Sashi Made A Drawing: Halloween Cards

Halloween 2020

When I was still sending them, I hand made my Christmas cards almost every year since I was 18. They started out with designs cut out of construction paper and grew up into other non-traditional designs, like gingerbread men cut out of sandpaper or Christmas trees cut out of green scrubbies.  Once my card list got into the 50's, I started having them printed because yikes!  That was a lot of cards to make by hand.  The 2 years I didn't make them, I actually had people contact me to specifically tell me that they were disappointed to receive a "generic" card... even though one of them was of my wedding pic to my ex. LOL (The other time I sent out purchased cards was because I had been sick and just ran out of time.)

In one way, it felt good that my handmade or hand-drawn & printed cards were appreciated.  On the other hand, it really started to feel like a burden.  And now, Christmas cards seem to be going away and those that do send them seem to be doing so just out of obligation. I know I fit that description for quite a while!

So now, instead of sending out Christmas cards every year, I send out Halloween cards.  Last year was just the 3rd year that I've done that, but it feels so much more... right... to me.  ❤❤❤
