Joe, Olie, Teddy, Sweet Pea and I would like to send our joyful thanks

for the wonderful cards that are coming in. Joe (DH) actually

created a way to put a string up in our living room/den so we can

hang and look at them every day.

Wanted to let everyone know, since Olie, Teddy, and Sweet Pea are very

similar in appearance (to those who don't know them personally)

that the picture included in our cards have them in this order.

Olie is on your far right, Teddy's next, and then Sweet Pea is

on your far left. Oh, and that middle-aged lady in the middle

happens to be me. Hope everyone enjoys our cards as much as

we are enjoying yours.

Tara, Middle Aged Mom of Olie, Teddy, and Sweet Pea.

I love the cairn cards too...I look forward for the cairn cards more than the Christmas cards from family and friends lol But.....I think my mail man ripped the one of krammer

I post my on the back of my door.

I keep forgetting to pick up my mail at the post office. I know when I go this afternoon, there is going to be lots of cairn cards! at least I hope!

I have 3 so far, but I haven't checked the mail in a couple of days! I've been hanging them up on the inside of our front door, and I love it!

We are putting our Cairn Cards on the bi-fold door of our kitchen food cupboard. That's a good spot for everyone who visits to see all the great cards we get from our Cairn friends. As for the other cards we get, I guess we'll just throw them in a basket or something! As you can tell, we have our priorities right!!

I am putting mine on my tree this year..I have 4 so far and cant wait to get more!

I am loving them all. It'll be a while till I get mine out, though! Molly, your artwork this year is precious, as always! I love it!

I just mailed ours out today, we have 4 so far and they are great!

I ordered mine but they haven't came in yet...I hope they come in this week...we got 4 today and they were all adorable

It is getting exciting to wait for the mailman-never gave it a whole lot of thought till I started getting cairn cards-I find myself peering out the window along side of Misty and Toby also waiting for the mailman! I get as excited as them...thank God Im not to the barking point yet. or making nose slat marks on my windows!

Thanks everyone! We have really enjoyed all your cards this year! It just brightens my day to see another scruffy faced cairn in the mail! What a treat!

I checked the mail today and there were 8 cards waiting! I want people to come over to the apartment just so people can see the door of fame!

I just got an e-mail that mine are ready so I'll pick them up tonite and mail them tomorrow. Mine are all up on the fireplace mantle...

were getting some really neat ones -the homemade ones are great! thanks all!

I was putting mine on the refrigerator, like years past, may have to get a bigger refrigerator. Really enjoy the cards

We had our wonderful cairn cards on the mantel, however we are heading south shortly, so I had to pull them down. I don't want to leave them behind! My brother-in-law also has a cairn, and I know he and his wife are going to enjoy seeing them. We will hang them when we get to Florida, for all our other friends to enjoy as well.

We're having a great time with the cards too. Everytime the girls get a new card in the mail - hubby opens it and takes it directly to the dogs to show them their friends... it's amazing how you can see some of your own dogs faces in other dogs - almost like some of them are related!

These cards are all so beautiful! Molly, you have quite a talent!

so ummm my Christmas cards were apparently sent to Honolulu, HI thanks to shutterfly.... they said they are sending me another shipment hopefully they wont screw that one up too.. so if you get mine late you know why ..my dh thinks this is funny...I am soo pissed

I am collecting them on my fridge and will display them all proudly. I will take a pic and post as Christmas nears.

I feel like the outsider because our cards have my DH and me on it, along with Sparky. We didn't think about doing two separate cards, so we just got extra ones of the cards we're sending to family and friends. Next year we'll have to do one with just Sparky. He does look majestic in our picture, though, if I do say so myself....

I have been working on my cards everynight this week. I promise, I haven't forgotten. I love all the cards that I received so far! I still have mine from last year and the year before. I now have quite a collection of carin cards.

My Dad made the comment, "It is sad when the dog has more friends than the humans." LOL! Cairn cards are way better than store bought cards anyway!

I love getting these cards. They are great. I'm averaging about one a day. They are all unique and special in their own way.

Shanna, don't worry about being in the pic. Sparky is very handsome! I can tell he is very loved. Ya'll are a cute happy little family.

And Molly...oh my! Your art amazes me. I LOVE the colors in the picture. They are awesome.

Hopefully you guys should be getting ours in the next few days. We sent them out about 2 or 3 days ago.

Take care everyone!

I am happy to report that I got my cards out on Wed. In the end I was able to use a collection of canned photos I had already taken...sort of a 2008 year in review! I just never have the time anymore to attempt a photo shoot with the boys.... It's so much work! which makes what Liz does with Seven dogs that more amazing!!

What a lovely photo with your card Tara. Your 3 dogs are adorable and I'm so envious that you have the time, energy and space for them all. I love their colour - are they jet black like a Soctty?
