I've got Christmas cards on my mind today,
for this week's Sunday Sketches.
How about you, are yours ready to mail out the 1st of December, or are you more like me, waiting until the very last minute...?
Sophia is our wonderful, creative host over at
The Blue Chair Diary,
a wonderful blog - you must go and visit!
See you there!

Morning! I like this a lot. The Santa is very jolly and your girls are so cute. Can't wait to see it with your magic watercolor touch. Mine are sketched and painted. Just need to load up for printing.
Have a happy Sunday! *HUGS*
Lovely sketches, and such an inspiring thought as your recipients must be seriously spoilt no matter when they receive the cards with such effort put into them.
Thanks so much for sharing such great work.

Yes a Santa drawing! I am glad you are already ready for the festivities ahead of us. Great sketch!
This willl make such a lovely card. Your snowmen in the sidebar are absolutely adorable by the way!!
Well, I usually start the cards well, write about 6, get bored then leave the rest until the last minute! I designed my own this year too and had them printed which was very exciting.
My son has written most of his - I thought we definitely needed to start early there but he was actually quite good about it!
Good Morning Heather, I have been MIA for a few days, getting trees out. I love this sketch! The Santa's eyes just twinkle - wonderful work.
He's a very retro Santa - love that!
I never mail out cards - well I have good intentions every year and /i sometime start writing or addressing but they haven't actually gone out for years.
It looks like it will be a lovely card to receive!!
Lovely design! Haha, I'm much more like you - a few days before Christmas is when I remember that I need to send things out! lol
I love this, it is so cute! That is so cool that you illustrate your Christmas card every year! I am definitely like you, waiting until the last minute :) Have a great Sunday! ~Lauren
Hi Heather - Tam is doing a new course in January. It's painting mythical creatures like unicorns, mermaids, fairies. I think I might sign up for it. It's £42. I figure it's the price of a couple of nights out, so I'm happy with that for all the eduction you get, plus the value of being in a group of like-minded individuals.
your little angels are so cute...and so fitting that they are the inspiration for this year's Christmas card. With those smiles, I'm assuming they aren't on the naughty list this year ;-)
Beautiful card. I am sure the person recieving it would be delighted :)
These card ideas are great!
Hi Heather, I haven't started on design my card this year (oops)
Wonderful and festive Santa drawings! Personal, artist done cards are the best!
Love Santa! Great Sketch! I collect Santa's and display them every Christmas for my grandkids to enjoy! As to Christmas cards, my all over the board from Dec 1 to the 23rd to not at all! :)
oh what a fantastic sketch!!!you are so talented!!!so glad to find you!
This is so cute! Your girls and Santa look so cheerful that it makes my heart smile.
I have not even thought about Christmas cards.... But I do want to draw a Santa and an Angel too. I am thinking sooner than later would be a good idea :-}
Oh gosh...thanks for the reminder!! I bought cards but have yet to write them up! :)
I LOVE your idea of Santa with your adorable little girls. :D Hee
Wow - what lucky recipients of your illustrated cards!
(I'm a last minute kind of gal too!)
I love your note from Santa... adorable.
Those Thanksgiving centerpieces were amazing... I bet your table looked beautiful!
