Christmas cards...already?



Call me neurotic, but by September I'm already thinking about Christmas cards.  Having the perfect Christmas card every year is something that is really important to me. Without fail, every year I spend an unreasonably large amount of time on this one project.  From getting the perfect pictures, to picking out the cards, to addressing the cards (by hand, mind you because it's more personal)...it's a big task.  I'm glad I do it because it creates cherished memories that we'll be able to look back on as a family.  And say things like, "what on earth was I THINKING with that hairstyle?"


I've got great news for those of us overachievers who want to get a jump start on our Christmas cards.  Tiny Prints has their entire 2012 Holiday Photo Cards ready for ordering.  Yay!  I've been perusing their selections and I like what I see!  Here are some of my favs:


   


Adorable, right?  Tiny Prints makes it really easy to find the perfect holiday card.  I can't wait to get some family pictures and create my masterpiece on Tiny Prints!  Now, if I could just figure out how to convince my photographer friend Drea to come up to Ohio and take our family pics.  *sigh*


So have YOU started thinking about your holiday cards yet?  I bet this will give you some incentive.  How about $50 off your Tiny Prints order?  (does not include shipping & cannot be combined with any other promos)  Leave me a comment telling me what favorite thing you do to prepare for the holidays.  I'll pick a winner via random.org on October 29, 2012.  Once the winner is chosen, Tiny Prints will directly email you a promo code.  In the meantime, be sure to check out their special offers page for all sorts of current promotions.


Want more chances to win?  You can also enter the same giveaway over on SIMPLE!


This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks to random.org, who pulled #10, our lucky winner is Diana!  Congrats girl!  The fun thing about hosting giveaways on my personal blog is that I know most of the people who comment, unlike on SIMPLE.  So congrats to my friend, I'll look forward to receiving one of those cards. *hint-hint* ;)

I guess I will have to delurk to get in on the fun and say, hello : )

My hubby is a photographer and yet we still manage to put off doing our Christmas card photo until the last possible minute.

I would say my favorite thing to do to prep for Christmas, is the whole Christmas tree farm experience. It usually pouring down rain and the kids are whining, but for some reason I just love it : )

I"ve got Christmas cards on the brain too:) We had a GREAT card last year and so I"m already trying to plan another;)

And since this is the first year in our new house... I"m looking forward to decorating for Christmas. WE'll probably go a little simple this year and then check out the after CHristmas sales for the following year:)

My favorite thing to do is decorate. I also love to think about what our Christmas cards will look like, so I am very excited about this giveaway! :)

I love the Christmas card we sent out last year, since it was also an announcement of the birth of our daughter, Camryn. I am already thinking about this year's card, so this giveaway comes at a perfect time.

I think my favorite thing to do to prep for Chritmas is decorating the tree. We have a fire going and some Christmas movie on the tv, and we all get involved to make it look beautiful. I love the Christmas season!

I love so many things about getting ready for Christmas. We start decorating at Thanksgiving! I love to send and receive Christmas cards (so this promotion would be ideal). This year I hope to start a special memory with Addie in baking Christmas cookies together to share on Christmas day with our family!

My favorite is putting up the tree...then sitting beside it with just the white lights anytime the entire season. (and the pine scented candle)
Hope to get a little more creative with our card this year. Maybe that could be my new favorite. :)

my favorite time during the holidays is decorating the cut out cookies. My sister and I have no artistic ability and they look hideous, but they taste yummy! Julie Leffler

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to decorate a gingerbread house with my 3 kids.

The girls and I love to prep for Christmas by getting out all of the decorations and deciding how to decorate.
