Does anyone know where I can order some paddling related Christmas cards? I
saw the ones at paddling.net but didn't care too much for them.

Steve,

We have sent out paddling Christmas cards a few times. The best of
them were cards printed with a photograph I took specifically for that
year's Christmas card. One was a snowman, complete with top hat,
carrot nose and corncob pipe, dressed in a PFD, holding a paddle and
seated in a Mad River Independence.

We've also sent out a card that was a photograph of an oil painting
that a friend did (from a photograph - hows that for full circle) of
one of our canoes at a wilderness campsite.

Maybe dress up your RPM with Christmas lights, greenery/wreath and
other decorations, borrow a Santa suit and have someone take a photo.
Or take an existing photograph and do a little Photoshop or other
software magic on it.

The larger photo developing shops will have a selection of photo cards
("Happy Holidays", "Seasons Greetings", etc) that can be made using a
customer-supplied photograph.
