One of the most important things this month of course is to say a HUGE Thank You to my favorite Doctor, Dr Sami Aboumatar of Austin Epilepsy. He's the doctor, (epileptologist), who first told me he would "fix" my seizures and then actually did. I can't tell you how many doctors told me they would help me before. He's a brilliant Doctor and a wonderful man. What amazing work he does. I will never cease to be thankful to him and his staff.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Do you make handmade Christmas cards? I realize I have many good friends who aren't Christian, so it's helpful to know if you make them or not. I also know several people don't care to make Christmas theme cards for whatever reason.
For me, it's just overwhelming and after doing handmade Christmas cards for the family and promptly seeing them thrown in the trash, I started giving them store bought Christmas card again. At any rate? Christmas? yay or neigh

Your card is cute with the doctor who hands out meds and a teddy bear! Awwww.... We are all so very thankful to this doctor for what he was able to do for you! Wow...just amazing. Thank God for wise and compassionate health care workers.
I do make handmade Christmas cards....but most of my best ones go to my crafty friends!! I know they will appreciate them. I so know what you mean abt seeing the card go into the trash. My favorite Christmas crafting supplies are ones that are Christ-centered. But for friends who aren't Christian, I also use winter holiday greetings. They can be just as beautiful and don't have the religious overtones.

Beatiful image and card. Love all the details.
Christmas cards are my favourite, I make them all year round. I need more than 100 Christmas cards every year.

Great card, and sweet nod to your doc! Yes, I make Christmas cards, typically only a select audience, but I am hoping for the bandwidth to make all of the personal Christmas cards plus all of the work team members Christmas cards this year....
Cute card. I do make
Christmas cards and
even got my mother
and sisters making
cards!

I'm making christmas cards and I've started sending. However, I have the same feeling as you Holly, that it is a pity for them because they are about to throw them out. But making these Christmas cards gives me pleasure, so most of them go to auctions for sick cats.
Fantastic card! Fabulous design and I love the touch of whimsy. I do make Christmas cards. I make about 100 and most are unique.
Fabulous card and three cheers to your doctor! I love the little band-aids. I make Christmas cards all year. It gives me pleasure to make them. They're like any gift, you can't help what the recipient does with it once it's given. :)
Ahhhh . . . The Good Doctor! Nice card. I make a different nativity scene card every year for Christmas. I give handmade cards to those who appreciate them and bought cards to my other friends.
What a perfect card to celebrate your amazing doctor! I have started making more of my Christmas cards, but still use “store bought” cards for the bulk of them. I make all of my Christmas thank you cards.
Holley - that is such a cute doctor card! Stamping Bella, of course. I send handmade cards to some of my stamping friends and store bought to others. But, XMAS stamps are not anything that I need more of.
Such a cute image, I love it and all your embellishments.
Yes, I make Christmas cards all year round, I enjoy this so much. I give my handmade cards to those, who appreciate them, for others I send cards which I buy.
Great card!
Yes, I make Christmas cards. This year I mailed my cards early and received cards with thank you notes saying how they look forward to my card every year. It's fine if the they don't keep it, as long as they enjoy it for the season.
I definitely make handmade Christmas cards. I don't send out a lot so it's easy and I refuse to buy Hallmark lol
Very cute card. Yes I make my Christmas cards. I do two styles, one quick and simple for some and more complicated ones for those I know will appreciate them.
Simply so cute!
Yes, I make Christmas cards, IMy daughter works in an office and every year she handover my cards to her colleagues and all office staff, which makes me Happy always!
You're right.. It's always a shame when your postcard is thrown into the trash.. I make Christmas cards, but only for those who can appreciate them and keep them as a keepsake..
It is a pity that people do not appreciate other people's work and creativity.. I love making postcards, but I give them to everyone who wants and asks me about it..
I love the fun doctor image on your card! It's so wonderful that you found a doctor to help you!
I do make Christmas cards....and I tend to send them to people that I know will appreciate the time and effort to make them. Others get the store bought cards!
You are so blessed to find such an awesome doctor. I don't celebrate Christmas with traditional styles.
Hi Holley
I love to create cards or tags at Christmas, to embellish gifts for friends and family.
You received the greatest gift with the care of the doctor who made you get to celebrate 12 years of recovery.

