Nineteen years ago on this date (which was a Saturday in 2006), I was sending out my Christmas cards (homemade this year) and the print and e-mail versions of my annual holiday newsletter.
I don't have an exact copy of my homemade card, but I believe on the front of it, along with the words "New Degree," I included parts of the graduation announcement for my Master of Science in Library Science degree, as I think I had plenty of announcements left over from May.
Inside the card, I had the words "New Job! New House! New Love!" as well as our names and new address, my phone number, and one of my e-mail addresses. I'd gotten business cards at work, so that provided the illustration for the job, while a photo of the house from June and a photo of the two of us from August provided the other two illustrations.
As I wrote to my sister-in-law June on this day, "Yes, I am one of those people who does a dreaded newsletter (since 1986)! Two years ago I started e-mailing it to most people to save postage and to be able to include more color photos (expensive to print out) as well as links to various web pages, and now to my online journal." The e-mail version (not pictured here) included the two photos from the inside of my card, plus a bonus photo of the back of our new house.
