Christmas Cards

This year I am trying something new, and therefore I am currently in search of the perfect Christmas card. Shutterfly has an awesome 2010 Holiday Collection of Christmas cards. The only problem is… they have so many wonderful designs to choose from. You can get 1 photo, 2 photos, or multiple photos, but I think I have it narrowed down to a few. But, I need your help in deciding. These are just examples and of course our family photo will be included. Out of a possible 221 5x7 cards my favorites are:

1. Most Wonderful Story

2. Holiday Love Sketch

3. Retro Flakes

So what do you think? As you can see I like the 1 photo option but, I need your help! Ideas, input, votes? If I get some good feedback on these cards, I would like to continue to use Shutterfly for years to come. It is so exciting and it surely beats out... sitting down, at the kitchen table, for countless and countless hours, writing out my Christmas cards the old fashioned way.

I have even thought about using their Birthday Cards for parties to come. Also, if you haven't checked out Shutterfly, I suggest you head on over and check out their awesome selection of cards for any occasion! They even have New Year's Invitations! This is so exciting and I can't wait to hear the rants and raves about my Photo Christmas Cards this year.

Kitchen In Progress

As most of you know, we bought a new house in April of 2010. Our original goal, was to refinish the cabinets and get all new appliances. Upon refinishing the cabinets, they began to fall apart, which left us with no choice but to gut the entire kitchen. Eek! Follow along and see my kitchen in progress...

All I was for Christmas is a complete kitchen! It has been almost 8 months and it's time to demand my finished kitchen. Stay tuned...
