Joyeux Noel

Hello and

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Sorry I'm running a bit late on my Christmas card post

but I promise it was worth the wait.

I think this is one of my most detailed and

beautiful cards I ever made for Christmas. 

"Joyeux Noel"

 As some of you know I love everything Louisiana,

which is my husbands home state,

and I wanted to reflect a bit of our Louisiana culture in our Christmas card this year.

 Delicate Spellbinders dies remind me a lot of the beautiful iron lacework in the French Quarter.

 Creole is still spoken in the south and it is on my bucket list to learn

 at least a few simple sentences.

 No Christmas without a Poinsettia.

How did I do?

Wishing everyone near and far

a wonderful

Merry Christmas, 

Joyeux Noel, 

Frohe Weihnachten!

 May your home be filled with joy, peace and love!

To everyone deployed 

thank you for your sacrifice,

and a safe return home!
