And even if you’re on time, we will probably still miss it as we are traveling north the end of this week. <strong><em>But please still send them!!! It is so great to come back and have so many cards waiting!!!</em></strong><br />
This year I am making our Christmas cards (we really like the Christmas Photo Cards) again through Shutterfly. It's amazing how easy it is to make your own card through their website and there are so many styles to choose from that you really are able to get exactly what you want. There are all types of photo cards, whether you want to share just one family picture for your card, or if you'd like to have several pictures on your card, you can be sure that they will have exactly what you're looking for. If you've never checked out their website, I encourage you to take a look and see all that they have to offer :).<br />
And for those of you who have a blog, go HERE and find out how you too can get 50 free cards this year! It’s not too late if you are anything like me and running behind!!<br />
Also, if you are wanting to make a New Year’s Day invitation, there are options for that too! And, you will really love their photo books. I have made a few through them and love them! There are many other gift ideas there too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13159150789704724833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656884467779708660.post-27289368027620838172010-12-10T20:56:00.001-08:002010-12-10T20:56:54.000-08:00Some of What You Missed This Fall…<p>Namely because I didn’t share it…sorry…some of you we will see soon…others, sadly, no:( Hope you enjoy…God is so, so good.  All the time.</p> <p align="center">Carving our Jack-o-Lantern at Pre-School</p> <p align="center">Picking out the pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_idAolf6sFcA/TQMDvY0uVtI/AAAAAAAAF5k/8LF-ujPr33s/s1600-h/Dad%20%26%20Marie%2C%20Fall%20Retreat%2C%20etc%20145%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;
