We have about seventeen weeks to go until Christmas. But I had so much fun creating this years card, "Santa and His Elves", that I felt it was time for its release. The idea behind the card began while researching my father's family tree and seeing our tartans. I wanted the horses and blankets to represent the countries of my ancestors: The Shetland Pony from Scotland, The Connemara from Ireland, The Welsh Pony from Wales and The Shire from England. The Shire in my eyes made a perfect Santa and his blanket reminds me of both Santa's robe and the uniform of the Queen's Palace Horse Guard. Enjoy! This card is now available for purchase through my online store, Firefly. http://www.cafepress.com/colleen_lodge
