Still truckin..

We've been at home in Washington for a little while now. We'll be here for 3 weeks, so I won't be around on the Internet much. Don't forget about us :)

Happy Thanksgiving every one!

It's that time of year again...

Christmas cards!! I LOVE sending out Christmas pictures more than anything. I start planning a few months in advance to make sure it's better than the years past (kinda like I'm in competition with myself!). Not only that but I LOVE to receive them  as well (note to others from facebook... don't forgot to send us some :]) and hang them up for as long as possible. For anyone wondering, I do keep them and I even go look back at them to see how everyone has changed over the years.

This is my new favorite style that they have out...
Even though we don't do actual cards I love that you can now make your own Christmas cards with your own pictures. Seriously people how cool is that!!? (To look at the other style of cards you can go HERE). I'd show you what we have planned... but I don't want to spoil the surprise : ] Yes I know a few of you are just dieing in anticipation ha

Just a little FYI for those looking for gift ideas, we've gotten these in the past...


Personalized wall calenders (thanks Shirhia and Jason! I still love showing it off.) You can check them out HERE.  And...


Your own picture book (again thanks Shirhia and Jason! Yet another awesome gift that we are still able to show off to people :]). I've been wanting to make one for someone else, I just don't know who... and of what. Humm... either way if you want to make one for yourself... or moi ;] you can do so HERE.

So here's the best part... SHUTTERFLY is giving away 50 FREE Christmas cards or photo cards to bloggers! Yes you read that right. For someone who is on a strict budget this is the best thing ever. If you want to participate go HERE to fill out the form, it says that they will get back to you in 2-3 business days but they are super speedy and got back to me right away. I filled the info out on a Friday night so I wasn't expecting to hear from them till about Wednesday. Not the case! Monday morning I had an email waiting from them. YAY!

So for all my other bloggers out there you need to check this out! And who knows maybe I'll be seeing some of your cards in the mail...
