What an incredible week I’ve had! I started by telling you how I’m NOT someone who forces others to celebrate his birthday. I’ve never announced my birthday week – until this past week. And you popped in over and over and over to wish me a wonderful birthday, and I appreciate it more than you can ever know. Unless you all show up in droves today to leave comments, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have 400 comments on Monday’s Blog Candy post, but that’s OK by me. I’ll still talk to you after it’s over. I’m still in awe of the almost 300 comments I received. That makes me very happy.
I’ve got three quick and easy cards that feature the modern Christmas tree from Scentsational Season. Like my post from Thursday, these are quick and simple cards that you can throw together quickly to complete your Christmas card list. I hope you enjoy:

If not ,you should….and thank you for thinning out the entries in that one…it took so long to get to the end of the line….it was like being at Walmart this week ….!!!!!
