Christmas in July

I had so many great plans for today but the dryer died last night so after I went to the Passport office to renew our passports, I started to search for a new dryer.  Since the washer is the same age, I am buying a new one of those too.  I think I found what I want but I almost choked at the price.  It is going to cost over $2000 for the pair and I still have to add taxes, delivery and installation.  I remember when my husband and I got our first home in 1976, we paid that amount for a washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator and huge chest freezer and that included all the added charges.

Once I got back though, I did manage to quickly make a card for a few challenges.  Lots of blogs are asking for Christmas cards and I can't think of a better excuse to get another card done in advance.  Now I think I only have 45 left to do.  At this rate, a few people may not get a card this Christmas.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
