Ringing in the new year

Christmas at our house is all about celebrating with family.  But when it comes to the new year, friends become the center of the holiday.  Each year we look forward to going out to dinner with a large group of friends at a favorite local restaurant.  That is followed by a late night party and another one the next day, so it is really a two day New Year's celebration.  One year I even overheard one of our friends claim that it is the best 48 hours of the year!  Happy New Year to all our friends and family!

As I'm hoping for an early spring in the middle of an ice storm, creating these cards cheered me considerably. On my more than occasional trips to the craft store, I love to rummage through the bargain racks, and in so doing recently, I came across these cheerful butterflies. So at an affordable price, these cards are now offered in my Etsy shop. I must admit, I made several for myself as well. With just the word "Celebrate" stamped on the front, they should be useful for any happy occasion and great to have on hand. Happy end of February to everyone!
