The most wonderful time of the year
Wow. 2011 has flown by. We can't believe we are 1 day away from December! After a week of stuffing our faces in our respective Turkey Day locations (Jen was in snowy Denver, while I was in sunny Orlando --You can't get more opposite than that.) we are back on track and getting ready for the upcoming holidays. To kick off the holiday mailing season, we just added our new Christmas and Hanukkah paper goods to our etsy shop. Each card is hand-fed into our trusty C&P letterpress and, of course, have our customary Farewell "flare".

The January Blues
January. The rock bottom of winter months. November and December are full of food, festivities and fun and then you hit January. Wham. All of the sudden you realize you're back to cold cut turkey for your sandwiches, and top 100 hits on the radio.
This January has been especially weary for those of us living in the south. The winter storm that hit last week paralyzed Atlanta for nearly 6 days.
Yeah, that's me skating across Peachtree Street.
Jen must have had ESP because the day before the storm hit, I received a package of the custom holiday cards we had been working on. We were asked this year to create new custom holiday cards on top of the retail cards we had online and in Urban Cottage,Atlanta. We, of course, were excited and pleased with the outcome of these cards.
It was a nice surprise to get the cards when I did. The snow coupled with the unexpected mail made it feel like a mini Christmas all over again. Perhaps January isn't so bad. It's the month of last year's reflections and possibilities of this coming year. Who knows what 2011 will bring this year, but we hope it's a good as last year was to us.

And me breaking my "sled" on the really hard snow.
It's funny how a few inches of snow and too many hours on the couch can get me thinking about the holidays again. Maybe it's the nostalgia of growing up in the north or the fact that the holiday hustle and bustle is over, but as the tiny flakes slowly covered Atlanta, I found myself wishing our Christmas tree was still standing and our neighbors hadn't taken down their lights.

One card was for Jen's sister. Her super cute nephew was featured on it.
The other card was for my best friend's sister. Her three little boys are unbelievably adorable!
