So, using the handy dandy archives I see that last year our Christmas card was painted, printed and in the mail by December 4th.
Holy. Moly.
I did delay painting this card for a little bit until we felt pretty good about Renny being in the picture. In the interim we had a ton of snow (yippee! even though it does slow everything down quite a bit), got pretty good at caring for serious injuries, pretty good at a (thankfully) not as serious injury (it's kinda personal and Ewen doesn't want it discussed on the blog ;-), lost a good friend, burst the water pipes in the wool house, been fighting off a cold, can't get an electrician to come out to save our lives (and haven't even tried a plumber)...and here it is December 21st.
Without further ado...
Merry Christmas everyone!
I feel pretty confident everyone else has picked up more than one Christmas gift, has all their decorations up, baked cookies and gingerbread (I did buy my fresh ginger yesterday), mailed their cards, wrapped their gifts, written letters to Santa and mopped their kitchen floors.
Right?

This is the cutest, sweetest card I've ever seen. I just love it. Would love to have cards like this next year if you ever think of doing them for others. Wow! So sweet about Renny :)
WOW! In spite of all that's been happening at Equinox, you pulled this off! What a gift!
Wrong! I'm pretty far behind too.
We're down to prioritizing. Sew
size 3 Superhero cape - mandatory, cards - not so much.
And I don't have any of the good excuses you do.
Warm, woolly holiday wishes to all!
Oh noooo...not burst pipes in the wool house. Who forgot to turn on the heat?? Sorry! WE are also behind with no good excuses like you. Boxes sent...most. Cards done...yes. Cookies baked......yes. Decorations/tree up.....NO. Three - count 'em, three - back to back meals planned.....yes, house cleaned......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good thing this isn't a competition!

An adorable cleverly crafted card, Sara. I just love the sled in the air! What a feat to paint! A grand tribute to your talents as a shepherdess and artist.
Love the card, it is too cute and so happy about Renny" Was so sad and worried about her when you first got her. Her survival is a great gift!!
Yeah...right (you know I'm not even close)
You did a great job with this card Sara. I really love your style. Lots of snow huh?
Uh, yeah. Right. NOT!!!By the way, I knew which one was B. Willard before I even looked at the at the legend.

Nope, none of that is done. I think this year went faster than usual.
Love seeing Renny and Ewenice sledding together! Is that Miss Tilly in a wipeout? Ha ha. Can hardly wait to get mine!
Yeah, sure, right!
Not even In. My. DREAMS!
;-)
Great Card!
I can definately say I am extremely behind...*sighs* Tree up...yes...decorated...no...presents nearly finished...wrapped no LOL you get the idea...and we shell not even discuss house cleaning or baking LOL
Anyway...the card is lovely and I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Jennie :)
Such a great talent you have......awesome job!
I am quite certain I am not the only blog follower who gets a warm fuzzy feeling when I see, read, or think of Renny.
Merry Christmas! I love the card.
That is the coolest card yet..:-)
Beautiful, and I always like to ID them on the back.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to your blog, and have been following the story of Renny. I'm so glad she is doing so well under your tender care.
Love the card!
Love the card, on the web and in person! (Thanks :-)
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face :) Love the card. I love that Buddy is covering his eyes! I will probably be doing that when we go sledding on Saturday! Merry Christmas!
