Jack the Ripper Strikes Down a Hapless Gingerbread Harlot

I posted this photo on my blog about a year or so ago, but nobody seems to go to my blog (which is at: tigertailart.com/blog/index.php ) I figured these would be dandy for my first flickr share., but do come by my blog sometime if you are so inclined (plug plug).

After decorating the gingerbread cookies in the previous picture, I and my friend were exhausted. Sometime around 4 am one of the cookies broke and I came up with this sick and twisted little idea of making it look like Jack the Ripper killed it. Artistically I was quite pleased, (although it sort of reminds me more of the Monty Python salad days sketch than Jack the Ripper) I may have to make it my Christmas card some year.


It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Day 356 of 365 (Year Two)

They've been arriving almost every day for the past few weeks. This is only a small sampling of the cards we've gotten. We were bad this year and the few we sent out didn't make it to the mailbox until today. I've never been real big on sending out or giving cards. Personally, I like getting them and they are pretty, but after I've read them I never know what to do with them. How long are you supposed to keep them? Kathy keeps hers and the family cards in a box. I just don't get that. Unless something special is written in them I just don't get the point of keeping them. Sure we pull out the photos that our friends send and they go up on the fridge for the year until we get updated shots, but the card itself?

I know Christmas cards are a bit different and we usually tape them up along the skirtboard of the stairs and keep them there until New Years, but then I just toss 'em, or at least the ones that Kathy doesn't get to and box up.

I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea here. I do appreciate the holiday cheer and well wishing, I just don't see the need to keep them forever.
