A bit of a sparkly series will include this image. Again, stay tuned for the boxed set reveal in, I hope, a few days.

I continue to work on just how to shoot Poinsettia. I had fun with these.

Here’s one that would certainly be a bit different! In case you feel like being different.

Of course if you want something a bit more normal I have a selection of cards and postcards ready to order, or you can choose something else entirely that I have in my collection and I’m happy to print that up for you as well.
For card prices go here.

Other possibilities:
And don’t forget … boxed cards make lovely gifts. You can peruse my collections here, or create your own set.

I am just starting to work on Christmas cards and it occurred to me that some might like Christmas postcards rather than greeting cards with envelopes.
I put a postcard together just now, and I think it works quite well! I have both 5×7 and 4×6 postcards available. (As you can see from the image above I do have a number of possibilities already done, and I will be working on a more soon.)
The first printed image, Ornaments & Agave, is a fave of mine, as it’s a little different than the norm. I will have more traditional images as well, of course.
This is a quick iPhone shot of the actual card:

Here is a screen shot of the back of the postcard:

Do you have your Christmas or holiday cards yet?

These cards are not cheap nor are they cheaply made, but they are special! I carefully print them here after preparing the images. Colors are vibrant and, of course, you won’t find these at your local store so odds are no one will be sending out the same card.
I made this a year ago, on Christmas Eve. At the time I assumed someone would be well out of the picture by now. I was wrong.

There is a house near us that has a huge number of succulents in the front yard. I always enjoy walking by, but at this time of year it’s even more fun: the succulents are decorated with bells. I love it!

So it’s time for me to get out on my walk and see if I can find more decorated plants in the neighborhood. I love the succulents!
