How lovely they are looking, I like that your putting a touch of sewing on each one, that isn't your favorite thing I know. These look beautiful and the receivers of them will be thrilled. <br />By the way have you mentioned how you mail them? I mean do they go straight into the mail like this or do you make an envelope or something? I can't remember if you mentioned it already? <br />Good luck with the rest of them, that is a lot of card making! dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-58749048529101799112013-11-22T21:02:29.175-06:002013-11-22T21:02:29.175-06:00I can't remember if you already told us, but a...I can't remember if you already told us, but are you going to bind these into a book? I was thinking you were going to sew them together somehow. What a huge project. I had to chuckle because my projects always seem to get away from me and grow and grow, too.

I have a bunch of things that I really want to put on etsy but I know it's going to take so much time to set up for good photos and the lot that I'm just going to have to wait until after Thanksgiving. I'm hosting this year and have too much on my plate for the next 2 weeks to devote time to that. <br />Good luck with the projects!!Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473540669635905535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-61354281866441004432013-11-22T13:29:21.188-06:002013-11-22T13:29:21.188-06:00Wow ... yeah a lot of work.

Sewing different elements onto paper or cardstock is difficult - especially when you're doing it from the backside. Wow...that is a huge challenge!<br /><br />I like how all the different elements come together so nicely on the pages you're making!Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-2456441026273297742013-11-22T06:13:51.656-06:002013-11-22T06:13:51.656-06:00Ambitious!!

It is good that you are making them for people you KNOW will appreciate them. That is why I quit knitting for any and everybody. There are only a select few that truly understand the undertaking of making something by hand. <br /><br />Editing photos for a blog does take up a massive amount of time, however, in the end it is really worth it. I will admit, I love one good photo as opposed to 12 half ass ones.
