This years design was a hard one to come up with. I have to say that I went to my archives to play with some vintage Loren drawings and designs. There has been one drawing that I have been eyeing for years and I knew it would make the cut one year in the near future.
I have been having a hard time lately, with loosing my Gram this past August as well as, struggling with a bad knee, feet and back. This past Friday evening, I was ER bound with a swollen leg and knee. The paramedics swooped in to rush me to the hospital. The thinking was that I may have had a blood clot, and tests were run. Thank goodness no clots in my leg! I do, however have some serious issues with my swollen knee and foot, possibly from standing 10 1/2 hours waiting for and seeing Bruce Springsteen in concert here in Philly. UGGHH!!! I' have been having to rest my leg and put ice on it. This is a hard one for me because I like to keep moving.
Well, anyway...I was again as I do every year, uncertain whether I would make the Christmas card happen and more than that, would it be better than last year's card. Well, I don't know if it's better this year, but it is definitely different, especially for me. The design is pretty, elegant and in some ways minimal. Oh, I wish I could show it now! But you have to wait until they are in the Loren's MIND GIGGLES blog mail, too. I will, however, tell you that it's design is an ivory and a wine color palette. When I reveal this year's design, I will tell the tale of how it was created and how the design was finally chosen. I will try to talk about the thought process that I go through to create my design each year. So, for now, please hang on for 2 days until I can reveal the 2012 Annual Family and Friends Christmas Card Design.
Cheers,
Loren
