“Sending Christmas Cards…” December 7, 2011
“The fourth thing at Christmas that’s such a pain to me….sending Christmas cards…”
Ever hear that song? Hehe…cracks me up everytime!
It’s my favorite time of year! The time where we take hilarious photos, post them on Christmas cards, and make our families think we’ve lost our freakin’ minds!
We had professional photos taken this year because I realized that Pat and I don’t have any nice quality photos since he’s lost weight. He’s lost about 50 pounds in the past year (GO PAT!), and the only nice photos I have of us are from our wedding when he was 50 pounds heavier. Our wonderful friend Vanessa is an amazing photographer, so we hired her to do our photo shoot. I had her take some silly Christmas photos for our Christmas cards as well…special shout out to my hubby for being such a good sport!
Hehehe, I love our craziness 🙂 In order to support small business this holiday season, I purchased our Christmas cards from Nanette at Sweet Pea Baby. She has such amazing stuff! Nanette does everything from holiday cards to birth announcement and shower invitations. I LOVE her creations! And the best part…..she is quick! I didn’t have to wait long at all to get our card proof. Nanette’s shop policies also fill you in on the best ways to print your cards, and she even offered me some recommendations on good quality printing. She formats the proof depending on where you decide to get your cards printed that way they turn out the best they can 🙂 I think what I enjoy the most about her cards is they are so unique and not your typical “holiday photo greeting” you purchase from the usual big name photo companies. Here are our “shabby” holiday cards…
Aren’t they so great?! And get this…….it’s only $16 for her proof! And it only cost me $15 for 50 cards at Costco making it a whopping $31 for 50 cards! You can’t beat that price for the quality. So head on over to Sweet Pea Baby to get your custom Christmas cards today! 😀
