Spreading the word about Krampus, sending several related postcards out... explaining the legend and hopefully inspiring people to be good so they can be visited by St. Nick instead of the punshing demon he travels with.

Stacey B.-- Menomonee Falls, WI
"One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade" -- Chinese Proverb quoted on the back of this friendly block printed postcard received from Stacey in WI.

Always a treat to find a card from Carroll in the mailbox!
I love that she uses recycled items and comes up with such wonderful combinations/creations.
