This years card has been completed and will soon be arriving in mailboxes and on my social media outlets. This card created a few challenges for me. One was finding away to represent the grandchildren. As they are all growing older it is hard to find something that represents them. In thinking about creating the card the idea came to me of the post office and all the work those people do during the Holiday Season. Now, during the pandemic health issue we have become more dependent upon their delivery. Packages arriving and packages then being sent on to others. Delivery to the door. Never being able to actual let them know how much we appreciate them.
Other services are also providing us with holiday orders and deliveries. Again we cannot thank them enough for the work they do and the service they provide.
If your home is like ours you are collecting cardboard boxes. I try to recycle as many of these boxes as possible, When I was teaching we would use this material for the under structures and armatures of Papier Mache sculptures. I save them now for storage, painting spray booths, work bench coverings and for some interesting creative projects. Trying to extend their use as much as possible.
Today's flash back card shows the five grandchildren. The fifth arrived to join the others earlier in the year and a few months later the sixth arrived. This card doesn't include number six yet but recognizes how her cousins felt about her arrival. It was fun year to draw a card with a lot of family meaning.

| Christmas Welcome |
Well while the card above shows a family welcome the card below is to thank all those who are trudging through all kinds of weather and challenging conditions to get our holiday gifts and thoughts to the right places at the right times.
Celebrate Winter with a Thank You to others.
