What with email (and the increase in postage), we don't get cards in the quantities we used to. (Surely we haven't run off our friends!) And my parents got LOTS of cards because my father's business associates and clients sent personal greetings. It might not have helped that I'm an only child and don't have siblings, nieces or nephews who send cards. But I always love getting photographs of families, their children, their pets. I even enjoy the much maligned Annual Newsletter. It's like anthropology from your mail box.
I enjoyed yesterday's mosaic so much, I went through my file cabinet and collected as many samples of past year's cards as I could find.
It's hardly a huge "oeuvre" but I'm proud of almost all of them... and like parents, one finds good things about even the MOST contrary children. Hallmark has nothing to fear from me.
Clicking on the captions below will take you to flicker where I've made comments on most of the images and where you can see the whole image... because I note that some heads have been cut off by Mosaic maker!!
