By real I meant commercially manufactured. There was something on the news recently about whether we should all wrap our presents in newspaper to save waste. A good idea, but a little bit sad...I've decided to go half way and do what my Nan used to do (and we all laughed at her for it) and try to save and reuse bits of wrapping paper by carefully opening my pressies! Should also have the added benefit of prolonging the excitement as I slowly pick away at the sellotape. Our new house is FREEZING so think my carbon footprint is going through the roof as we crank up the heating - so I have to think of other ways to be good. Handmade is better obviously!

Another factor to consider. Sarah says I get far more pleasure from making the cards than anyone gets from receiving them and I think she's right. I get very pleased with myself and laugh a lot.

Just to say that I love your card and only realised a little while afterwards that it wasn't a "real" one. I think it's a really nice idea making your own cards (although I have enough Christmas cards left over to last me next Christmas probably, so maybe I'll wait until 2011 to follow suit - and with much less success). Merry Christmas ! Lauren xx Hi Jemima

Since I recently outed myself as a reader of your blog I thought I might as well leave a comment. Just to say that I love your card and only realised a little while afterwards that it wasn’t a “real” one. I think it’s a really nice idea making your own cards (although I have enough Christmas cards left over to last me next Christmas probably, so maybe I’ll wait until 2011 to follow suit – and with much less success).

Merry Christmas !
