Cleverest of Cards

Pink :: You win!

You win for most clever card I got this year. Writing your Christmas letter like it was written by your mailman is just 2 clever indeed. What a great way to update everyone on your families adventures without it sounding like a brag-a-thon. I loved it. Who will report on you next year?

My most cleverly designed card was from my friend Barb. (I call her my friend even though we have never met in real life, just wonderful blogland. I just love her thoughts and ideas. And I get the best Good Mail from her. Hope she does not mind my sharing it here.) Her card was like a Polaroid film picture. One side was black and then you flipped it over like it had developed and it was her family picture. It just made me giddy with cleverness. It took Mr. Think a few minutes to get it.

Sort of like my Season's Greetings card a few years ago, remember? It had actual little salt and pepper packets on the front with talk bubbles coming from them that said "hello" and "hi y'all."

Here's a picture of it:

Get it? Get it? Season's Greeting??? Not sure anyone did but oh well.

It was a lot of work to pilfer all those salt & pepper packets from Wendy's for several weeks. That was the last Christmas card we sent out back in 2005. Totally Lame. But I am working on our card for this year. More of a New Year's card at this point I guess. Mr. Think gave me a very clever idea but I still have to pull it off. We shall see. Let's just say that it addresses the fact we have not sent a card out in a long, long time.

Cardless since 2005 :: Think

PS:: Do you like my new card tree? I think it is technically for ornament hanging but I used some IKEA curtain clips to hang my cards on it. Tried to make the photo look artistic and hide my still unpainted trim and front door....not sure it worked.

Hello ladies::

Sorry it took me so long to check the comments. I got this at Wisteria. It's a great catalog of unique stuff. I admit that I got mine at their outlet. :)
