Christmas Cards & Displaying Them

We have a built in bookcase so I draped it with garland and ribbon and are hanging all the cards off of them. Please note we only have two caroling or singing Xmas sheepies & 4 stockings. I have to go buy this weekend one more singing sheepie and 2 more stockings since last Xmas we only had 1 sheepie and now there are 3 of them. 8O

That is lovely Wynette - I have all mine around a large mirror over my fireplace - they look fab !!
Looks wonderful :D I have put up my 3rd wire hanger, we are getting crowded, don't ya just love it. :lol:
Looks GREAT!!!!!!!!
Very nice, Wynette! :D

I'm envious of those bookshelves!!! :mrgreen:
Your bookcase does look lovely! I have yet to put my cards up (or tree) but this weekend - watchout - I'm going to get in decorating mode! Thanks for sharing your picture Wynette - I was wondering if anyone had received my card - and sure enough - there was Cooper looking right at me on your bookshelf!
That looks so beautiful!! You've captured the Christmas sprit at your house!

Marianne and the boys
I want to see pictures of everyone else's displays.

Your dogs are all so cute. I love seeing the pictures. Even though they are the same breed their individual personalities and looks are so adorable.
I'm running out of room around my Kitchen.

What a PERFECT pass through for displaying cards!!!
Here's what I did:

Since I still don't trust Bentley with a tree, it's a perfect alternative!
Everybody had such creative ideas! I love seeing them!!!
Jil, I LOVE the tree!
Scruffy's Mom and Wynette looks Great!
I just uploaded a picture of mine I will post it here once it's approved. :)
Jil, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody else try to locate their card in everyone's pic? :lol:

I love the tree floofdog!
Some idiot covered the back of my perfectly good wood cabinets with ugly paneling. So I am trying to cover it up as much as possible. :lol:

Everyone's displays are so creative. We have this long felt santa that we put our cards on...ever since we started with the sheepie lists and cards the santa is way too small :cry: Usually one of my kids comes up with the way to display the cards. Isabel (age 10)stuck as many of the cards to the santa and then we hung that up on the glass door to the dining room and the rest of the cards she is taping to the door itself. Avalon goes by and 'tastes' the cards...this silly girl licks everything!
Jil,

Where did you find your card tree? I would love to have one.
Here's my lot, filled up one.

Image

Now just hung a second tinsel wire above to start filling up Woo Hoo. :D

CAN I MOVE IN LISAOES? 8O


please? Your house looks nice!

It looks like you don't own any OES things. ;)
OK so I had all of my cards displayed on long wide red ribbon in my home office and although it seemed like a good idea, I wasn't able to see them all as well as I wanted to, so I pulled it all down and I am re-thinking my options.
What great cards, everybody. Thanks again so much.
Lisa - I just love all that brick in your house. How beautiful!! :D

Jil's card tree rocks! :wink:
LISA- OMG!!!!!!!! What BEAUTIFUL HOME!!!!!!!!!1 I just LOVE brick!!!!
BACK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I claimed her first! :evil:


:lol:
Maybe I could just COME VISIT 8)
Yep! Lets all head down to Oz and visit Lisa! Love the displays guys. It's fun seeing inside everyone's homes :)
Floofdog where id you get that tree? I love it!
Jil, where did you get that card tree? I love it. We all need one!

Well...... I blame it on my terrible typing but the truth lies between my terrible spelling and the fact that my brain usually moves much faster than my fingers. Aren't you glad I didn't chose a career as a SECRETARY!!!! However in this case I do know that mailboc is REALLY mailbox...

Just call me hooked on PHONEX :D :D :D :D
LOL Ginny! I was so sad on Saturday too since I didn't get any cards either. Not even non-sheepie cards.

But after finally getting the four Christmas trees done in the house I am glad to say I finally displayed the cards and they look adorable. I will submit my picture later.
i mailed my cards out yesterday, they took me 3 weekends to finish because all the technical difficulties i had. i had to replace 4/5 of the ink cartridges and i got the wrong color for one of them (why is there a magenta and a 'photo magenta' ?!)... so my apologies to those of you whos cards are slightly discolored :oops:
I'm sure they are adorable, Heather! I can't wait to get it!
Im going thru withdrawls too....I have not gotten a card in 3 days.....come on people...im addicted, I NEED MORE!
Me too! According to my count, if I get cards from all 59 people on the list, I'm still short about 25 cards!!!
Yes that is about right for me too Chris. And I noticed that Ron has still not parted with all of his cards because I have not received mine from him yet. :D
I mailed mine on Friday, so some of you should get them today, I'd think. :D

I got some very cute ones on Saturday, too. But not Ron's. :lmt: 8)
I GOT FIVE CARDS TODAY :excited:

but no card from Ron :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Ron has not quite finished all of his cards yet, and wants to send them all out together (except for the international, which should have all arrived by now.)
Just wanted to make sure you had not forgotten MEEEEEEEEEEE 8)
Hey Ginny....I got mine from Ron....na na na na... :twisted:

He loves me bestest! :banana:
I didn't get any today :(

Excited to get Ron's. Still haven't got his, but look for it daily! I got 5 on Sat.

