I am not a huge fan of holiday cards (for reasons that I won’t get into right now – although, I do have a GREAT story about Christmas cards/letters that we have been receiving from total strangers for the last 6 years. Maybe I’ll share it soon. It’s hilarious, I promise.). But all the other illustrators are doing it, so I did too. Because I’m a follower like that, ya know.
So, yeah, I designed one. I went so far as to almost order them. Then my efforts stalled.
Do I really want to spend the money on cards that I may or may not have the motivation to actually address and mail? My track record for making it to the post office in a timely manner is not so great (probably because the nearest post office is filled with surly aging postal workers and lunatics of varying degrees. That, and I’m lazy.)
I could always sell them in my Etsy shop. But, I’m going out of town in two days and my shop will be closed for over a week.
Hmm. I don’t know. This is what I get for bandwagon jumping.
Anyway, here’s the card…

Oh Ruth, I love this! Awesome idea. And I am in the same boat as you with getting cards out. Good luck!
P.S. I was thinking of you the other day while I was sitting in the dentist’s chair. Haha. Or maybe not so funny?
Thanks! I guarantee you’ll get your cards out before I do. Heh.
RE: the dentist, I’ll be back in his chair after the first of the year. Whoopee. (that’s the best feigned enthusiasm I could come up with)
Great idea – this will make lovely cards, even if it’s for next year!
Very cute and how clever you have in-cooperated Jewish and Christian symbols. Well done!
Wishing you the best for 2012! Make it a lovely year.
