Not all the same

I was talking with a fellow card marker and she asked me how many Christmas cards I make and if I was tired of making the same design.  I told her that I try to make around 40 cards, and we send out about 60.  Not everyone gets a handmade card - as I put in a post before they only go to the "card-worthy" people.  However, each one of the cards that I make is different since I can't stand mass production.  I get bored too easy.  She was shocked that I would do that.  She said that she would find it too difficult to decide which card to give each person if she did that.  That is what I find fun trying to make it individual.  I made two cards today the first one I used this weeks Colour Q swatch which are not typical Christmas colors and then I made one for Colour Create Challenge which uses pink as the main color.  Then for a little fun, I made a couple sympathy cards for Mom.
