Christmas and Winter Cards  --  Posted: Wednesday, Dec 23 2009

Hi Everyone,
...ready or not Christmas is in two days. I'm sure you are all busy doing those last minute details that can't be missed, whether it's shopping, wrapping up the last gifts, food, and warning your family to not peep into this certain drawer...or.... the list goes on, in the midst of everything, make sure you remember that Jesus is truly why we celebrate Christmas.
   Just a friendly reminder, get the stamps ordered from the retired stamps or click here, to make sure you get them while they are still available, they will only be available until Dec. 31. Enjoy this week's cards, and I pray that each one of you has a very Merry Christmas with your friends and family. Emma Lou
