A Christmas Card - or two, or ......

I made my first "home made" Christmas card in 1970 - a very limited edition of linoleum block prints - mostly for the members of the Centennial Committee. The next year, the design was more fun, real copying machines were coming into use and we sent three or four dozen "originals." Every year, the list has grown.

I've missed only one year: I don't remember when that was, but I know that I got alot of complaints because I sent everyone a "store bought" greeting!

I havn't really kept a collection, so to speak, and I probably don't even remember half of them. These, however, live in my computer.

Because of everything that's been going on, this winter, I have not gotten around to doing a new card - nor have I even come up with an interesting design! So - all I can say is: "Merry Christmas!

and

Enjoy!
