First, I want to thank everyone for their helpful ideals on the Christmas light card. There were so many great suggestions, that it’s going to be hard to pick a winner. Some of the ideas, while great, weren’t really workable with the supplies I have on hand. For example, several people suggested using smaller lights. Unfortunately, I used a Sizzix …