I love that you honor and thank your doctor every year, and credit him and his medical for giving you back you life! Most of my cards at Christmas are photo cards of my family but I also make some for family, teachers, special friends, and to donate to the women's shelter in town.
My cards are not religious, but are rather whimsical or general Christmas or winter themes.
I like this card. Fun doctor image .Yes I do christmas cards to my friends and
for relatives .And sometimes I also participate in charity raptures where I make cards.
Yes, I make so many Christmas cards and love sending them out! Wonderful Dr. card!
Lovely card... I make only few Christmas cards... And more new year cards to send it to friends...
What a fabulous card!! Love this image, too. And yes, I make all my Christmas cards, each one individual. I make them all year long!
lovely card!
yes I made handmade Christmas cards.
What a fun card Holley..and yay for you! Yes, I do make Christmas cards but I make them all year round so I'm not slammed in December. My Christmas list is smaller than it used to be, so I can make handmade ones for all family and friends. I also make extras to donate to local nursing homes.
I love this adorable doctor image! I need to make a thank you card for my doctor that went over and above for me when I filed for disability.
Yes, I make Christmas cards. Most are for people in nursing homes and my crafty friends. My grandkids get cards for any occasion!!! Lol
I am sure your doctor will smile when he sees this card. I only make a few Christmas cards each year because I send just to a very few people. Most of the cards that I make are birthday or sympathy and get well.
Such a lovely card. It's really nice to show your appeciation to the doctor like this. I am sure he will love it!
Most of the cards I make are Christmas.
Yes I make Christmas cards all year long - I am so grateful to read how this Dr helped with your seizures = that is truly amazing - Oh I wish I could participate all month - life event came up so I can't but I will check you out again at the end of the month. Blessings and thanks for inviting me to your blog - have a blessed day!
So sweet of you to make a card for your doctor! Too cute! I do make over 50+ handmade Christmas cards!!!!
I love to make christmas cards the whole year so festive....Your doctor is great bless him.
A good doctor is the best. I paint cards to sell but generally do not make Christmas cards.
This Doctor card is adorable! A good doctor is a thing to treasure for sure! I just met a new one in our new home as well! Dr. V-Jay is going to be in my life a long time.
As for Christmas cards, I do not. I put together a huge pile of lovely paper pieced nativity cards one year, and saw them thrown out. I was heartbroken because they took hours and hours to create.
Cute card. I love to make Christmas cards. I try to start earlier in the year so it's not so overwhelming.
Great card for your Doc. It is so satisfying when you find a great doctor who you can put all your trust in.
I like your doctor card, and such a great way to say thank you for all he's done for you! I do enjoy making Christmas cards and I am definitely a Christian. However, I don't tend to make traditional Christmas cards with nativity scenes or Baby Jesus as many of the recipients might not have the same beliefs that I do. Therefore, my Christmas cards feature gingerbreads, snowmen, and cute critters. I am hooked on Gingerbreads (gingerbread people, gingerbread houses, gingerbread cookies, and Christmas cookies) so if you have any of those, please think of me :-)
That oddball dr is so cute and yeah for Dr Sami Aboumatar and his staff. So glad he was able to finally help you, and long may you remain healthy. I love Christmas cards, but I don't tend to make traditional Christian style ones. I love cute and fun snowmen, santas and animals. For me Christmas is a celebration of family and friends so sending cards is something I love to do. I hope they don't end up in the bin too soon, but I know some will. I hope a few get kept and treasured. Or even upcycled. Hugz
Christmas is the time of the year when I made lots of card. I love make cards with Christmas theme.
Card you made is super. Love the little details, that you put on.
Love Oddball images. I do not make any Christmas cards, only in my Art Journal.
I love this doctor themed card and and the embellishments are perfect. Love making Christmas cards.
Adorable doctor card!! Yes, I love making my Christmas cards and only send them to those that appreciate them.
What a hero Dr Sami Aboumatar is!! I am so happy for you and your continued life without seizures. All due to this wonderful man! I only do Christmas cards for my grandchildren and since I am just unpacking my stamps this week, they did not get handmade cards this past Christmas.
