Real Cheap Airfare - Christmas Photo Cards
And that makes it all worthwhile, i made someone smile, knowing that somewhere in the day, i go to bed each night with a sense of accomplishment, but. There's NEVER ENOUGH time to do everything that needs to be done). . . That's my point. . . I know there are not 36 hours in a day, it's a 36 hour a day job (yes. The things that make the world go round, you know. Eating right to maintain a somewhat healthy weight so my husband won't divorce me for letting myself go, showering. . . I also do the optional "duties". I am required to watch the same DVD 9 times a week and amuse my 5 year old by "pretending" I have never watched it before, feed the dog, cook dinner, clean the house, on top of my obligations of keeping a full time job. I think about the things I do on a daily basis as a wife and a mother.
Forego the annual letter and get creative with my cards! My solution? ". How do I send my well wishes without getting a thousand responses back asking me "what's wrong? So I had to be sneaky. The only thing I can say I accomplished is going an entire year without bouncing a check, honestly! You're supposed to write the annual Christmas letter to share your highlights of the year. Especially during the holidays. . . You panic. THERE'S NOTHING NEW TO ANNOUNCE! Then reality sets in and the lag comes. New houses, new jobs, new additions (dogs and cats), new baby, new marriage, it was easy at first. And cards to close the distance gap, pictures, so I maintain a record of emails, i live far away from most of my family. ). Is the only thing that keeps me together (although most of the time I tell them they are the ones that drive me crazy, especially in these hard times, family! I do it because of family.
They tell a story without saying a word! Pictures are amazing, trust me! And wish all of our friends and family a blessed new year, loved, safe, we go to the photographer and spend hours going through shot after shot until we finally choose the perfect one that says we are happy! ). So special attention needs to be made to coordinate outfits with him (and that's no easy task with a 60 pound Bassett, we have to plan early because our beloved dog is always included! Etc, scarves, whether we're going to do matching shirts, we first pick out the outfits. My family plans our Christmas cards months in advance. ) know my family is well! ? The aunt everyone has to talk to yet we all know she's the family black sheep, and let distant Aunt Judy (you know the one, creative, these cards allow me to be expressive? But I tell you from the bottom of my heart they are better than sliced bread, i am not the first person to discover photo Christmas cards!
It's this that makes the effort worth all the preparation. We keep a card for ourselves and we frequently go back and look to see how our family has grown. The date, and most importantly, the wording is perfect, making sure the colors don't clash, we probably spend more time on the card than the photo. Picking out the background, then comes the fun part.
) It is never too late to start a family tradition that will warm the hearts of all during the cold winter months that lie ahead ! What can be easier than that? . . Send, card, picture. . . You'll find it easier than you think to find a cost effective way to show off your creativity (3 easy steps, as a busy mom like yourself. I encourage you to do it this year, if you have never tried photo Christmas cards.
