Billie,This is just lovely.. and informative - I never knew the facts of history of greeting cards for Christmas. I linked it to the last DollyHumor which will go out tomorrow (if we have power). You find (or do you make them ?) the neatest graphics

we're snowed in in Northern Ohio too phancy.. thigh high fallen in driveway when I took out O at 5 AM. and it is still coming down. windy & very cold. Many areas have lost their power..we so far are lucky. There are a long of huge evergreen limbs fallen in yard. weight of snow & ice atop & more snow... The airport for now is inoperable...flights all canceled or delayed.

no biking today I guess. lol nor cross country skiing, as the van is buried in driveway

I know a big part of country is under bad weather.. makes traveling so treacherous. for those needing to go someplace or waiting for their loved ones.

Franklin and Delaware county (where I work and live respectively) were under level 3 emergencies when I woke up. My boss called and said not to bother coming in! So it's a delightfully unexpected 4-day-weekend!
My mom lives about 10 miles south of me, and she has no power. THANK GOD we didn't lose ours.
A friend of mine is shoveling for me since I have such a bad back and the ice is too heavy. Plus, it's a big driveway...
I feel so bad for the people I see on the news who are trying to get a flight home for Christmas. If we were allowed to drive in our city, I would love to go down to the airport and try to help them out. My grandparents are the kind of people who would always take in strangers for Christmas who had no where to go and make them feel welcome. I want to be like them!

Hi, Dolly - thank you. :) Actually, I make all my text 'headings' and 'do something to' most of the graphics I use (IN THE OPENING POSTS - not always or even usually in the comments) - even if it's just adding a drop shadow or changing a color or cutting someting out or pasting something in. Thanks for saying something about them.
