Christmas Cards

I love Christmas Cards.

LOVE.

They are such a treat!

I *just* picked mine out and got them printed - after WEEKS of trying to make my own in Photoshop, I realized I don't know how to do that kind of thing in Photoshop - annnnd, I'm not going to learn now - apparently.

So, the old standby - Walgreens.

Yep, I said it.

We have been getting our Christmas Card Pics done at Walgreens for FOUR years now.

This year, I was hoping to be all snazzy and smart and Photographer-ey and make my own beautiful, hip cards, have them printed in matte from my printer, and send them off each kissed with love.

But, NO.

Walgreens.

The one I picked is so-so. Not even close to what I was hoping to create on my own.

The picture is of the ultrasound - not some great shot of us from this year - cause we have none. How did that happen? Anyway, I digress.

The point I am trying to make here, but failing miserably at, is that

I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS - With Pictures.

I fawn over them.

JJ asks if he can open them because I am the one who MUST open every card so I can get the initial OOOHHH and AAAHHH surprise!

Do you know that I literally had every picture card we received in my kitchen window until about JULY this year?

Did you know, after I whittled them down to 4 pictures in July,

I still had them in my window sill until NOVEMBER this year?

In November, I finally relented and cut the pictures out from their Christmas backgrounds,

then moved them to my new office so I can see them every day right here and don't have to be embarrassed when people come over and see LAST YEAR'S Christmas Pics in my kitchen.

Here is a picture of my Filing Cabinet - in the closet - of our now Guest Room/Office.

It's complete with pics from my Loved One's Christmas Card Photos who live in other parts of the country.

Now, 'scuse me, I need to go pick up my photocards from Walgreens and get addresssing,

I'm really LATE getting these out from trying to make my own for way too long!

Looking forward to getting your card!
