Whimsical Christmas Card



The weather down here has been nuts. It was cold enough after Thanksgiving to turn the heat on (dropped down to 50's) but is back up to the low 80's. Every few days I have to switch from heat to AC. Wish I could just leave my windows open like I used to do when I lived up north, but it is too damp down here and fighting mold is a real issue. Right before Thanksgiving, I had to wash down everything on my back porch with bleach. With those windows open, black mold was growing on the sides of furniture- anywhere it could find a surface to grow. Black mold is dangerous. Down here, they hire professionals for removing hazardous materials when black mold is found in houses.

This is the card I sent to my non-religious friends, especially the ones up north.

This is the card I did especially with you in mind- then I ran out because I did not order enough.

Be careful when coping with mold. My daughter developed an allergy to it
from being around it.

I am terribly allergic to it, so when I clean mold, I wear a mask. It makes me deathly ill.

What a cute card!

I was just reading about why bleach doesn't work for black mold on some surfaces (we thought it did, now we have to think again). https://blackmold.awardspace.com/kill-remove-mold.html

Your reply went into its own box- hate when that happens. Glad it made you smile.

The card is awesome! So cute!
The mold situation sounds so scary. The humidity is one of the tough things about living down South. It seems like each region has its pros and cons.

It is a constant battle against mold down here. It creeps up the sides of houses and stains the paint and blackens sidewalks and driveways. I have to pressure watch every other year.

Too warm up here in Northwest Ohio for a white Christmas. We may get a few flurries today but temperatures have been above average for most of December. Your cheery card is fun and brought me a smile!
