Please don't anyone throw any metaphorical brickbats - what is a brickbat?? - if you have ever wanted to make your own Christmas cards, may I suggest you start thinking now! I have made my own for years and usually do one design a year, but they take time to plan as well as construct. It doesn’t save money, if you usually buy supermarket 500 for 50p, it does if you like to individualise - just a plain but single card seems to start at £1 these days. You can get ready folded A5 cards plus envelopes at lots of places (including some supermarkets and branches of The Range), stamps, inks, glitter, mulberry paper - keep it simple if you are churning out loads, or have fun going OTT if its one or two. I started with the children, and then carried on when they grew up! One special thing is to have your own stamp made up - it's not too expensive.
