Hey. Happy Thanksgiving! This will be me later:


I had a few moments to spare...turkey is in the oven (earlier) and other stuff doesn't need to be made quite yet.
So, I came to my computer to look at my Christmas card. I've been messing with it for a couple of days.

Help!

I tend to overanalyze things. I've listed out a string of questions with the gallery posting.
What to you think...overall and about some of the specific questions? Thanks!

2008 Christmas Card

Left you some comments in the gallery. I think its just perfect. You have yourself a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks.

Food has been eaten, leftovers in the fridge, dishes are clean (not put away yet) and I'm downloading pictures to my computer. DH is semi-dozing with the news on.

Nice, relaxing day. All of the food prep was even easy-going. Way to much food for us. lol

Now, to look at my card one more time and try not to keep over analyzing it.

I swear, Char, you just make me laugh everytime you talk about the cards. Just print 'em and send 'em already. LOL.

I think I said something similar in the comment I left in the gallery.

And you're way ahead of me, my girls don't get home from college until the 11th, so I won't have a photo before then.

Here it is Dec 14th and I scrapped ( as in dumped, deleted, trashed) my entire card project and am starting over. You both are way ahead of me! LOL!

Amy, yikes. Was that on purpose? Didn't like what you had?

I never felt 100% about mine...but decided to move past it. I'll be mailing them all today.
One thing I didn't like with mine was the lighting in the picture. I realized later that I had forgotten to close the blinds in the window nearby. I've, previously, had nice lighting in the spot I used...but with the blinds open, it's too much light. There would have been plenty of light with them closed with a little less harsh shadows on our (my lol) faces. Oh well. I didn't feel like trying to gather the "gang" again for more pictures. lol

I 'm glad you decided to accept it the way it was. I think it looks great. Sometimes we are all our own worst critics.
Here's mine after reading your thread and getting on the ball. Our Christmas Card

I'm thinking the picture circles need to be larger. But maybe I'm fussing now over it too much!

The first one I tried to be overly creative with and Mark didn't like it - he didn't say that, but you know how husbands are when they don't really like something but also don't want to hurt our feelings? Well, I got one of those reactions so I started over.

Love it, Amy! Soft, wintery feel to it.
