Super cute christmas cards

It’s that time of year again, when there’s a million and a half things to check off of your to-do list before Christmas! And one of those things is of course, sending out the annual Christmas card. I have to tell you that I am generally bad at remembering to send out cards and consider it a bit of a hassle, but I have discovered a site that makes this hassle a little less bothersome!

Shutterfly, is as I’m sure you are familiar with, a website that allows you to upload your photos and then turn them into various fabulous gifts! In the past couple months, I have made a photo book, and a few photo cards and been very happy with their quality! The photo cards especially have gotten rave reviews with the family and friends who received them. So I can say with confidence that if you choose to purchase your Christmas cards from Shutterfly, (as I will be doing) you will be very pleased with the results! Plus they come super fast, and if you spend $25 you will receive free standard shipping! (which is huge this time of year!)


That being said, let me show you a few of my favorite holiday designs for this year:


Christmas Folded Cards:


    

Christmas Flat Photo Cards:

   

 

And while you're there, why not pick up some super cute Gift Tags ?



So if you're slacking and still haven't made your Christmas cards (like me) than you should definitely consider Shutterfly this year!

Christmas Crafts!

Now that we have celebrated Thanksgiving I believe it is now appropriate to fully embrace the Christmas season!  (Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday!- Christmas is a close second)
  
So I'll let you have a look at our Christmas activities so far....
     (Please keep in mind that I am not artistic by any stretch of the imagination, so if my Christmas tree drawing looks crappy please blame it on me and not on the artistic promise of my poor offspring!) Also she has only just turned two and been granted the honor of actually holding a glue stick.

A "pretty tree" according to Emma :)

 I'm calling this craft the "Charlie Brown tree", but surprisingly she spent like 20 minutes (an eternity in two year old time) hanging the "ornaments".   So I call that a success!

Thinking very serious thoughts, I'm sure....

And yes, we always craft wearing all our fine jewelry!

 And here we have mommy's super cheap and easy muffin tin advent calendar! The little circles are magnetized and will be filled with little treats in a few days!!!

And this one is just cute... she is seriously getting to be so big!

Happy Monday Everyone!
