You can always buy some pretty labels and chose a nice font to type out the

addresses and print them. I always design my envelopes with glitter and heat

dry the glue /glitter on the stamps, etc....not this year. I'm sure you'll

come up with something special

I don't do near as many as you but if you start doing the envelopes now just a

couple a night and then closer to  holidays do the letter and personal notes a

few at a time maybe that would help.  You could also do labels on the computer

(if you have kids or grandkids  let them stick them for you)  and explain in

your newsletter that you would really like to hand do them but that your hands

will now allow you to do them any long and then just do the personal note by

hand.  I'm sure just hearing from you is the important thing and not how they

are done.  linda

i always have done a Christmas letter with a personal note myself........too

hard anymore also,   Last year I put the mailing list on the computer and do all

the labels on the computer and try to do just a few handwritten notes as my

hands allow...................a little at a time is all we can do...............

Kami,

I'll be sure to make you the biggest and the brightest!!!! Actually if you

use the hot gun thingy it does not go all over the place because it sets

it...but it is a lot of work and I don't do it for every card. I don't think

I'm

going to do it this year. We'll see. I'm happy with red and green

calligraphy pens, with a gold pen for underlining. As long as I have a live

tree and

can put my white peaceful lights on it, I'm happy. My mother lives with me,

and she is 85. She enjoys the tree. As long as nothing blinks at me, I'm

fine! I used to put a gold ex pen around my tree to prevent my dogs tail from

hitting the tree, but last year she was so good, I think the lights calm her as

well, I decided to go without! and it survived...the tree and dog. I also

have 3 cats, and they are never a problem. I swear its the white lights. I

should keep them up all year long!!! I do have pine needles in May though,

and until I get sick of that, I will keep getting a live tree. Last year was

the first time in a long time I got the tree myself, it was ...different,

painful in many ways.....but...i did it.

Last year was the first year I did not do cards...... I am not sure if I will do

them this year. It depends if I can get into the " spirit " or not. Last year we

actually put up a palm tree instead of a Christmass tree! My RA hit hard and

fast last year around Christmas and we scaled back ALOT and you know what? I

enjoyed it more......

You could scan a signature you may already have assuming you have a

scanner with your computer, and add it to the letter. If not, there

are companies that make up signature rubber stamps. You could

personalize it with a holiday greeting and your signature and it's

very inexpensive. Here's an example:

Take care.

Oh, Leanne - this inquiry is right up my alley!! For the past two

years now I have been using labels. Address labels, return address

labels, signature labels and last year I even made labels to go on the

back of my daughter's school pictures that were sent out to family and

friends. Address and Signature labels can be the same size. Return

address and picture labels are also the same size. I use Avery 8167

and Avery 5260. On the signature labels, I used color, fancy font and

added our own wishes that I would have normally typed out. It works

wonders!!! Hope this helps.........Doreen

I have the names and addresses in a data base, and print them out onto

labels, which I then stick on the cards. It really does make it easier

than hand addressing each card. I do sign the cards.
