Buy Native 2012: Holiday Cards edition!
ok so I’ll be honest: I can’t afford to get each and every of my loved ones and friends a bunch of gifts (5 siblings, 4 parents, and like 16 first cousins later I’m tapped out!). but I do like to at least send nice winter holiday cards to let people know I’m thinking of them. I love the Buy Native campaign Jessica Metcalfe has spearheaded, so I figured I’d post a sample collection of some of the awesome Native-made cards for all the people like me who got families way too big!
