Last chance on holiday cards

We’ve been collecting homemade holiday cards and you can see them online at www.heraldnet.com/holidaycards.

There’s still time to join in the fun. Thursday is your last chance to send in your card or pictures. E-mail photos or the whole card to Jim Davis, P.O. Box 930, Everett, WA 98206; or deliver them to our office at 1213 California St., Everett.

The cards must be original work and you must be able to ensure they can be reprinted. Make sure to include a daytime contact number and a few lines about why your cards are better than store-bought ones. Online voting is set to begin Friday and run until Monday at 2 p.m. The Herald plans to publish the cards and results on Tuesday.
