Holiday Prep and Survival

A Story About Creative Inspiration

As we head into the busy holiday season, I wanted to share a heartwarming story that changed how I approach Christmas cards.

It all started with a beautifully crafted, handmade Christmas card created by my friend’s young daughters back in 2015. The card was unlike any other I received, and it inspired me.

The little artists used rubber stamps to recreate the timeless journey of the Three Wise Men. The level of care they put into every stamp was impressive. The result was a card filled with love, creativity, and a genuine sense of the holiday spirit.

That card awakened something inside me and I realized that the process of crafting cards helps me to slow down and savor the magic of the holiday season. 

It’s now become my favorite tradition and I’m grateful to those two little artists for the inspiration.

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful holiday season filled with love, laughter, and creativity!
