It seems everyone is just a little nicer around Christmas time. I also love to send handmade Christmas cards. To avoid stress I start my cards between July and September. This way I am finished with the cards and ready to pop them in the mail by December 1st. This year is no exception and so I will be starting my Christmas Card Event Monday, September 1, 2025. Feel free to join in the event. You will be able to see pictures, videos, reels and posts via my Facebook Business page, YouTube, and my home base right here on <a href=\"http:\/\/thepapermotif.com\">http:\/\/thepapermotif.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because I am so excited I created this card I am sharing here on the website and to my email subscribers.
