I don't buy them anymore! Started last Christmas. I would rather spend the money (postage) on a 30 min. phone call to all friends and family around the world. Deb

For my friends and family in the Uk, I buy cards with Kiwi scenes on, such as Santa in shorts and a BBQ, just to rub it in that its summer here!

I always buy charity christmas cards.....the thought of boosting profits for depatment stores or card shops is something that i am totaly against, i usually go for the traditional christmas and religious scenes.

I make my own too, made 40 so far. Ann Glos

I make all my own... And as it happens, I have just done a collection of the old fashioned ones... I am very pleased with them.. And so are the people who have seen them. I do agree personalised cards are so much nicer! Maz x

Just looked at the site -looks interesting-I`m going to Craft Fair in Glasgow next week -hope to but some new cards as I just keep the patterns year after year and change the colours. Rosalyn

Thanks Phantom my daughter likes doing Cross stitch..

I have a patten for a blackwork back stitch snowflake card, relativly simple to do, looks lovely in blue and pink mettalic thread. It's a free chart available at www*cross-stiching*com change * for dots

It must be nice if you can sew i am really hopeless i would sooner clean!.

I too buy charity ones but am about to start my cross stitch ones if I can turn this computer off! Rosalyn

I either buy one I like in January when they are cheap or I make my own, curretly making cross stich cards for family and friends.

What sort do you buy? Charity ones? i like ones with old fashioned angels on and family Victorian Scenes. Also animal ones too.