My mom sent a priority box that was over $60 in shipping, and we still haven't gotten it. Was sent out last monday. I sent her a priority box, Thurs... and she already got it. Starting to get scared! She should learn to get insurance! 8O

Here is Harry in our kitchen with our Christmas card display. I smile everytime I see all the beautiful sheepies.

Image
I love yours SheepieMommy. The location is perfect, imo. Cute pic too :)
Awww that's looks wonderful, what a great place to display your cards. :D
That looks very nice Judi!! Harry is a great model, too. :D

I've got to take a picture of mine, too. It's getting full!! :D :cheer:
It's a miracle!!!


Ron finished his cards, and Ron will be bringing them to the Post Office in the morning!!!

Sorry for the delay!
Don't feel bad Ron.
I too just finished mine today. :)
I'm still enjoying all the cards coming in! It's going to be sad when this ends, but I look forward to doing it again next year!!
Thanks for all the cards! They are GREAT!!!

Pam (mouthypf)
Heres mine!!! thank you all for the lovely cards... :)

Image
Wow yours looks wonderful too, Love your sheepie statues as well. :wink:
8) Kim your card display tooks gggrreeaattttttttt! Love your sheepie collection! 8)
what a cute display!!
Very CUTE!!

I've been resisting the urge to post a picture till all the cards are here, there are definately more than last year and this has really be alot of fun.

I'm still trying to think of a use for the cards (I have last years still). I think I would like to make a set of Christmas placemats; cut the cards and mount them on postarboard cut to the appropriate size then have them laminates.

These cards are entirely too creative to just throw away!!!
Your cards in my home. :D I have so enjoyed this exchange!! :D

Image
Tammy we did the same decorating with our cards :D :D :D :D :D :D
That looks fabulous tammy. :D
OK so here are my cards, and my Christmas HAM
Image

And here's Zak, just as terrified as I am that that large gift from my brother might contain a giant stuffed sheepie.

8O

Image
lol, the pic of your sheepie looking at the gift is too funny.

I love how you hung up the cards too. Looks very nice, esp. since you have a sheepie underneath modeling the display!
They are all just LOVELY!

Poor Zak!!! My kids used to look at their gifts the same way, WHT'S IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Christmas ham" AHAHAHAHAH

Wouldn't you be more shocked if that package contained a real sheepdog? 8O
Marc that's funny! Love that picture of Zak staring at the gift. :lol: Let's open it early & see what's in it! :wink: :D
Well here goes, I have no idea why the picture is so dark. Should have taken another but you can get the idea, it isn't much different from last year except I put wrapping paper on the wall as a backdrop.
Image
Very nice, Ginny... and the pocket doors look great!
All the pics of your displays look great!! :)

Thanks Ron, Doug is quite proud of his pocket doors!! He invented his own little pully system to make them work. I'm sure you noticed the woodwork is not QUITE finished :roll: , maybe THIS will be the winter it gets done :D
That looks really good, Ginny. I like the doors, too. :wink:
VERY NICE Tasker's Mom :)
8) I would like to thank all of you for letting us in, to take a peek at how you displayed your wonderful sheepie christmas cards. All of you did such a great job. They made me smile :D everytime i checked on the progress of this thread.

I wanted to take a minute and let you know how much your efferts are appreciated.

Merry Sheepies Christmas to All! 8)
I can't wait to hang mine up next year. I have an idea, but already have mine up to do it this year.
Here is my sad Christmas tree. It looks so small. :lol: Next year Mr. J will be here, so we can buy a LARGE one.

Here are most of my OES cards. The rest are there on the ground. I couldn't find my tape, and was going BONKERS, so I gave up and said "I'm just taking a pic."

Image



My OES ornaments! I had 5 more that came in after I took this pic, so I'm upset I forgot to take a picture of it w/those on.

Image
Looks wonderful, love your OES ornaments. :D
I love the ornaments!!!
That's lovely, JO!! :D
ooooh, I LOVE your ornaments!!
Everyone's cards and card displays look sooo good!!! Thank you all for posting pictures! I can't wait until next year! I knew this would be a busy year, so I didn't want to commit to sending cards and then not get it done. But I have been so excited to see everyone else's (and soo jealous, too!). Next year, sign me up! :D
Just wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed seeing all of your creativity and decorations. It was a bright point of my holiday!
Guys, i am wanting to say THANK YOU again to all that have sent Christmas Cards. I finally made it to the postbox today and have opened all that have come. You won't believe we have 3 ft. of snow and that is NOT counting where it has been plowed up into mountains....... and tonight they say we are having another (round 3) storm in 5 more days.

Anyway, THANK YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU again. I honestly do appreciate and love looking at all the cards. i am SORRY but I just didn't get them done due to my bronchitis and the snowstorms, as i didn't get out. I'm feeling better but still feel like a mule has kicked me from the inside out.
