i love christmas cards

I really love Christmas Cards. We did not send them out a lot when i was a kid but as i've gotten older and i've had Connor, people send us Christmas cards and in turn, i've sent Christmas cards out for the past 2 years! I got really ahead of the game this year and i picked out my cards months ago. I contacted a friend who had taken a wonderful snapshot of myself and connor, who put the full fill on her flickr account and is letting us use it for our cards! she can be foundhere.

I have never really loved choosing "traditional" cards. maybe its because i don't like the traditional combination of red/green. or maybe i'm not really traditional, either way....this year i have picked out a beautiful light blue/red christmas card from shutterfly.com.



It is difficult during such a busy season to justify sending out Christmas Cards, especially when there are so many people to buy for from aunts to teachers!! This year, i decided to bargain shop for my cards and try to take the best advantage of shutterfly's deals! They have a great one right now involving fellow bloggers! If you blog about shutterfly's cards, they will gift 50 free christmas cards to you! and really, whats better than free?? you can find more info here.

Enjoy!

camera dump

About a month ago, my mom let me have her "old" camera card. i had been living off the little 512 card that i got in 10th grade, and mom had just been upgraded to the 4gig, so she graciously handed down her 2gig. My mom NEVER deletes pictures from her camera. i have NO IDEA why. but she just thinks they need to stay there. therefore, i found pictures from July 2009! yes ladies and gents, that was nearly a year ago!!! but it was so fun to look back and see Connor grow! here are just a few of my favorites!
