UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #6…Tari! Congratulations!
Like it or not, its time to start planning for the Holidays. (If you are a more on-top-of-it person than I am, you probably have already licked and stamped your Christmas cards. But oh well. I do what I can do…!)
In years past, I’ve done everything from professionally printed (as in offset, 4 color printing) cards, to store bought, boxed card, to virtual e-cards. And last year? Well last year I claimed exempt from Christmas cards. Here’s why.
Anywho, one thing I have NEVER done (and I don’t even know why!) is those cute photo cards with a picture or two and a simple little Christmas greeting. I’m especially baffled at myself because I absolutely love getting them from my friends. And since we’re so close, I don’t mind telling you that I don’t always read all the way through the Christmas “letters” we get. I know that’s horrible, but for me a picture really is worth a thousand words…especially at Christmas time. Don’t tell anyone I said that.
This year I’m really considering this route, however. Though I must admit I don’t miss the addressing, stuffing, licking and buying the postage stamps by doing virtual cards, I realize there is something missing from them. My best girlfriend threatens terminating our friendship if I send one more virtual card that she cant stick on her refrigerator.
So I’ve been leaning towards some options on Snapfish. I love this one…
