I generally send out over 100 Christmas cards to friends and family members. It often takes up to three full days to create a newsletter, hand sign and list the addresses of the cards. This year since I was off to a late start and Christmas is just three weeks away I wanted to hit a big “EASY” button. So I made Easy Christmas Postcards.

I love to entertain outdoors. Here are a few ideas for Pretty Picnics for the Labor Day Weekend. Pretty Picnics for the Labor Day Weekend I love the idea of setting a sweet scene in a summer orchard.
