it's in the mail

Last year we didn't send out Christmas cards. With Hazel's birth and sealing announcements being sent out that year, I didn't have the time, ambition, or money to send out any more cards. Plus, I figured everyone was tired of hearing from us and seeing our smiling faces.

Well friends, this year I am going to send Christmas cards. (As I typed that sentence, I glanced down at the date on my computer and had a mild heart attack. It's November?!) Let me revise that statement. This year I am going to try really hard to send out Christmas cards. While I love designing my own cards, I have a slight hindrance this year. It is called "a 19 month old babe is attached to my leg/hip/stomach/arms/neck/back all day long and I really need to cut out some non-essential things from my life". So this year, I am jumping on the Shutterfly Christmas card bandwagon. I was surprised at how many cute ones to choose from; maybe I'll send out one of these....

(love the brown and green on this one)

 (i love that this one includes a little year in review)

...or maybe I'll spend lots more time looking at even more cards and all of their party invitations and gift tags. Did I mention that it is already November?! I need to get my stuff in gear and finish up Christmas presents and plan holiday meals and parties. Thank heavens I can almost cross Christmas cards off my to do list!
