Mama Says Monday

Well, my week of baking and Christmas on Main is over. So I can rest now, right? No, of course not. This week I need to make my Christmas cards. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. I sort of got a start last week. I needed to make some Christmas cards for a project for my Life Group. So that was sort of like a practice run to decide which cards I found easy, that I could make quickly, and which I found I liked the most, which were the prettiest that were worth the extra effort.

The best thing for me is the way the cards get delivered. Most of my cards go to my church friends. At our church we can just turn in our cards ( with just names, they don’t have to be addressed) where they will get sorted and given to the recipient. We make a donation of what we would spend on stamps (or more) to our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. That’s a Win-Win, with less time spent on addressing our cards, no dry tongue syndrome for me from licking stamps, and a way to increase our contribution to this mission offering. And yes, I could just buy the cards, but where is the fun in that?
