Xmas Card Exchange -- Please Share Your Picture! UPDATED

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Listening to you all talk about starting to receive your Xmas cards always makes me so sad.  The reason that I never join the group is because the most stressful thing that I do all year is to try and get a descent picture for their Christmas Card.  I of course make it more difficult because I want there to be snow and I want my decorations up to try and use in the pictures.  I wait for the first snow, I take hundreds of pictures, and with each bad picture I stress a little more.  Always made more difficult because the snow will always come through the week, it is dark out by the time DH gets home, and I have to try and do these with two dogs by myself.  Finally, I decide that I've just run out of time and I have to use something that I have.  My girls aren't real cooperative when the camera comes out which makes it even more difficult.  Oh, and I forgot to mention I'm terrible with a camera.  So, I didn't get my pictures done in time to join a group, but I still wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and share Lucy & Sophies card!  I've included 2 cards.  The one with both of them we will be using for the Residents and staff at the Ohio Veteran's Home and the one of just Sophie we will be using for the Patients and Staff at the Mercy Hospital where just Sophie visits!  I also still have a few that I haven't gotten done yet that will be for our Foster families.

 

So, I'd love to see some others even though I didn't get my act together in time to join!  Will you share with me.UPDATE:  I'm updating to include the picture I finally finished today for the families of the Doodles we fostered this year, along with the girls picture with Santa today!  Thanks so much to everyone for posting your pictures I'm having a great time seeing them!

FYI - my brother in law has called me twice to point out that I should have noted that I'm not pictured and not the one dressed up as Santa. So no - I'm not Santa!

Very clever card.  Callie is always so photogenic.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Okay, I LOVE all the cards and am sad I am not participating this year :(  However, Peri wanted me to tell you all "Merry Christmas DOODS" (and Happy Holidays too...):

Here is my holiday exchange card for the DRC card exchange.  I am also sending to the foster families.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Love it! I really like the key that goes along with it.

[Dori & Rua]

I wasn't smart enough to save the card before I sent it in, so here is a picture I took of my card!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Oh my gosh. Rua, you are SO cute in that little coat!
