It's about the time of year where I start to think about sending small gifts and cards to my friends living overseas, and that means trying to send everything before the Christmas-crazy-panic sets in around here. I made a watercolour + collage card last week, inspired by the leaves of a tree we have in our garden, then took them downtown to get professionally printed. We've no pines or mistletoe in the backyard here, nor snowflakes falling, but there are always plenty of green leaves and old pieces of crochet work for inspiration.
