My forth day of cheer were: four adorable Christmas sweater postcards. These are just the right size to add to letters, or to use as labels to gifts, or at the Christmas dinner seating table.

To kick it right of: my second day of cheer was: a board game template! To make up your own board game. What a surprise! I actually love board games, and have designed some when I was a kid.
