It's almost December, which means that for most people it's time to start writing and sending Christmas cards…and let's admit it, it's the one time of year that we actually use the 'snail mail' system.
The hardest part about sending cards is typically not labelling the envelopes-although that takes a lot of time-but instead finding the cards themselves. People want to send greetings that are cute, sentimental, and of course reasonably priced, but it's hard to find that in your run of the mill department store. Most places sell packs of twenty for a minimum of $8.00, and unless you've found the bargain of the season, they're typically nothing special. No glitter, no sparkles and no pizzazz.
If you can relate to this, then I am glad to present the perfect solution:
Original water colour Christmas cards with a variety of pictures available to chose from, and the opportunity to write your own custom messages inside.
Glenn Farrell is a local Grimsby, Ontario artist with a passion for painting. Currently he has an interest in snowmen, capturing their character and whimsical charm with his brushstrokes. His cards are available through Fine Art America on his website.

Christmas and snow just seem to go together, but this year to some dissatisfaction, the snow decided simply not to fall. Oh well, even though it missed Christmas all together, we were overjoyed when it came the following day. Embracing the frosty air, we took short, brisk walks around the neighbourhood, built our first snowman and even caught a few flakes. Of course it's not cold enough for anything white to stay longer than a few hours so we are, again, back to sunshine and blue skies. I guess I should be thankful that we're not in the middle of a deep freeze, waking up every morning to shovel the driveway and complaining that it's too freezing to do anything! But still. Even though I'll probably be wishing for summer after a mere week of white, I wish it would cover our lawns...for even just a little while.
