I'm a Little Slow

A sneak peek of my Christmas card this year.

I just finished decorating my Christmas tree, sent my Christmas cards off to the printer, finalized the menu for the week of Christmas parties, got my sister's birthday present on its way, sent The Gent off to the store, and am finishing one of the last of the three "crafty" gifts that I am working on for Christmas and hoping to finish it up while cuddling on the couch with my hubby. Today has been very productive. I am feeling like I might be able to slow down just enough to enjoy a few days of the holiday season after all.

Yes, I realize Christmas is next week and it is pathetic that the tree has been up and undecorated for. . .way too long. But it's done. Ahhh. I love it but with all of the hustle and bustle I really do just love to enjoy my family and friends and not worry about some of the "less important" things sometimes.

Note to self: Don't procrastinate so much next year especially when you want to make "crafty" presents. Start the list early and have the presents wrapped mid December. Then you can enjoy the holidays. Also, a cut off for photog orders. . .as much as you love them, you need time to enjoy and work on your own projects.

That's all.

The Card Design

So now that Christmas is over and everyone has already gotten our Christmas cards I thought I'd share it with the blogging world. We have had so many comments on it which I love and appreciate. It might just hang on our fridge all year long because I still get excited looking at it and well, I just love it! For all of those who have inquired, I designed it myself and had it printed through the same company we have all of our photography prints made through. The pictures were taken by my good friend Kim who I work with at Simply You Photography. She does a fabulous job. (Although don't get any ideas on booking her since you can just book me! Love ya, Kim :-) As for design, yes I do other design work. You just have to ask. I have been asked about everything from invitations, announcements, brochures, flyers, etc. I love design and love making new things so I am up for just about anything. Here is our card. Accordian fold front and back. Printed on a pearlescent paper (think sparkly snow). Tied with a little green ribbon. I love it.
