Countdown to Christmas - 91 Days

I heard from someone who sends Halloween cards, and, coincidentally, it happens to be Vanessa's sister-in-law, Patience Polk-Channing, who creates her own designs from glitter, silk and pumpkin seeds.  She sent me a sample and now I, too, feel a burning desire to make Halloween cards. Maybe I'll do that right after I get my three flu shots next week - they say you're going to need multiple doses this winter to fight all the negative energy, I mean viruses, swirling around. Isn't it interesting that the flu is so prevalent at holiday time? Patience wrote "Happy Haunting" in this beautiful script. She said a 12-week course in Calligraphy has made all the difference.  Last week, she mailed these cards to her nieces with two $20 bills inside so they could buy any tiaras, scepters, crowns, tulle, etc., they might need to complete their costumes. Vanessa is so lucky to have such a thoughtful and crafty in-law. I don't think that Vanessa got the crafter gene.
