Card4

Laume remembered that I love snowmen.

Card1

And Anne sent Penguins from England!  My other favorite.

Card3

And the winner (name picked out of a Santa Hat of course) is…..

Kathy (her card was musical-and played the Charlie Brown Christmas song)

Congratulations!  Your little care package will be on its way.  Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to all who participated!  All of your cards meant so much. I *heart* you all!  I am so lucky to have met you this year.  I think I will put this card swap on the list again for 2008.  It was great fun!

      What fun to get all these cards! Wouldn’t it be great to return to the days when you could go to your mailbox and find handwritten notes instead of receiving 13 credit card offers and 20 bills?
      Happy new year!

      I love those little penguins on the card Anne sent. They’re such adorable creatures, and they look like they’re wearing Phantom of the Opera masks.
