I am tin the middle thirties and have yet to ever send out holiday cards, it's embarrassing. Especially when I love getting them so much. Seeing friends and families kiddos grace the cover of the card is so fun that time of year. I could easily go into my arsenal of excuses for reasons that I haven't done them like i.e. collecting the address is too time consuming {easily solved with ink invite}, when we have a child {or a dog} and have something to show people then I will start doing them, I am always past the ordering deadline, or just share the honest truth...I am just too lazy. Well this year thanks to the encouragement of my friend Amelia and my talented photog friend I think I think it's time to bite the bullet and get my butt in gear. So I have been dreaming up a few concepts to do a photo card like the one below - my husband is naturally thrilled {can you feel the sarcasm?}. I personally wish I could think of something hilarious to send out but till the perfect idea comes to mind I am leaning towards a little photo shoot I dreamt up of having a Christmas picnic at the beach!
What are you doing for your holiday card this year?
gift boxes // lanterns // picnic basket // mistletoe // cable-knit pillow // leather thermos // plaid blanket // matches // beach wood fire pit // wood bowl // gilded egg corns & pine cones // faux tree // tree topper // antler roasters // candy canes
It's on my 101 in 1001 list to send cards every year! I actually send New Years cards instead. I love Paperless Post PAPER and there's a 20% off coupon if you order before Sept 30. (Code is EARLY20). Last year I ordered early and stacked 20% off with free shipping which rules. I was really happy with the service, quick delivery and quality. Having the cards in hand early was great for addressing the cards and writing notes on the back. Can't wait to see what you choose!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellie - love the idea of a paperless post & appreciate the tips on the savings too!
