1. I thought Christmas Eve was an appropriate time to upload this card. It as it was my Christmas card this year! I made about 45 of them.
2. I cannot take credit for this cute little Santa falling down the chimney as it was not my original idea. I saw the idea for this card at my SU Demo/Upline's (Carn) house! I just changed it up a little and wrote a poem to go inside.
3. The poem inside goes like this:
Twas the month before Christmas
The panic now here!
The economy is bad,
Folks are living in fear!
Money is short and postage is high,
I am not even sure that Santa will fly!
When into my head, there came such a thought!
Flat cards, that's it! Its my only Shot!
No ribbon, no boxes, no brads or big bows!
Only Santa inverted and showing his toes!
Happy I am to send you this card,
My plan put in place and it wasn't too hard!
Merry Christmas Everyone! Happy Holidays!
(Thank you Golly (Kay) for my Yikes stamp!)
